One storey and attic, various 2 or 3-light casements with horizontal bars in chamfered mullions; to street is one storey hexagonal bay with hipped stone capping. Buttressed porch in internal angle, pointed arch containing plank door with strap hinges. On return wall, left commemorative panel recording this as Church School built and endowed by John Dent, opened 1868. Also, left of this panel a 'nodding ogee' tabernacle on oriel bracket with figure of Christ, and inscription 'Suffer the little children to come unto me'.
