Description
The Bobath Centre, formerly known as No 250 (Pardes House School) and previously listed as Holy Trinity Church of England School, is a former school building located on East End Road in Finchley. It was constructed around 1847 by Anthony Salvin, as indicated by the date on the bellcote. This modest building features architectural elements that foreshadow the Arts and Crafts movement.
The structure is a single-storey, three-bay range with a slightly projecting central section that has a high gable topped with a bellcote. There are short, two-storey gabled side wings that project from the main building, each with one-storey set-back outer extensions. The building is made of red brick and has high-pitched roofs covered with large slates, along with two later dormers. It features end chimneys and an asymmetrical diagonal chimney at the left angle of the central section.
The windows are small paned casements or sashes set under segmental arches with sloped tiled sills. In the center, there are two tall windows and an unglazed, stone-framed light above. The gables are adorned with moulded stone copings. At the inner angles of the wings, there are two square gabled porches with stone Tudor-arched entrances, labeled "GIRLS" and "BOYS."
