Convent of the Sacred Heart

Attached eight-bay single-storey over basement convent related building, built c.1930, having substantial red brick chimneystack to side (west). Recent corridor block to rear (south) linking to convent. Pitched slate roof with apex monitor, timber-clad eaves and uPVC rainwater goods. English bond red brick octagonal-plan chimneystack springing from basement level having rendered coping and oversailing eaves. Rendered walls throughout. Camber-headed window openings with render sills throughout, with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with occasional uPVC casements. Square-headed door openings with uPVC and timber battened doors.

An interesting building which has retained much of its historic fabric and features intact. The towering chimneystack is particularly eye-catching. The apex glazing and large camber-headed window openings would have allowed for maximum natural light. It is an integral part of a large complex of educational and religious buildings.
