Description
The School is a village school built around 1890, designed in an ornate picturesque style. It is constructed of red brick with contrasting banding and features steeply pitched plain tiled roofs with crested ridges and gable finials. The building is one and two storeys high, with ground floor casements that have moulded brick pediments above them. On the west side, there is a projecting wing that includes a first-floor verandah under a hipped roof, topped with a turret that has rough cast panels, a steeply pitched roof, and a weather vane. The west side also has a half hipped dormer and a gabled dormer. To the south, there is a large double-height bay window with four lights and two transoms, along with a coved soffit to the extended gable that features rough cast panels and curved timber braces. The east side has a half hipped wing, and there is a lantern with a bell-cast roof on the main ridge line. The chimney stacks are adorned with moulded terracotta shafts.
