Description

Coull Primary School, built around 1900, is a high, single-storey, three-bay schoolhouse designed in a plain Jacobethan style. It features prominent conical vents on the roof ridge and is part of a walled group that surrounds a central playground. The building is constructed from squared red granite with grey granite quoins and margins, and has shouldered coping on the end gables. The windows are stone-mullioned and bipartite.

The main schoolhouse block is aligned east-west and has plain rectangular windows on the south side, a bipartite window on the west gable end, and an entrance door with a later lean-to addition on the east gable end. There are blind oculi on the gableheads. A similar three-bay block is attached to the rear of the east-west block. Large gabled windows extend beyond the eaves on the east and west side elevations, while the north gable end is blank.

Inside, the schoolhouse features dado height, boarded pine panelling, along with timber-doored and lined wall presses.

Adjacent to the main building is the teacher's house, a two-storey, two-bay, square-plan structure facing south. It has a pyramidal roof and a cat-slide roof with overhanging eaves above a timber porch on the left bay of the south elevation. The right bay is slightly advanced and gabled. The windows are boarded with sash and case frames, and the upper storey windows are set in gables that break the eaves. The house is covered in grey slates with lead flashing and has tall wallhead stacks on the east, north, and rear elevations.

To the northeast of the main building is the boiler house, a free-standing, single-storey, two-bay rectangular-plan building with a hipped roof. The playground elevation is obscured by a later lean-to rain shelter. It features a large window at the centre of the west side elevation and a gable that breaks the eaves, terminating in a boiler stack at the rear. The boiler house has 12-pane sash and case windows, grey slates, lead flashing, and coped skews.

The boundary wall surrounding the property is made of roughly pointed, squared granite rubble and topped with large coping stones.
