Description
The Old Schoolhouse in Edgerston is a later 19th-century building that incorporates earlier materials. It is a two-storey L-plan schoolhouse with a schoolroom attached at the rear, forming a T shape. The exterior is made of cream coursed sandstone.
On the east elevation, there is a piend-roofed canted entrance bay located at the center, featuring a door with a letterbox fanlight and a window above it, along with narrow side windows. To the left, there is a larger window at ground level, while the right side has windows on both floors and a blank gable on the return.
The south elevation has an advanced gabled bay at the center with a window at ground level. To the outer left, there is a tall single-storey, two-bay schoolroom with a modern door and rectangular fanlight on the left and a window on the right. A single-storey piend-roofed stone porch is set in the re-entrant angle, featuring a single window on the outer face and a door and window on the return, which obscures the blank rear wall of the schoolhouse.
The west elevation shows the advanced gabled end of the schoolroom to the left, which has a pair of tall round-headed windows and a stone finial.
On the north elevation, the tall single-storey three-bay schoolroom is slightly advanced to the right, with a bipartite window to the left featuring a timber mullion and two single windows to the right. The two-storey schoolhouse to the left has windows in both bays on both floors, with a door to the right in the re-entrant angle.
The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case, with four panes in the house and eight panes in the school. The roof is covered in grey slates, and there are round iron ventilators with conical caps and finials on the schoolroom. The apex stacks are rendered and paired with a linking pulvinated neck band.
The interior was not seen in 1992, but it appears that the schoolroom is divided into two floors.
The boundary wall is made of rubble with boulder coping along the road.
