Description
7-8 Kerrycroy Village is an early 19th-century, symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay building designed in the Tudor Gothic style. Originally a former inn, it was converted into a school in the late 19th century and later subdivided into two flats. The building features whitewashed harl with raised, painted strip quoins and a raised, painted eaves course. It has hoodmoulds over bipartite openings, stone mullions, and projecting cills.
At the rear, there are lean-to additions that provide entrances for the lower and upper flats. The east (front) elevation has bipartite windows on both floors across all three bays. The west (rear) elevation includes a full-height lean-to addition at the center, with flanking single-storey lean-to additions at the ground level and single windows aligned at the first floor.
The building predominantly has six-pane timber sash and case glazing, a red clay tile roof with decorative ridge detailing, raised stone skews, and replacement rainwater goods. It has coped apex stacks at both the north and south ends, with circular terracotta cans.
The interiors were not seen in 1996. The outbuilding on the east (front) elevation has a large opening at the center, a two-leaf boarded timber garage opening to the outer left, a boarded timber single door in the penultimate bay to the outer right, and a single window in the outer right bay. It features a graded grey slate roof and a red brick apex stack to the north, although the cans are missing.
The boundary walls consist of flanking rubble-coped harl-pointed random rubble walls with timber pedestrian entrance gates. There is also a random rubble wall dividing the boundary at the rear.
