Eveleigh Cottage Eveleigh House

Eveleigh Cottage and Eveleigh House comprise a former schoolmaster’s house and attached elementary school, now two separate dwellings. The core of the building dates to the early 19th century, with extensions added in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

The house is mainly constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The upper story of the house is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The school building is roofed with slate. The house has a rectangular plan and faces south, featuring two rear stacks. An early 19th century schoolroom extends to the rear left of the house, with a single external stack at the rear. A later 19th century schoolroom was built in front of this, creating a school of two parallel ranges. A 20th century lean-to extension has been added to the rear of the house, forming a catslide roofline. A small, flat-roofed extension is located to the right of the house.

The house is two stories in height, while the school is single-story. The front of the house displays a two-window range of original 16-light sash windows with crown glass; the lower windows are arched. A central door, composed of six panels with the top two panels glazed, is situated within a semi-circular arch. The roof is hipped.

The school building (now Eveleigh House) features a front elevation in a Gothic Revival style, with a four-light sash window featuring chamfered brick mullions and jambs. A boarded door with a plain overlight is recessed within a porch, with chamfered jambs and a two-centred arch constructed of alternating red and blue bricks. A band of blue bricks runs around the left return of the late 19th century schoolroom, accompanied by five crosses of blue bricks beneath the front window. A sash window of three lights with chamfered mullions, jambs, and two-centred heads is present on the left return, with four blue brick crosses below it. The rear stack had been truncated below the eaves. A bell-turret mentioned in the listing of 5 August 1982 was absent during a survey in July 1985.
