A one storeyed rubble sandstone range of 2 builds under a continuous roof of later clay plain tiles, gabled end to left, hipped to right. The 1810 work lies to the right of a shallow front wing which, with the range to the left belongs to the late 19th century. The rear wing includes the house and dates from the earlier period. The old school: 5-window symmetrical range to front, 3 central, 3-light pointed windows with moulded timber transoms and mullions (with 12:14:12 panes). 1-light, 14-pane pointed windows to each side. All timber, probably late 19th century. Dressed window surrounds in Killerton stone contrast nicely with red rubble. Over the central window, the eaves line is broken by an inscription panel with dressed trap surround, separately gabled, which bears the legend: 'JUBILEE SCHOOL. BUILT IN THE 50TH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE III A.D. 1810 BY SIR THOMAS DYKE ACLAND, BT. THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM!'
