Description

Coltishall County Primary School is a village school built in 1845, with extensions added in 1875 and 1877 by Edward Boardman. The building is constructed from knapped flint with gault brick dressings and features slate roofs. The original structure forms the central section of an 'I' shaped plan, with hipped cross wings and internal angle porches added in 1875, and a gabled extension to the northeast in 1877. There is also a corrugated iron extension to the northwest and a smaller red brick extension at the rear.

The symmetrical facade includes a central bay with four windows and a pediment, while the cross wings have one window each and the entrance porches are located within the internal angle. Notable features include a moulded brick corbelled eaves cornice, a moulded brick verge to the pediment, and a sundial within the pediment. The building has two and three-light hopper windows with brick hood moulds and gault brick axial chimneys marking the ends of the original National School. A central axial timber bellcote with a lead-covered spire and weather vane is also present. Additionally, there are two cast iron pumps: one located at the rear against the east wall of the northwest wing and the other against the west wall of the eastern angle porch. The school is included for its group value with the Old School House.
