Youghalarra National School

Detached T-plan gable-fronted three-bay single-storey school, built 1931, with flat-roofed single-storey extension to rear. Pitched slate roofs with brick chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and cast-iron roof vent. Rendered walls with plaque to front gable. Square-headed openings with four-over-four and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to front, six-over-nine pane to gables, blocked to rear, with painted sills. Timber battened doors. Rubble stone walls with metal gates to site boundary.

This notable building is simple in form and plainly finished, with its timber sash windows and slate roofs enhancing its form and giving a patina of age. It makes an interesting group with the modern school building built to the north in the 1970s. The T-plan affords a number of interesting views of the building.
