Description
Built of yellow brick with Bath limestone dressings on grey stone plinth, red tiled roof with tiled cresting; yellow brick chimneys, cast-iron rainwater goods. In a Tudor style with some Jacobean details. Generally single-storey with large, high classrooms in the Victorian manner, only the later Science Block at the rear is 2-storeys. Horned small pane sash glazing set in mullion-and-transom windows. Long front faces north to street. From left, projecting gabled block with Bath limestone banding and 5-light window; then, set back, two 2-light windows with gablets over; then gabled block with 4-light window which links via block with single-light window and two 2-light windows to further gabled block with gabled porch in angle; arched doorway. Gabled block has 5-light window. Five window west return with shallow buttresses. East return has arched doorway between 2 gablets. Similar treatment to rear with, at right angles, 2-storey, 6-window block with hipped tiled roof. This is a later addition, probably inter-war, as it does not appear in early C20 photographs. Rear elevation not inspected.
Interior not inspected at resurvey but is known to retain good original character including classrooms with part-glazed partitions flanking internal corridors, fine woodwork fittings and open timber roofs.
