Description

Clachanmore School is a former schoolhouse built in the later 19th century. It is a single-storey, six-bay structure with an adjoining two-storey schoolhouse. The building is constructed from whinstone with sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring a base course and crowstepped gables.

On the southeast elevation, there is a central wallhead chimney and a blank plaque. Flanking this are two-light windows, and to the right, there is an advanced gabled porch with a shouldered opening and a timber door. A three-light window is located in the gable to the outer right, along with a trefoil-headed louvred arch at the gablehead. The outer left features a bipartite window in a gabled bay, with another shouldered opening leading to a timber door and a single window at the gablehead.

The northeast side elevation has two bays with a central wallhead chimney and single windows on either side. The southwest side elevation is three bays wide, with a near-central gabled bay, single windows on both the ground and first floors, a lean-to to the left, and a porch to the right. There is a single window and a timber and glass door at the re-entrant angle, along with a single window on the first floor and additional single windows at both ground and first floors to the outer right.

The windows are timber, with 3, 4, and 6 panes, and the school windows are pointed. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring ridge and wallhead coped chimneys and circular cans.

Inside, the school building has a timber floor, boarded panelling, and a decorative ceiling.

The property also includes boundary walls, gatepiers, gates, and outhouses. There is a single-storey, three-bay outhouse to the northeast of the site, along with smaller outhouses to the southwest. The boundary walls are made of coped rubble, with iron gatepiers and two-leaf gates at the schoolhouse entrance, and a single iron gate located to the northeast of the site.
