Churcham County Primary School And Attached House

Churcham County Primary School and the attached house were built around 1856. The building features Flemish bond red brick with yellow dressings and some blue bricks, along with stone windows for the school and stone offsets. The roof is tiled in colored bands. The house is designed in an 'L' shape, two stories high with the upper half in the roof, and has three windows across its front. It is built against a single-storey 'T' plan school, with porches acting as serifs to the cross piece.

The elevation facing the road has the house on the left, which includes a brick plinth and a central door with a weather-boarded, gabled porch. Each side has three-light timber mullioned windows with cast-iron decorative casements, set under low pointed arches with stone keystones and splayed reveals. Above, there are similar two-light windows at the ends, partly within low gables, featuring projecting stepped yellow bricks at the verge. In the center, three conjoined diamonds made of projecting blue brick enclose yellow and red bricks, with a slight projection of a yellow brick eaves course. A gable chimney on the left has stone offsets.

To the right is the school, which is slightly lower, with the main gable projecting. It has a brick plinth and a buttress on the left towards the house and on the right towards the road. The school features a three-light window with geometric tracery, a hoodmould with large, uncarved stone stops, and an arch made of alternating blue and yellow bricks, with a blue brick St Andrew's cross in the gable. The yellow brick verge matches that of the house. On the right side, there is a low, gabled porch with a three-light flat-headed stone window, and a doorway on the right return has a chamfered stone surround with a pointed arch, leading to an original boarded door at the back of the porch. Above this is a blue brick cross in the gable.

The right return also has a projecting wing with a gable similar to the one facing the road, featuring two stone corbels near the top and a plain wall above, likely intended to carry a bellcote. The base of the chimney is located on the ridge. On either side of this wing are low gables, with a triangular dormer featuring a plain stone window on the main cross piece. There are porches extending from the ends of the main cross piece. The interior has a roof that is hidden by a late 20th-century ceiling, but the feet of the trusses are visible, rising from stone corbels.
