Description
Semley School and Schoolhouse is a primary school and schoolhouse dating to 1866, likely designed by T.H. Wyatt. The building is constructed of dressed limestone with tiled roofs, coped verges, and stone and brick stacks. It comprises two single-story schoolrooms flanking a central schoolhouse, all with gable ends to the road.
The schoolhouse features a 4-panelled door and a 3-light chamfered mullioned casement window on the ground floor, and two 2-light chamfered mullioned casement windows in the attic, all with hoodmoulds. The gable has a datestone and a trefoil above, and an apex with a bellcote. A lateral stack with offsets is on the right return. A single-story boiler room, built of brick, links the house to the schoolroom on its right.
The schoolroom to the right has two 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement windows, without hoodmoulds. Its right return has a truncated external stack and two 2-light mullioned casements. The schoolroom to the left is linked to the house by a flat-roofed porch with double doors, and has two 4-light double cyma-moulded mullioned casements; the left return incorporates a flat-roofed extension. The rear of the building has flat-roofed 20th-century extensions, not visible from the front.
Internally, there are inserted flat ceilings and glazed partitions, alongside 20th-century partitions.
The school and schoolhouse represent a good, largely unaltered example of a village church school, forming a pleasing grouping with each other and the adjacent Church of St Leonard.
