Balteagh Primary School, Drumsurn Road, Ardmore, Limavady, Co Londonderry, BT49 OPD

Balteagh Primary School is a single-storey classroom block constructed in the 1930s, replacing an earlier school building located nearby. Designed by C.S. Agnew of the Northern Ireland Ministry of Finance, it is a well-considered example of 1930s school architecture and remains largely unaltered from its original design.

The building is characterised by a steeply pitched tile roof over the classroom block, with lower, flat-roofed accommodation projecting to the front. This front accommodation runs along only one side, notably cutting short on the south-east to allow for large windows in the classrooms. The exterior is finished in painted harling render with metal windows, and displays a 1930s sub-Art Deco style. The main elevation possesses a symmetrical design, centred around a double entrance door approached by two circular concrete steps.

A projecting block extends one metre from the facade at each end, both featuring a centrally placed casement window. The north-west projection extends along the side of the classroom block, while the south-east projection terminates to allow for larger windows to the classrooms. A chimney flue rises centrally up the gable of the classrooms behind the front block, terminating in a concrete-coped chimney. The south-east elevation has wide metal windows along most of its facade, while the rear gable is blank. The wall corbels out to the eaves of the roof. The north-west elevation shows a regular rhythm of vertical windows to the flat-roofed accommodation, and four high-level windows illuminate the classrooms above.

Attached to the rear are a flat-roofed shelter and a similarly detailed toilet block, neither of which are physically connected to the main school building. The school operated as a primary school until the early 1980s. It is now out of use and recorded as derelict.
