Description
Sixth Form House at Hanley Castle High School is a school building that was originally a house, dating from around 1600 with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The structure features timber-framing and brick construction with tiled roofs. The earliest facade, which faces southwest, consists of a one-storey section with an attic on the left. This part has three bays and gabled attic dormers. The middle bay currently lacks a ground floor window and showcases three exposed principal posts, with close-studding above a middle rail. There are doorways in the middle bay and to the right.
To the right, there are two parallel gabled wings, both two storeys high. The right-hand wing, which is of one bay, is a 19th-century brick addition. The left-hand wing, also one bay, features exposed close-studding and a middle rail. The truss in this section has vertical struts between the tie-beam and collar, along with curved struts above. At the rear, there is a two-storey 19th-century block with three bays and a parallel hipped roof behind a parapet. The outer windows of this block are set within square projecting bays, which are connected by a single-storey glazed porch.
