Crookedholm School, Grougar Road, Crookedholm

Crookedholm School, located on Grougar Road in Crookedholm, was built in 1875. It is a single-storey school building with a gabled roof and an integral schoolhouse on the right, featuring Gothic and Baronial architectural details. The exterior is characterized by stone mullioned and transomed windows, shouldered and stop-chamfered openings, a base course made of squared and snecked stugged yellow sandstone, and a stringcourse that is present only on the schoolhouse. The eaves are overhanging and bracketed.

On the west elevation, which is the principal facade, there is a recessed entrance range with a door located to the centre right, framed by a roll-moulded surround. To the right of the door is a tripartite window, and to the left is another tripartite window flanked by bipartite windows. There is a gabled bay to the left that contains a tripartite window and a blocked oculus within a stopped pointed arch. The schoolhouse features a pentice-roofed canted bay on the ground left, a bipartite window above the gabled bay, and a pentice-roofed entrance with a gargoyle in the reentrant angle to the right.

The east elevation, or rear, has four advanced irregular gabled bays, with the central right bay being a later addition that includes a tall square brick chimney. The north elevation features a gabled bay to the centre right with a tripartite window and a blocked oculus within a stopped pointed arch, along with three bays to the left and a door at the centre. The south elevation has three bipartite windows on the left gable and a single-storey two-bay block to the right.

Some of the original timber sash and case plate glass windows remain, although some have been replaced with uPVC glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has cast-iron rainwater goods with decorative hoppers. The interior was partially seen in 2004 and has been modernized.
