Description
The building is a school and attached school house, constructed around 1851 by C.W. Burleigh, with possible contributions from Butterfield. It is made of coursed rough-faced stone with dressed details and features blue machine tile roofs. The design is Gothic with an asymmetric plan consisting of two butted inverted 'T' shapes, with the school side being short and broad. There are side and end stacks.
The school has a tall gabled single-storey frontage that is well set back, with a return adjoining the house on the right, which features an entrance under a catslide roof. To the left, there is an outshut, and to the right, an angle buttress. The gable has two pairs of trefoil-headed lights with a trefoil in the apex above, and there are stepped slit vents that follow the pitch line of the outshut. The pair of stacks on the side elevation is reminiscent of Butterfield's style, and there is a further trefoil light at the rear.
The school house is a single-storey building with an attic and a two-window frontage. It has a gabled projection to the left that balances the school, along with a low entrance porch in the return angle. The windows are small-pane mullioned casements, with a two-light window (one half dormer) on the first floor and a three-light window on the ground floor.
