St Peters Church House

St Peter's Church House is a school with a headmaster's house, built in 1842 and designed by the architect GA Boyce. The building is constructed of mass wall construction with roughcast rendering over a stone rubble plinth, and has a natural slate roof. There are no visible chimney stacks on the front elevation.

The building's plan consists of three rooms wide and two rooms deep, flanking a large central hall. The exterior is symmetrical, with three bays and five windows. The central bay projects forward and is gabled. A banded cornice runs along the first and second floors of the projecting bay. Plank and panel doors with a central glazed panel and studding are set within doorways having Tudor-arched heads and dripstones with carved label stops. The first and third bays have small-pane iron casement windows with middle hung lights. An original tripartite stone mullioned window with margin panes and geometric glazing bars is located at the ground floor level of the right-hand end; this window also has a drip mould. Modern roof lights have been added.

The interior, only partially inspected, features a timber moulded Tudor arch doorway leading from the headmaster’s house into the ground floor school room. The school room is also entered from a side passage behind the entrance door in the third bay, where there is a three-light window looking into the school room. The first-floor school room has a canted ceiling with moulded beams and carved bosses, and the moulded roof timbers are supported on carved corbels.

A wooden plaque in the passage commemorates the school's erection in 1842 for the Tiverton Bluecoat Schools. The building served as a middle school for boys until 1910, and was purchased for parish purposes in 1911 for approximately £1,800, including adaptation costs.
