Description
The Privett Centre is a former church school and master's house built in 1867, designed in a Gothic style. The building features walls made of flint and knapped flint with brick dressings. It has triangular-shaped quoins, bands at the levels of the upper and lower cills, imposts of lower arches, cambered arches, and a plinth. A large pointed arch above a relieving arch displays herring filling in the spandrel, and there are some stepped buttresses. The steep tile roof includes a catslide at the rear of the house, a front gable with a half-dormer, and a rear gabled dormer, all adorned with richly ornamented bargeboards.
This two-storey house is connected to a hall school at right angles, with a lower entrance lobby in the gap between them. Above the door to the lobby is a gable featuring a plaque dated 1867. The house has leaded casements, while the school has plain wood casements. The house also includes a gabled porch with an enriched bargeboard and elaborate framework in the gable, supported by turned balusters on a stone base wall, with a boarded door. There are 20th-century flat-roofed extensions at the rear with brick walls.
