Dagfa House School

Dagfa House School is a house that has been converted into a school, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick, stucco, and colourwash, featuring gabled slate roofs. The building has an ashlar plinth, deep eaves, three ridge stacks, and a single gable stack. It is two storeys tall with attics, measuring three bays wide and five bays deep, and has an irregular T-plan.

The windows are primarily Gothick leaded casements. The garden front includes a two-storey gabled wing on the right, which has a hipped timber latticed verandah, and a two-storey square turret at the return angle. This side features three tall casements, with three additional casements above, the rightmost of which has a hood mould.

On the east front, there is a higher two-storey section to the right and an off-centre two-storey wing with a full-width gabled bay window. To the left, there is a porch in the return angle, which has a Gothick panelled door and overlight, flanked by a casement and a blank panel. To the right, there are two casements and a door with an overlight, with a blank panel and a casement above to the left, and a casement with a hood mould and three additional casements to the right.

The north gable features a latticed barred casement and door, while the return angle has a Gothick casement above and irregular 20th-century fenestration. Inside, the principal rooms have plaster wall panels with wood or plaster architraves. The Music Room boasts an oval plaster ceiling panel in the Adam style, complete with a moulded cornice. The Study features a deep foliate cornice and frieze, while the Library has a cornice and a moulded wood fireplace, flanked on the left by a fitted cupboard and on the right by a door, both with fanlights.

The cantilevered principal staircase and landing, dating from around 1870, is in the Gothic Revival style and features turned balusters, newels, and strapwork. There is also a service winder stair with stick balusters, an early 19th-century moulded wood fireplace with a Greek Key design, and a late 19th-century oak fireplace with composite columns. Additionally, there is a Gothick panelled door.
