Description
The building comprises a former school and a two-story schoolhouse, constructed circa 1880. They are arranged in an H-plan, with the main facade facing west. The structure is built of stugged and squared rubble with ashlar dressings. The school building (to the north) features large mullioned and transomed gable windows, and an adjoining small sheltered porch on the north side. The schoolhouse has mostly bipartite windows, and a lean-to porch situated in the re-entrant angle, containing a pointed-headed west-facing doorway. The roof has shaped skews with gabletted skewputts, and coped axial stacks. It is covered by slate roofing. The site is set back behind a low boundary wall constructed of coped ashlar.
