Manselton School

Manselton School is a 19th-century building designed in an open U-plan form, featuring a symmetrical south front with advanced entrance and stair-tower wings. The structure is three storeys high with attics and consists of eight bays in the center. It is constructed from snecked rubble with bullnosed quoins that have incised angles, complemented by freestone dressings and tiled roofs.

The central section is recessed, flanked by slightly advanced outer bays that are gabled and topped with pediments. The upper floor features a Venetian window treatment, with the keystone extended to act as a gable pilaster, and segmental-headed dormers. There is a pedimented and panelled band above the first-floor architraves, adorned with scrolled aprons, while the ground floor windows are plain. Most windows are cross-windows with small panes and lower sashes. The wings have pedimented doorcases set at splayed angles, and the polygonal stair turrets are topped with pyramidal roofs and miniature cupolas with finials. The top floor has cornice bands and oculi, while the second-floor windows are treated with an aedicule design.

The outer porches feature massive stone doorcases with pedimented tops supported by scrolled brackets. The splayed five-storey angles have broken pediments and polygonal finials that rise from the third-floor scrolled pediments. The side elevations are twin gabled, with advanced gabled bays on the outer sides of the simpler north front.

Additionally, there is a small attached lodge block on Cecil Street that is styled similarly. It has a hipped tiled roof with a domed cupola, segmental-headed dormers, and small-pane tripartite sashes. A basement entrance is located beneath a tablet that reads "Manselton School Board SSB."
