Description
The former Carnarvon Grammar and Collegiate School is a Tudor-Gothic style building, constructed as a single storey with a basement. The walls are made of rubble stone with freestone dressings, and many of the openings have been blocked with brick. The steep roof, covered with graded slates, rests on a plain corbel table and features apex ball finials on the gables, supported by moulded kneelers. Each slope of the roof includes two raked vents with louvres positioned below the ridge. At the rear, there is a tall coursed stone chimney stack rising from the eaves.
The main entrance is located on the north side, facing Love Lane. To the right of the entrance, there is a dressed stone porch with a stepped gable, also supported by moulded kneelers and topped with an apex ball finial. The porch roof is missing, and it features a Tudor arch that leads to a blocked doorway. To the left of the porch, there are two narrow loop windows. The left gable end, which faces the road, has a stepped three-light mullioned and transomed window, now infilled with slate, and a former wooden notice board above the center light. The rear of the building has transomed windows on both the right and left sides, with the basement constructed from large coursed stone blocks. The right gable end, which overlooks the Seiont, is roughcast over brick and has a stepped mullioned and transomed window similar to the left gable end, but retains lozenge and hexagon-pattern iron glazing bars above the transom. The basement features a doorway on the left and a segmental-headed window on the right.
At the entrance to the porch, facing Love Lane, there is an iron gate that is hinged on a single monolithic octagonal stone pier with a moulded cap. This pier is accompanied by simple railings on an L-plan dwarf wall to the right. Access to the basement is provided by quarter-turn stone steps with simple iron railings.
