Three-bay single-storey block to east with gable-fronted porch and timber veranda to front (south) elevation, single-bay single-storey extension and two-bay single-storey lean-to to rear (north) elevation. Pitched slate roofs with brick and rendered chimneystacks, metal vent to east block and cast-iron rainwater goods. Timber bargeboards to gables having finials. Camber-headed openings to west block extension, first floor with two-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills throughout. Camber-headed tripartite opening to box bay having two-over-one pane timber sliding windows. Oculus to west block apex with fixed window. Round-headed opening to first floor having replacement timber casement window. Camber-headed openings to east block with timber casement windows. Square-headed opening to porch, east block having timber casement windows. Square-headed opening to east elevation, east block with timber casement windows. Square-headed opening to east lean-to having half-glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed openings to porch with timber battened double-leaf doors. Pair of square-profile rendered piers to south with replacement single-leaf metal gate.
This well proportioned modest scale former school retains most of the original form to the original block. The school is of particular significance in the locality as one of the earliest surviving purpose-built educational facilities in Kilmallock. The school forms a pleasing landmark in the local area.
