Description
The former Thornhaugh County Primary School is a mid-19th century building that has been converted from an earlier structure. It is a single-storey stone range featuring an ashlar front and a half hipped thatched roof. The building has seven bays and includes two porches, each with a hipped thatched roof and double recessed square-headed doorways with boarded doors. The windows are plain 2-light casements with glazing bars. There is an external stone stack on the front left and a ridge stack that is off centre. At the rear, there is a catslide roof with two 19th-century dormers that have timber framing in the gables, along with pierced bargeboards.
