Description

St Germans Church of England School, along with the attached gardener's cottage, was originally a pair of houses for the head gardener and the foreman gardener. Built in the mid-19th century, it has seen few alterations since. The structure is made of sandstone rubble with limestone dressings and features slate roofs with gable ends, some of which are partly slurried, topped with white terracotta chimney pots.

The school is located on the left, consisting of two parallel ranges with the entrance on the left side. The central cottage is on the right, designed as a one-room plan, while the end cottage is of double depth plan, featuring a central entrance and principal rooms on the front right and left, both with gable end stacks. Attached walls are located to the left of the school.

The school is two storeys high, with a central plain double doorway leading to an internal yard. On the first floor, there are three 16-pane sash windows with stone voussoirs. The left side of the school has an external granite stair on the right, leading to a 20th-century door in the rear range at first floor level, along with a 4-pane sash window to the right.

The gable end of the rear range features a 4-centred arched doorway leading to the cellar, paired 8-pane sashes on the first floor, and a single ventilator above. The central cottage is slightly recessed and has a central brick axial stack, with two 16-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors at the front, also with stone voussoirs. The doorway for this cottage is located at the rear, facing the Port Eliot garden.

The cottage on the right is two storeys high with a symmetrical front featuring three windows, all 16-pane sashes with stone voussoirs, and a central plain door with glazed panels. The right side of this cottage is slate-hung at the upper level. The attached walls are made of rubble with stone coping, extending about 70 metres and standing approximately 3 metres high, running along Church Road and ramping down at intervals.
