The northern site which benefits from direct frontage onto Front Street, is home to the original 1907 school. This is a red brick building with a slate covered timber framed pitched roof. The property benefits from delightful timber framed sash windows throughout. The southern site has a number of newer low level buildings with the site suitable for clearance and redevelopment.
