Pitched tiled roof with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Smooth rendered plinth course and pebbledashed walls.

Appraisal
Although altered over time, this modest sschool house still retains some of its original character. Its façade is enlivened by its tooled stone door surround and remaining timber sash window. The low stature and long profile of the building give it a unique identity in an area where two-storied structures are commonplace.
