Description

Corse Church of England School is a former school and school house, now functioning as a school, built in 1871 by Fulljames. The building is constructed from coursed, squared blue lias stone with ashlar dressings and features blue brick offsets to the buttresses. It has a tiled roof and an 'L'-shaped plan, with the school being a single storey and the house having one and a half storeys.

The facade facing the road includes a four-bay hall on the left, with square-set buttresses at both the ends and the center. There are trefoil-headed twin-lancets on each side of the center and single lancets at the ends. A projecting stone eaves course runs along the top, leading to parapet gables. The former bellcote, which has been reset on the left apex, features a three-layer top with an iron finial, while the right apex has the base of a chimney. Two triangular dormers are positioned high up, adorned with a band of fishscale tiles, and alternate ridge tiles are crested.

To the right, there is a lower extension with a single lancet and a triangular buttress. This extension has a parapet gable with a cross-gablet apex, matching the ridge and eaves of the hall. The left return shows the hall gable on the right, which includes a large three-light mullioned window with a traceried top, hoodmould, and voussoirs above. On the left, there is a low connection roofed at right angles to the hall, featuring a boarded door that is accessed by one stone step, with a trefoil head and hoodmould.

The former house, which is squat and has an 'L'-shaped plan, has a gable on the right return and a short side wall with a boarded, pointed door. The left end projects with a half-hipped design and includes a three-light mullioned window with a flat head and a relieving arch over the ground floor, while a similar window without a relieving arch is located above. The left return features a wide chimney-breast, although the top has been removed.

Internally, the feet of arched-braced trusses on corbels can be seen below an inserted ceiling in the hall, and there is a scissor-braced truss in the room beyond. The building forms a group with the nearby Chartist cottages.
