Description
Abbey Infant School and Teacher's House is a building constructed in 1859, with a later 19th-century projecting east wing to the right, designed in the Jacobean Revival style. It is made of brick and features steeply pitched slate roofs with ashlar dressings. The building has gabled roof ventilators and moulded coped gables topped with crosses, along with two rear wall stacks.
The structure is single storey and L-shaped. All windows are mullioned and transomed casements set in chamfered reveals. The main west wing includes an off-centre projecting bay with a four-light window and a datestone inscribed 'Rectory Infant School A D 1859'. Above this bay is an ogee curved shaped gable with a finial and a central ventilator, flanked by single three-light windows. To the left, there is a single window with a 20th-century door inserted, and to the right, a doorway with a chamfered lintel, leading to the gable of the east wing, which has a stepped-head eighteen-light window flanked by single windows and a central ventilator above.
The west front features, to the left, a three-light window, followed by an eight-light stepped head window. The east wing has a central external stack flanked by single windows and a 20th-century door to the right. The house portion of the building is two storeys with two bays, also L-shaped, and has two gable stacks along with a single rear and side wall stack. The main south front features a projecting gabled wing on the right, with two three-light windows and two two-light windows above. There is a trefoil opening above to the right, and in the return angle, a Tudor arched door with a single window above it.
