Chy-an-Scol and Old Schoolhouse, including courtyard walls at front

Chy-an-Scol and Old Schoolhouse, along with the front courtyard walls, are a school and associated schoolhouse built in 1861. They were constructed for the widow of Sir Christopher Cole to provide education for poor boys in the parish. The buildings are constructed of dressed granite, with granite steps, quoins, doorways, and window surrounds. The roofs are dry Delabole slate with granite coped gable ends and dressed granite chimneys; the chimneys over the left gable and front gable have octagonal shafts. A large chimney is located over the party wall, and another chimney is at the rear, right. The architecture is Tudor style.

The building has a T-shaped plan, consisting of a single-story schoolroom to the left with a front porch on the left side, and a cross-wing schoolhouse to the right, with chambers mainly in the roof space, and a schoolhouse entrance lobby.

The south-facing front has an asymmetrical 1:2:1 bay arrangement. The stonework around doorways and windows is painted. The buildings have a plinth, and feature chamfered, depressed two-centred arched doorways with hoodmoulds and relieving arches, retaining their original doors. The windows have shouldered, chamfered mullions. There are two-light windows in the schoolroom, between the gabled porch on the left and the projecting gable of the schoolhouse on the right; a three-light window is located to the left of the schoolhouse gable, alongside a doorway to the right. A four-light window is in the middle of the gable, with both windows featuring hoodmoulds and relieving arches. The gable window has a wide central mullion containing a flue. An inscribed plaque dedicated to John Cole is positioned above this window, and a similar plaque displaying the Strangways (Earl of Ilchester) coat of arms is located in the porch gable.

The interior of the schoolhouse is reportedly little altered, but the schoolroom has been subdivided for residential use.

Low forecourt area walls are constructed of dressed granite, with dressed granite copings, and granite steps leading up to each doorway.
