Description
The building is a former primary school located on Neilston Road in Uplawmoor, dated 1877. It is a tall single-storey structure with a rectangular plan, featuring eight bays and pitch-roofed stone porches adorned with pierced bargeboarding. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with ashlar dressings and includes a raised base course. The windows are basket-arched, and the doors are hoodmoulded and pointed-arch, with relieving arches above. Stone transoms and mullions are present, along with chamfered reveals.
On the southeast elevation, the design is symmetrical, with porches that break the eaves in the penultimate bays. Each porch has squat, two-stage battered buttresses flanking a deep-set two-leaf boarded timber door and a multi-pane roundel, which is accompanied by carved rosettes on the tympanum. The bargeboarding on the left porch features a trefoil detail, while that on the right is broken. There are four transomed windows in the centre and additional similar windows in the outer bays.
The northeast and southwest elevations each have a large transomed bipartite window in the centre, with pointed relieving arches above. The northwest (rear) elevation features a transomed bipartite window flanked by single transomed windows in the bays to the right of centre. To the left, there is a similar arrangement, but the outer left bay includes a small lean-to projection with a tiny window on the return to the left.
The windows are timber sash and case, with a small 8-pane glazing pattern over a 6-pane lower section. The roof is covered with grey slates and has pierced terracotta ridge tiles, along with circular paired coped ashlar ridge stacks on a battered base. The roof has a jerkinhead design, with overhanging eaves and decorative bargeboarding.
Inside, there is a single school room with a small office that has been altered to serve as a kitchen.
The boundary walls are made of stepped saddleback-coped ashlar, with low square-section gatepiers.
