Peregrine House, St Audrie'S School

Peregrine House at St. Audrie's School is a school building constructed between 1856 and 1857, designed by architect John Norton for Sir Alexander Acland-Hood. The building is made of random rubble Sampford Brett red sandstone with Bath stone dressings. It features quoins, scalloped tiles, decorative ridge tiles, overhanging eaves, sprockets, and coped verges. The south front has an ashlar double stack chimney on the left and a large external stepped stack with a moulded cap on the right. The building has a T-plan with the entrance on the west front and a lower gabled south front, designed in the Gothic style.

The entrance front includes two gabled dormers with paired trefoil-headed openings, where the original mullions have been replaced with 20th-century casements. To the left of the central entrance is a long narrow stair light, and to the right is a two-light aulic window with a transom. The doorway has a four-centred arch head and features a 19th-century plank door with decorative hinges and a latch. It is sheltered by a gabled bell-cast porch adorned with scalloped tiles and decorative ridge tiles, some of which are missing. The porch has a cusped bargeboard supported by a wooden trefoil-headed arcade and a dwarf wall made of random rubble with chamfered quoins and a plinth.

On the right return, the gabled three-bay south front displays the Acland-Hood coat of arms set into the chimney breast. It also features a gabled bell-cote pierced with two trefoiled-headed arches and a quatrefoil opening above, located on the east gable end. Originally built as the village school, it is now part of St. Audries School.
