Description
Braeside, located in Greenbank on Yell, is a former school and school-house built around 1827, with an additional mid-19th century section. The building is arranged in a terrace, featuring a principal elevation facing east. The original structure includes a single storey and attic, comprising a 3-bay teacher's house and a school-room to the north, while the later addition to the south also consists of a single storey and attic with 3 bays. The walls are harled, with painted margins around the windows.
The 1827 building has an asymmetrical east elevation, featuring a central door with a plate glass fanlight and windows in the flanking bays, the left one being smaller. There is a gabled concrete porch on the outer left side. The north gable has a 2-bay design with windows located at the ground and attic levels, but only in the right bay.
The mid-19th century addition has a near-symmetrical east elevation, which includes a vertically-boarded timber door and a cat-slide roof over the porch in the central bay. The outer bays contain ground floor windows, and there are dormers with harled gabled dormerheads that break the eaves in the outer bays.
Both sections feature timber sash and case glazing, with 12 and 6-pane windows on the ground floor and attic of the earlier building, and 4-pane windows on the later addition. The earlier building has a purple-grey slate roof, complete with rooflights on the southern half of the attic, while the later building has a red fishscale tile roof. The north gable of the earlier building has a stugged sandstone gablehead stack and skew-copes, a harled ridge stack, and the later building has gablehead stacks, all of which are coped and have circular cans.
Additionally, there are remains of a random rubble wall adjacent to the north gable.
