Description
Madras Voluntary Aided School is a single-storey school built in the cottage orne style, featuring roughcast walls painted cream, wide small-pane windows, and a steep hipped thatch roof with wide boarded eaves. The symmetrical front of the building includes a central lower half-hipped porch, which has a 2-light small-pane window at the front. Above the window is a stone tablet with raised letters that reads: 'Madras School founded by George 2nd Lord Kenyon 1811'. The porch has replacement boarded doors on its side walls. On each side of the porch, there are a 4-light window and a 6-light window. At the rear, the right side has a later small-pane window positioned above the eaves under a gable. The right side also features a smaller similar window that has been replaced in an earlier opening, along with a gable. In the center of the rear, there is another gable, but its opening is obscured by an early 20th-century wing, which is roughcast painted cream, has a tile roof, and a brick stack. The openings in this wing have all been altered. Behind it, there is a 1960s extension made of pale brick with a flat roof, which is mostly covered by a later red-brick extension built in 1999 that is less sympathetic in design.
The interior is now divided into two rooms, but it was probably originally a single room. Each side of the interior features two late 19th-century king-post trusses with raking struts, which are bolted rather than pegged, and are boxed on the left side. The underside of the roof is boarded.
