Description

The Querns School and attached garden wall date from the early 19th century. The front of the building is constructed of coursed squared limestone, originally pecked to receive a render which has since been removed. The sides are of coursed squared limestone rubble, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring hipped parapets. There are two rebuilt brick stacks on the gablets of the left side, and a rebuilt brick stack to the right end.

The building is a three-storey, three-window arrangement. The first floor has two 8/8-pane sash windows in plain reveals to the left and right, with a blind window in the centre. The second floor mirrors this, with two 4/4-pane sash windows and a blind window centrally. The ground floor features two similar 8/8-pane sash windows with stone sills, with a 20th-century boarded door set within a moulded stone architrave, incorporating panelled pilaster strips with rosettes and a pulvinated frieze and pediment. A shallow plinth is present, along with cill bands to the first and second floors, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and a coped parapet.

The left side of the building has scattered windows, mostly 20th century additions, though some original 18th and 19th-century glazing bar casements and fixed lights remain. An attached rubble garden wall, approximately 3 metres high, slopes down to about 1.5 metres. It incorporates an ashlar gate pier with two pointed openings, similar to those found in the wall attached to No.21 Querns Lane. These openings are now blocked, with a 20th-century door in a plain reveal and attached 20th-century gates.

The interior was not inspected, but is noted to contain early 19th-century panelled shutters to the ground floor front rooms on the left and right, and a late 19th-century fireplace and dado panelling to the front room on the right.
