Description

Cottage orne style single-storey school of roughcast walls painted cream, wide small-pane windows and steep hipped thatch roof on wide boarded eaves. The symmetrical front has a central lower half-hipped porch. This has a 2-light small-pane window to the front, above which is a stone tablet with raised letters: 'Madras School founded by George 2nd Lord Kenyon 1811'. Replacement boarded doors are in the porch side walls. To the L and R each side has a 4-light and a 6-light window. In the rear, the R side has a later small-pane window carried above the eaves under a gable. The R-hand side has a similar but smaller window replaced in an earlier opening, and gable. In the centre is another gable, but its opening is obscured by the early C20 wing. This is roughcast painted cream, with tile roof and brick stack. Openings are all altered. Behind it is a 1960s extension in pale brick with flat roof, mostly now enveloped by a later and less sympathetic red-brick extension of 1999.

Now divided into 2 rooms, but probably originally a single room. Each side has 2 late C19 king-post trusses with raking struts, bolted rather than pegged, and boxed on the L-hand side. The underside of the roof is boarded.
