Description
Detached four-bay single-storey national school, dated 1914, on a T-shaped plan retaining original fenestration with two-bay single-storey gabled projecting lower shared porch to centre. Now disused. Pitched slate roof on a T-shaped plan with red clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, cut-stone coping to gables, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber corbels. Unpainted rendered walls with cut-limestone corbels supporting gables, and cut-stone date stone/plaque. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and 6/9 timber sash windows. Square-headed door openings with tongue-and-groove timber panelled doors. Set back from road in own grounds with random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter having lime mortar, red brick quoins to ends, cut-stone coping, and rubble stone piers with wrought iron gate.
Appraisal
A well-composed modest-scale school, built to a standard design prepared by the Board of Works on behalf of the Board of Education, and which conforms to social morals of the period in the arrangement of a classroom block accessed by a shared porch having separate entrances for male and female pupils. Although now apparently disused, the school retains the original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials, which enhance the character of the composition.
