Description
Foley Infants School and School House, now two houses, was built in 1850 by Thomas Smith of Stourbridge. The building is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a polychromatic slate roof with coped verges. It is designed in a Gothic style and is aligned north-west to south-east, facing south-west.
The school occupies the left side and is a single storey structure set on a coped plinth. It has about five bays, with three central windows that have segmental pointed heads and Geometric tracery, each located beneath a gable. The central gable includes a bellcote, and there are flanking two-leaf glazed doors.
The house is attached to the right and features a square tower that is two storeys high with an attic and a pyramidal roof. The ground floor has a canted bay window with a hipped roof, while the first floor includes two segmental pointed windows and one attic window with a gable above. There is also a single-storey, single-bay wing to the right, which has a gabled attic dormer.
