Description
King Edward's School is a detached house, now serving as a school, built around 1830-1840. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a hipped slate roof with axial stacks. The building has a double depth plan with rear wings and stands two storeys high with a basement, presenting a five-window range on the façade.
The exterior includes a moulded coped parapet with stone balustrades over the windows, a returned moulded cornice, a ground floor platband, and a plinth. The basement exhibits banded rustication with radial voussoirs. The six/six-pane sash windows have moulded architraves, with those on the first floor adorned with cornices. The centre of the building steps forward, featuring a full height canted bay and blind balustrading on the windows. The ends of the building also step forward, topped with pediments on consoles and pierced stone balconies supported by stone brackets at the first floor windows.
Inside, the school boasts four-panel doors, moulded architraves with cornices, dado rails, and skirting boards. A white marble fireplace is located in the entrance hall. Additionally, there is a stone balustrade approximately 30 meters long and 4 meters wide that encloses the terrace at the front of the building.
