Description
The Old Workhouse Studio is a building constructed from Old Red Sandstone rubble, featuring Bath limestone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It is designed in the Tudor Collegiate style and resembles the front range of a quadrangular building. The structure has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical five-bay layout. The first, third, and fifth bays are set forward and gabled, with the central bay being significantly wider than the outer ones.
The outer bays each have a two-light mullion-and-transom window on the ground floor, a two-light window above, and a single-light window in the gable, all featuring hollow chamfers. The gables are adorned with kneelers topped with pendant balls and copings. The recessed bays have panelled double gates with four-centred heads that serve as entries to the yards at the rear. These gates appear to be recent restorations, as the arches were reported as blocked in 2000. Above the gates, there is a plain two-light window positioned closer to the centre bay on either side.
The wider central bay features a canted three-faced ground floor with a three-light mullion-and-transom window flanked by two-light windows. This area likely served as the Beadle's office for monitoring activity. Above the ground floor, the bay transitions to a rectangular shape with corners supported by elaborate roll corbels. The first floor has a three-light window, and the gable above contains a single-light window, with the gable also featuring kneelers with pendant balls, copings, and a finial. The roof is plain and steeply pitched, with all chimney stacks removed. The rear elevation has not been inspected, and the interior was not examined during the resurvey.
