Description
The building comprises a village hall and gatepiers, originally constructed in 1867 as a school and schoolmaster's house. It is built of brick with stone dressings, quoins, and a continuous plinth. The roof is covered in Welsh slate, with stone gable copings, moulded kneelers, and crested ridge tiles on the school section. The building has a roughly "L" shaped layout.
The single-storey, three-bay school section features windows with chamfered pointed heads, battered sills, and trefoil-headed sashes, arranged in groups of two and three. A three-stage tower and porch adjoins the left end. The middle stage of the tower has a chamfered square panel displaying a shield dated 1867, under a hoodmould, and a trefoil-headed sash window in the return. The uppermost stage has paired small square windows with stop-chamfered surrounds. A brick dogtooth band runs below the bracketed eaves of the steeply-pitched hipped roof, which is sprocketed at the eaves and has louvered gablet bell openings and decorative iron ridge cresting. An iron vane finial sits at the right end.
The former schoolmaster's house adjoins the school section to the left, at the rear of the tower, and is one-and-a-half storeys high. It has a 2-light chamfered-mullioned ground-floor window with a segmental-pointed head, and a similar first-floor window in a hipped half-dormer, both with sash windows. Deep overhanging eaves with shaped rafter-ends are present. The hipped roof has a transverse ridge stack with three conjoined lozenge shafts. The left return of the school has similar ground-floor windows and two half-dormers. The right return showcases a pointed window with Geometric tracery under a hoodmould with carved stops.
A late 20th-century door has been inserted at the left. A circular, louvred opening in an octagonal surround, with a hoodmould, is visible in the gable. The rear of the school shows a reduced external stack with offsets, and an extruded lean-to porch with a four-panel door. The gatepiers at the entrance have a chamfered plinth and a gabled cap ornamented with roll mouldings, blind trefoils, and a quadrant corbel table.
