Description
This building comprises a church hall and an attached house, constructed in the Tudor Gothic style. The buildings were built from snecked blue lias stone with limestone ashlar dressings, coped gables and slate roofs. They present picturesque, asymmetric elevations; the single-storey, L-shaped church school faces Church Street, while the one-and-a-half-storey, L-shaped house faces High Street.
The High Street elevation features a stone ridge stack, formerly with octagonal shafts, and the north gable of Church Street has a single octagonal-shafted chimney. The buildings have a raised plinth, ashlar quoins, and ashlar flush mullion windows with small-paned metal framed glazing, except for the large schoolroom window, which has leaded lights.
The Church Street elevation features a prominent, projecting central gable with a four-light mullion window and two transoms; the upper lights have Tudor arched heads and a hoodmould. Above this is a blank shield plaque within a recessed square frame. To either side of the gable is a ledged door with ornate hinges set in an ashlar segmental-pointed doorcase. The roof extends down over the door on the left, while the door on the right is beneath a bell-tower, the walling running across flush. A short diagonal buttress is located to the left, and a large, two-stage diagonal buttress to the right. The tower has narrow ashlar loops to the ground floor return and front, chamfered ashlar coping (positioned well below the roof ridge) then a recessed square ashlar bell-stage with two plain louvred openings to each side and a steep slate pyramid roof. A north wing has a five-light mullion and transom window without a hoodmould but with Tudor-arched upper window heads. A lower wing (part of the teacher's house) runs to the right, displaying a single, ground-floor light, Tudor-arched with small-paned metal glazing.
The gable end to High Street has a similar arrangement of a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor, both without hoodmoulds. A small loop is visible in the gable. The main front of the attached house is set back to the right and features two windows; a segmental-pointed doorway is on the left, and a two-light window is on the right. The first floor has a small single light above the door and a two-light window to the right, breaking the eaves under a coped small gable.
The house garden is enclosed by a low rubble wall.
