Former Legat's School of Ballet

This is a former girls' orphanage, later used as a ballet school, built between 1865 and 1868 by Edward Welby Pugin. Constructed in the Gothic style, it is built of red brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings, polychromatic black brick headers, and a slate roof with ribbed brick chimneystacks. The building is three storeys high with attics and has 19 windows across the front.

The building is composed of a central gabled feature, recessed wings, and end gables. The central gable features an elaborate saddlestone and a second-floor four-light window with a tympanum depicting Christ and mothers. This window has quatrefoil transoms. The first-floor window, also four-light, contains a sculpture of St George slaying the dragon. Window heads are decorated with trefoil motifs and feature balustrading and aprons. The ground-floor doorcase has dying mouldings and female masks, leading to double doors with chamfered panels.

The recessed wings on either side have seven bays, topped with Mansard roofs, bands of fishscale tiles, corbelled eaves, and diamond motifs in the black brick headers. Seven narrow gabled dormers, each with a finial, are also present. The first floor features seven arched mullioned and transomed windows with trefoil heads and cinquefoil lights, while the ground floor has fourteen Caernarvon arched windows.

The end gables also have saddlestones. The second floor of the left gable has a three-light mullioned and transomed casement with a cinquefoil above, and the first floor has two trefoil windows. The ground floor of the left gable has four Caernarvon arched windows. A further two-storey section to the left features buttresses and four paired Caernarvon arched windows to the first floor and triple arched windows with quatrefoils on the ground floor.

The return elevation to the right displays six gabled dormers, six Caernarvon arched sash windows on the first floor, and five cambered windows on the ground floor. A single-storey service wing incorporates six windows, including two double Caernarvon arched windows. The rear elevation has fourteen dormers and cambered windows on the ground and first floors. The central gable's second floor has a transomed window with a trefoliated head, and the first floor has a three-light mullioned and transomed window. The right side gable has a rose window.

The building was originally intended to accommodate approximately 120 girls, along with lodging for a community of religious women. The Society of the Holy Child Jesus managed the orphanage until around 1924. It was originally built as a pair with a boys' orphanage (now Mayfield College and the convent of the Holy Child Jesus at Mayfield).
