Schoolhouse, Mahaar School

The Mahaar School, built around 1819, consists of a former school and an adjoining schoolhouse, now combined into one dwelling. This single-storey building features an attic and has a three-bay house connected to a five-bay school, creating a long range. The exterior is made of painted rubble with painted brick dressings, including long and short quoins and margins on the schoolhouse porch and the left porch of the school.

On the south elevation, the three-bay schoolhouse is on the right, while the five-bay school is on the left. The schoolhouse has a square stone porch at the centre, adorned with a dentil course, cornice, and blocking course. There is a door on the left side and a window facing south, with additional windows in the outer bays and gabled dormer windows above them.

The school features a square stone porch in the outer left bay, also with a dentil course and blocking course, and a door facing south. There is a gabled stone porch to the right of centre, topped with a ball finial, along with a window to the right return, which has been reduced from a doorway, and a window facing south. Each remaining bay has a window.

The east elevation includes two lower gabled additions on the left and right, with the left addition featuring a window facing south and a flat-roofed porch on the east gable.

On the west elevation, there is a gable on the right, with a brick wall adjoining to the left and a sliding machinery door on the right. A later piended addition to the left has painted brick dressings, with windows on both sides and a tall off-set wallhead stack in between.

The north elevation is L-shaped due to the piended addition on the right, which has a gabled addition and a further flat-roofed addition in the re-entrant angle.

The windows are sash and case, with a variety of glazing, including 6-pane windows for the school, as well as some 2-pane and 12-pane windows. The building features red sandstone coped skews, gablehead stacks on the east and west, and a ridge between the school and the schoolhouse, all covered with grey slates and topped with octagonal cans.

A rubble boundary wall surrounds the schoolhouse to the south, featuring a pair of rubble conical-capped drum gatepiers.
