Description
The building is a school and attached school house constructed in 1851, with some 20th-century alterations. It features coursed limestone rubble and some ironstone ashlar, topped with slate roofs that include a single projecting gable stack and three lateral stacks. A lead-covered wooden bell turret is present.
The school is a single storey, while the school house is two storeys. The front of the building is irregularly bayed, with the school house projecting to the left. It has a single casement window with glazing bars and an ogee-headed lintel on the ground floor, and another casement above it with glazing bars and a plain lintel. Above this is a rectangular blank niche, and the gable has wooden eaves.
On the left return, there is a doorway with a large wooden porch. The school section to the right is recessed and features large 20th-century paired windows with large panes and glazing bars, set beneath a gable with ornate timber framing. To the right, there is a long projection with a plinth, which includes a doorway with an ogee-headed lintel and a plank door, along with a large window with fixed glazing bars above it and a gable with wooden eaves.
The projection is topped by a tall, ornate bell turret that has a ribbed base and a projecting platform. This platform features two wooden openwork rectangles, one above the other, with ornate semi-circular openings and trefoils in the spandrels. The bell is hung in the upper openings. Above the turret is a large ribbed bell-shaped structure with overhanging eaves, culminating in a smaller ribbed bell-shaped apex. To the right, there is a gabled block set back, which has a small fixed 20th-century casement to the left and a five-light 20th-century casement set in the gable above, combined with decorative timber framing. A smaller gable is set above this.
