Snecked limestone walls with snecked limestone strip quoins and inscribed limestone plaque to front (south) elevation. Square-headed openings having brick block-and-start surrounds, limestone sills and replacement timber casement windows. Red brick surround to entrance with red brick bracketed entablature over camber-headed opening with glazed overlight over timber battened door. Gable-fronted former national school to east having lean-to extension to front (south) elevation. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack. Rubble limestone walls having inscribed limestone plaque. Oculus to front elevation with render surround and fixed window. Pair of ashlar limestone piers to east and west with carved caps and single-leaf cast-iron gate. Rubble limestone boundary walls to site.

The steep roofs and snecked stone walls of this former model school house are typical features of its era. It retains original features including the brick window surrounds, brick eaves courses and decorative brick door surround. Situated at the end of a laneway, the site retains a national school to the east, forming a small scale educational complex of great social and historic import to the area.
