Description
Detached gable-fronted three-bay single-storey school, built c.1950, now vacant. Pitched asphalt roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Corrugated-iron walls.

Rendered walls to front and sides of plot with wrought-iron gate.
Appraisal
This structure was strategically positioned for use by the local rural population and its educational and social importance is highlighted both by its commanding views of the surrounding landscape and by the large plot of land on which it is sited. The use of corrugated-iron as wall cladding adds texture and interest to a building of modest dimensions and materials.
