Main Building Of The Cedars School

The main building of The Cedars School, constructed in 1855 by W C Reed, is designed in a restrained Italianate style. It features yellow brick with stone dressings and a hipped Welsh slate roof adorned with a modillioned cornice. The building stands three storeys high and includes chamfered quoins and a first-floor sill band. There are seven sash windows with moulded surrounds on the ground and first floors. The ground floor has modillioned cornices supported by consoles, while the first floor features a central segmental pediment also on consoles. The upper floors have a central grouping of three windows, flanked by one normal-width window and two narrower windows. The central entrance includes a door and two windows on either side, all set in surrounds with Corinthian half columns and pilasters. To the north, there is a lower two-storey recessed wing with a single-storey addition in front. The building is part of a group with Nos 2 to 14 (even).
