Description
The Former National School is a symmetrical building designed in the early Victorian Tudor style, constructed from local brown shaley masonry with sandstone door and window dressings. It features a slate roof with a tile ridge. The front has a large central gable flanked by smaller porch gables, with a chimney shaft set back over the main gable and a smaller truncated shaft, which may have been a former bell turret, positioned at the apex.
In the main front gable, there is a stone mullion and transom window of a stepped design, featuring four latticed lights, although only two lights are present above the transom. The window is adorned with Gothic-arch moulding. The front flanking gables contain plain boarded doors set in Tudor arches. Above these doors are the words 'girls' and 'boys', while the central window displays the date 1858, all presented in roundels. The building has single-light latticed windows on either side. Each end elevation includes a mullion and transom window similar to the central window at the front, with a roundel ventilator in the gable apex above.
At the rear, there are three mullion and transom timber windows and a walled-up rear doorway that features a timber overlight. Additionally, there is a modern rooflight.
