Southwick And North Bradley Scout Headquarters The Old School House

The Old School House and Southwick and North Bradley Scout Headquarters is a national school with a teacher's house, now functioning as a semi-detached house and scout headquarters. It was built in 1867. The building features Flemish bond brick with limestone bands and quoins, and has Bridgwater tiled roofs adorned with ceramic ridge cresting, coped verges, and finials.

The structure consists of two parallel ranges with a clock tower situated at the angle between the two front gable ends. To the left is a single-storey school room range that includes a flat-roofed porch with 20th-century inserted steel casements. Above the porch is a full gable featuring a 6-light mullioned and transomed casement. Both the rear and front gable ends are decorated with 3-light pointed windows that have cusped lights and a quatrefoil above.

The three-stage clock tower at the front has a Tudor-arched planked door with ornamental strap hinges and the inscribed date of 1867 above it. The left side and middle stage of the tower have cusped lancets, and there is a moulded string course that serves as hoodmoulds over the windows. The front and left sides of the tower feature circular clock faces, and it has an offset octagonal stage topped with a short octagonal spire that has gableted pointed openings.

To the right, the schoolhouse range projects and includes a 2-storey stone bay on the gable end. The ground floor has a square shape with three cusped lancets, while the first floor is canted and has two lancets at the front, all beneath a shallower pitched roof supported by kneelers. The right return of the Old School House features a shouldered doorway next to an external stack, with a 3-light chamfered mullioned casement to the right, and single-light and 2-light chamfered casements on the first floor, with a gable over the right one.

Inside, the former schoolroom retains an arch-braced collar truss roof and a glazed partition. This building is noted as a good example of a gothic-style National School, likely designed by a local architect.
