Description
The School House in Bowden, dated 1861 and possibly incorporating earlier materials, is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan former schoolhouse. It is constructed of roughly coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings.
The north elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central bay with a corniced door that has been altered to a window, flanked by windows in the outer bays and regular fenestration near the eaves on the first floor. The south elevation is the rear, but its details are obscured by a boundary wall.
The east elevation is a blank gabled wall with a prominent gablehead stack and a high boundary wall on the outer left. The west elevation mirrors the east but includes a gate at the outer right next to the boundary wall.
The windows are timber sash and case with 4- and 12-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with a full set of cans, some of which are polygonal. The skews are also ashlar-coped.
The boundary walls are high and constructed of rubble, with the western wall featuring a semicircular coping.
