Description
Colvestone Primary School is a one-storey building constructed in 1862 by Knightley in the Gothic style. The school features four main windows on either side of a central bay, which is accentuated by an open stone porch with a pyramidal roof supported by short piers with carved capitals. The building has high-pitched tiled roofs with four gables facing the road, with the wider outer gabled bays forming the ends of slightly projecting wings. It is built of red brick with stone dressings and has sloped buttresses between the bays. The windows are paired or tripled cusped lancet types with round plate windows above, all set under pointed brick arches, and they vary slightly in design. Smaller, plainer windows are located between these larger windows.
