School in Beagh

Detached five-bay single-storey former school house, built c. 1810. Hipped slate roof having red brick chimneystack, terracotta ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rooflight to north (rear) elevation. Rubble stone walls with roughly dressed stone quoins and limestone plinth course. Segmental-arched openings to south (front) elevation having red brick voussoirs, limestone sills and bipartite timber sliding sash windows to front and timber casement windows to rear. Square-headed opening to west elevation having red brick voussoirs and half-glazed timber battened door. Square-headed opening to rear with half-glazed timber panelled door. Recent metal door to east elevation. Roughcast rendered boundary wall with two pairs of circular-profile roughcast rendered piers having render caps to south west of site. Single-leaf gate.

Occupying a prominent corner site, this modest school house makes a notable feature on the landscape. It retains much of its original form and materials, including the rubble stone construction and openings articulated by red brick surrounds. The retention of the timber windows is a notable feature.
