Description
The school and schoolmaster's house, built in 1876, is constructed of red brick and stock brick, featuring slate roofs adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The building has stone-coped gables with kneelers and ornate stone and wrought iron finials, as well as decorative brick eaves and five tall lateral stacks with moulded, decorative brick heads.
The two-storey schoolmaster's house on the left has three bays, a stock brick dressed plinth, stock brick quoins, and a first-floor band. It features a slightly projecting gable to the right, with a central doorway that has a hood supported by a single chamfered, broached column and a plank door. To the right, there is a rectangular bay window with decorated eaves, which includes a plain sash flanked by two narrow plain sashes, all topped with triangular stock brick dressed heads. Another window to the right has a plain sash flanked by single narrow plain sashes, also with triangular stock brick dressed heads. Above, there are three plain sashes, each with stock brick dressed triangular heads, and a stock brick oculus in the gable.
Attached to the right is a single-storey, five-bay school with a stock brick dressed plinth, stock brick quoins, and two stock brick bands. The design features three gabled bays alternating with two narrow bays, with the central bay being larger and projecting further forward. The central window consists of four rectangular lights with a transom, stock brick quoins, and three small stock brick arches above, set in a larger stock brick pointed head that contains a stock brick round window with radiating spokes. This window is flanked by single narrow casements with rectangular lintels. The outer bays each have a single window with three rectangular lights, stock brick quoins, and three small stock brick pointed heads above, set in a larger stock brick pointed head containing a stock brick round window with radiating spokes. The re-entrant bays each feature a single doorway with a stock brick triangular head, an overlight, and a plank door. There are also two gabled dormers on the north side, each with small, pointed trefoil-headed windows. The foundation stone below is inscribed with the date "1876."
