Description
Southwold Junior Mixed and Infants' School is a late 19th-century board school consisting of two adjoining buildings made of stock brick, featuring red brick and Portland stone dressings. The school has high-pitched tiled roofs. The east wing is three storeys tall with an attic and has four irregularly spaced windows. It features a hipped roof with gablets, one dormer, and a tall pedimented shaped gable that breaks the eaves on the right side.
Connecting the east wing to the main block is a three-storey, two-window link with a parapet. The main block has two parallel roof ridges, with gable ends facing the road. These gables are larger and more elaborate than the one on the east wing, with the eastern gable being the largest due to its higher roof ridge. There is a moulded string at the second-floor level and elliptical stone hoods above the large second-floor windows. The right return has five bays and features three gables similar to those on the first and south elevations, which follow the same pattern.
