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

Tall single storey classroom block with steeply pitched tile roof apparently flanked by lower flat roofed accommodation which sits out to the front of the building. On closer inspection the accommodation runs along only one side as that to the south east has been cut short to allow large windows to the classrooms. The building is finished in painted harling render, with metal windows and is designed in a 1930s sub-Art Deco style. The main elevation is symmetrical about a central double entrance door which is two circular concrete steps above the concrete playground. Part of the flat roofed accommodation, its plain surround breaks the line of the parapet and projects slightly beyond the flanking wall. Two tall casements flank the door. Two blocks project one metre from the facade at each end and have a similar centrally placed casement. That to the north west extends along the side of the classroom block, that to the south east as described above stops short. The gable of the classrooms behind the front block is modelled by a chimney flue rising up its centre line terminating in a chimney with concrete coping. The south east elevation has wide metal windows to the classrooms along most of the facade. To the rear a flat roofed shelter extends to a similarly detailed toilet block at the end of the site. Neither of these buildings are physically connected to the school. The rear gable is blank. The wall corbels out to the eaves of the roof. The north west elevation has a regular rhythm of vertical windows to the flat roofed accommodation abutting the classrooms. Four high level windows light the classrooms above the flat roof.
