Description
Marchwood Primary School is a school building dating from around the mid-19th century, with extensions added in the late 19th to early 20th centuries and later in the 20th century. The structure is built of yellow and buff coloured brick, with red brick at the rear, and features a clay plain tile roof with gabled ends adorned with ornate shaped and pierced bargeboards. There is a brick axial stack with multiple shafts.
The school has a picturesque Victorian Gothic style and is single storey. Its asymmetrical west front consists of fifteen bays, featuring a projecting gabled cross-wing on the left, a gabled porch at the angle, a projecting gabled bay to the right of centre, and a dormer, all showcasing ornate pierced bargeboards. The exterior includes large two-, three-, and four-light stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds and lozenge-shaped panes, with the left window featuring a transom. Each gable has small pointed arch panels, and there is a pointed arch doorway leading to the porch. The large gabled porch on the left side has a tall pointed arch doorway and a large canted bay to the left with lozenge panes, as well as a similar canted bay on the south gable end. There is a late 19th to early 20th-century extension adjoining the rear southeast, along with a large later 20th-century extension to the rear northeast.
Inside, the two large schoolrooms are open to their roofs, supported by scissor-braced trusses.
