Description

King's School (Maclean House) is a former Canon's house that is now part of King's School. It was built in 1841, designed by Lewis Vulliamy, and enlarged in 1911. The building is in the Tudor domestic style, constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a stone plinth and basement, and features stucco dressings. The roofs have Kent tile gable ends.

The structure is two storeys tall with a basement and attic, featuring a symmetrical front with a window arrangement of 2:1:2. The central bay projects and rises a full three storeys under a gable with stone coping and polygonal brick stacks topped with stone caps at the kneelers and gable wall apex. A central porch with a four-centred arched doorway is advanced to the front of the site and is attached to flanking rubble ragstone walls.

The building has two-light casement windows throughout, except for single-light slit windows on either side of the central bay. A string course connects the hood moulds of the first-floor windows and continues along the end elevations. Quoins are present at all angles. The end elevations feature one and two-light windows with clustered shafts at the gable stacks, and there is a cluster of six shafts on the rear stack of the front range. The 1911 rear extension has been carefully designed to complement the original building.

Inside, an open well stair rises around the central entrance hall.
