Description

Horningsham County Primary School is a primary school with an attached school master's house, built in 1844 for the Longleat Estate. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features a tiled roof with a pair of diagonally-set ashlar stacks. It has an 'L'-shaped plan and is a single storey with three windows.

On the right side, there is a gabled porch that has Tudor-arched planked doors on the sides and a 2-light Perpendicular window at the front, with coped verges. To the left, there are three 2-light recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. The left return features a large 3-light Perpendicular window with a hoodmould and one recessed chamfered light above, also with a coped verge. The roof is topped with a square louvred bellcote that has a pyramidal lead roof and a weathervane.

Attached to the left is a lean-to that includes a planked door and a 2-light casement window, along with access to a tunnel leading to the rear playground. The rear of the building has a lean-to porch with a 2-light beaded mullioned casement window, while the main range displays two large hollow-chamfered mullioned windows. The infants' block in the rear wing to the right has round-arched windows at the basement level and an entry to the tunnel, with the ground floor featuring a cross window and a hollow-chamfered window on either side.

Inside, the school has 4-panelled doors and a partly glazed partition to the main room, with the roof concealed by a dropped ceiling. The school house, located to the right of the main porch, has a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement window with a hoodmould and a doorway leading to No 68. The first floor includes a gabled half-dormer with a 2-light mullioned casement window, which is now partly used as the school kitchen.
