Asymmetrical plan, the main range with a front left and rear right crosswing. The building adjoins the school and is conspicuously-sited on the corner of Fore Street and Newton Road. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1 window front to Fore Street with the gable end of a crosswing to the left and the long side of the main range to the right with a projecting lateral stack with set-offs.
