Full description
SOUTH-WEST, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV113206.
School and attached headmaster's house.1871. Brick with beerstone and sandstone dressing; gabled-end and half-hipped tiled roofs. School with main range and rear wing, the headmaster's house forming a cross wing at the south-east end of the main range. The latter is of 2 storeys; the school itself is of a tall single storey open hall type, standing only a little lower than the house. Gable end dominated by a 4-light window with an arch with alternating red and white stone voussoirs. Rear wing with lancets and partially dismantled lateral stack with off-sets. The master's house, south-west gable end facing the street, half-hipped which covers a side entrance and the stairwell, the latter lit at the gable end by a 2-light pointed window; 2 light window to 1st floor, 3-light window to ground floor, all 3 windows asymmetrically placed. Right-hand side elevation of house with 2 external lateral stacks, corbelled out at 1st floor level, and 2-light casement windows that break the eaves line. The school is dramatically situated on a prominent corner site; it is a fine, markedly asymmetrical design and remains an impressive building despite the partial dismantling of the tall tudor-style stacks, and the addition of a late c20 single storey flat-roofed brick extension that masks the original principal (south-west) front (doe).
