Description
The building is a school constructed in 1856. It is made of red brick with limestone ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with stone coped gables and a single ridge stack. The structure is primarily a single storey, with a central gabled section that rises to two storeys and includes a garret, spanning 13 bays in total.
The school has an ashlar dressed plinth and the central three bays contain a doorway framed by a flush ashlar quoined surround, featuring a shallow triangular head, an overlight with two pointed lights, a hood mould, and a single head label stop. Below this is a lower basket arch with a panelled door. To the left, there are two cross mullion windows with continuous hood moulds. Above these, on the left, is an oriel window that is blind and has a cusped frieze, along with three shallow pointed lights above. The design includes a stepped stone roof and a segmental relieving arch.
To the right, there is a three-light mullion window, with the outer lights having pointed, cusped heads. Adjacent to this is a similar single light window set at a slightly lower level. This section extends to form a bell tower, which features a corbel table adorned with small foliate motifs. Above this, there is a tapering turret with ashlar quoins, topped by an octagonal ashlar bell stage that has eight pointed, cusped openings, and is surmounted by an ashlar spire with a small finial.
Flanking the projecting gabled bays are single lean-tos, each equipped with a three-light mullion window at the front and pointed doorways in the return walls, which have hood moulds, head label stops, and plank doors. Beyond these lean-tos, there are four windows on each side, all ashlar dressed and featuring paired shallow pointed lights. The roof above has two gabled ventilator openings on each side, adorned with ornate wrought iron finials and trefoil openings.
The return walls each have a pointed doorway with an ashlar quoined surround, hood mould, and a single label stop, along with a large pointed five-light window that has the upper three lights above a transom, all with pointed heads. A small quatrefoil is present in the apex of the structure.
