Description
Saint Andrew's Infants School is a school and master's house built around 1860, with later alterations from the 19th or early 20th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble with Bath stone dressings and features a steeply-pitched fishscale slate roof with stone-coped gable ends and crested ridge tiles, along with stone axial and lateral stacks.
The layout includes two schoolrooms that are at right angles to each other, with the schoolmaster's house located in the cross-wing on the left (west). There is a porch leading to the schoolroom in the angle and an additional porch and outshut on the left side. A small single-storey extension was added to the east side of the rear schoolroom during the later 19th or early 20th century.
Designed in the Tudor Gothic style, the exterior features a one-storey and attic master's house on the left within the gable-ended cross-wing. This includes a stone bay window on the ground floor with two 4-centred arch lights that have casements, and a 2-light casement window above set in a chamfered stone frame. There is a gabled stone porch in the angle on the right with a chamfered pointed arch doorway. The schoolroom on the right is set back and has two large 2-light stone mullion-transom windows, with the top lights featuring 4-centred arches; a later window has been inserted on the left. The east gable end displays a large late 19th or early 20th century segmental-headed 4-light mullion-transom window. The rear schoolroom has a continuous dormer with a raking roof on both the east and west sides, and a gabled lateral stack on the east side with weathered set-offs, along with a single-storey red brick extension that has stone mullion-transom windows. The roof on the west side of the master's house includes a half-hipped dormer and extends over the porch, which has a pointed arch doorway and an outshut with a small half-hipped gable, as well as a 3-centred arch doorway at the rear with a studded diagonally planked door.
Inside, the rear schoolroom is open to the roof and features scissor-braced trusses. The front schoolroom has an inserted ceiling, but the feet of the trusses are visible on corbels.
