Description

A house of 3 symmetrical bays and 3 storeys with basement, of painted and scribed roughcast walls, slate roof on moulded and corbelled eaves, and with roughcast end stacks. The central doorway has a panelled door with inserted glazing to the panels. The outer bays have 2-storey bay windows on iron brackets, articulated by thin attached colonnettes, blank panels between storeys and hipped roofs with iron cresting. In the lower storey the windows have leaded lights with coloured glass above the transoms and sash windows to the sides, while in the middle storey are cross windows incorporating casements. The central bay has a 4-pane sash window to the middle storey, which also has moulded bands below the sill and lintel level. In the upper storey each bay has a 4-pane sash window under a moulded cornice on corbels, with string course above. The basement, probably the fabric of the earlier school, has small-pane sash windows flanking a central doorway.

The forecourt has iron railings on a dwarf wall, with decorative finials and pyramid finials to the main stanchions. Double entrance gates and a basement gate to the R have similar detail.

The rear has a lower wing with hipped roof.

Not inspected.
