Description
The building is a school and attached schoolhouse, constructed between 1853 and 1854 by William Butterfield. It is made of dressed sandstone with sandstone ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a slate roof. The structure is L-shaped, with the former schoolhouse forming a wing at the rear of the school.
The school itself is a single-storey building featuring a two-window front and a lower outbuilding to the right. The pointed and quoined entrance in the outbuilding has double board doors. To the left, there are two windows, each with three stepped lights. The main roof is steeply pitched, with a half-hipped pent roof over the outbuilding. The right gable wall has a wall above a lean-to that contains a cinquefoil light set in a chamfered pointed surround, with the Dawnay arms displayed in the gable end above. The left gable wall features a tall two-light window beneath a pointed hood-mould. At the rear, there are two cross gables, each with two-light windows. A ridge stack with steep offsets is located on the right cross gable. All windows are adorned with geometric tracery, chamfered sills, and quoined surrounds.
The former schoolhouse is a single-storey, three-bay range. It has a board door to the left in a quoined surround with a pointed chamfered head, and a three-light window to the right featuring tall large-pane sashes beneath a segmental arch. There is a single sash window at the end right. The roof is steeply pitched and half-hipped to the right, with two ridge stacks that have steep offsets.
