Description

July 1969. Grade II listed. An early-mid 19th century house, now a school. It is built from painted brick and has a low-pitched slate roof and two large Gault brick chimney stacks, three rendered stacks and dentilled brick eaves. The building is two storeys. The ground floor has a segmental-arched recessed porch, a plain doorway and two 19th century windows. On the south-east flank is a lean-to, two-storey block, and a curved conservatory in the re-entrant angle of this and the main block. The flanks of all blocks have flat parapets which curve down toward the frontages. The rear, north-east elevation towards the garden has a parapet with a string band below and recessed bays on each flank. These have curved-down parapets, a plain sash window to the first floor and a door in that to the south-east end. The main part has a central, semicircular sash window on the first floor and a plain tripartite sash window either side. The ground floor has a central early 19th century doorcase with pilasters, convex-curved hood and plain rectangular fanlight. Either side are mid 19th century canted bay windows with sash windows in each face and decorative slate hipped roofs with cast-iron crestings. This was probably the original front elevation. To the north-west is a two-storey 19th century extension with slate roof and plain sash windows linked to 20th century flat-roofed extensions. <1> See photos <2>.
