Notes School and schoolmaster's house, now 2 houses. Dated 1864. Coursed, squared Devonian limestone rubble with large dressed quoins of the same material. Slated roofs. Large red-brick chimney on centre of ridge at the house; top brick courses project to form a cap; 5 round pots. Similar chimney on front wall of school, adjoining the house. Plan: Double-fronted schoolmaster's house to left. L-shaped school to right, abutting the house; its right gable fronts Brixham road. Exterior: Large entrance-porch in the angle of the L. 1 storey; with garret on the house. Tudor-style.

Main feature of the school is a large gabled wing to left with 2 tall chamfered windows; late C20 small-paned wood glazing, evidently re-designed when an upper floor was inserted. In the gable a stone plaque with monogram (probably of Lord Churston) having coronet over and date 1864.
