Description
Lintlaw School, dated 1860 with later additions and alterations, is a single-storey building with an attic, designed in a Tudor style. It has a rectangular plan and features a gabled projection at the front, forming an L-shape. The exterior is constructed from harl-pointed, squared and snecked, tooled cream sandstone rubble, with sandstone ashlar dressings. Notable features include stugged quoins, stugged long and short surrounds to chamfered openings, and painted timber mullions in bipartite and tripartite openings, along with chamfered cills. There is a separate single-storey ancillary structure to the north.
On the east elevation, the main range has a stepped wallhead stack that breaks the eaves, offset to the left of centre. To the outer left, there is a tripartite window, and to the right, a modern two-leaf timber garage door replaces a former four-light glazing row. The gabled wing projecting to the outer right has a bipartite window centered at the ground level, with a stepped hoodmould and an architraved panel above, dated 'A.D. 1860'.
The south elevation features a gabled wing projecting to the left, which has a large tripartite window centered at the ground and a single window aligned above. The gablehead is topped with a gabletted finial. A lower wing is recessed to the outer right, with a two-leaf boarded timber door in the left bay.
The west elevation was not seen in 1998. The north elevation includes a gabled wing to the right with a large tripartite window centered at the ground and a single window aligned above, also topped with a gabletted finial. There is a single window in the left bay of the lower recessed wing.
The building features predominantly lying-pane glazing in timber sash and case and casement windows. The roofs are covered with grey slate and have sawtooth-coped stone skews, with moulded brackets beneath the gabletted skewputts. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods and a prominent wallhead stack at the front with a diagonally-set sandstone flue and a circular can.
The ancillary structure is made of harl-pointed sandstone rubble with rubble dressings, featuring a small grey slate piended roof and small rooflights. The interior was not seen in 1998. The site is partially enclosed by boundary walls with round-arched coping, made of harl-pointed rubble, which once enclosed a playground to the south.
