Description
Somerby County Primary School is a school building constructed in 1876 and restored in the late 20th century. It features coursed and squared ironstone and artificial stone, with moulded brick and ashlar dressings. The structure has a chamfered plinth, coped gables with kneelers and finials, billeted moulded brick eaves, and a coped grouped brick ridge stack along with a late 20th-century lateral brick stack. The building is designed in an L-plan and consists of one and two storeys with three unequal bays.
The front elevation includes a projecting gabled wing on the right, which has a buttress to the left. This wing features a moulded pointed doorway with a recessed late 20th-century glazed door, and to its right, there is a canted bay window with a two-light cross mullioned window, plain sashes, and single flanking sashes. Above this, to the left, is a blank roundel, and to the right, a mullioned double sash window. Further up, to the left, there is a stepped pyramidal base that supports a restored octagonal louvred wooden bell turret, topped with a cross-gabled leaded cap and an ornate wind vane.
To the right of the gabled wing, there is a hipped corner porch with a close boarded door. To the left, there is a set-back range with two two-light mullioned casements. Beyond this, there is another gabled wing with a coped lean-to porch on each side. The central gable features a graduated transomed triple lancet window with casements. Each porch has a chamfered four-centred arched doorway with a close boarded door and three small casements with chamfered surrounds on the side.
The east gable has a graduated triple lancet opening with casements, while the west gable, rebuilt in the late 20th century, has two small casements and a porch to the left with a similar casement. Above this, there are two casements, and above again, a blank quatrefoil.
