Description

The schoolroom, located approximately 500 metres east of the Church of Saint Towennac, dates from the early 19th century and was remodeled around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings and features a grouted scantle slate roof with brick chimneys at the gable ends. The building has a rectangular plan, likely consisting of two rooms, with the larger room situated to the left of the entrance. A later 19th-century lean-to is added at the far left.

The schoolroom is a single-storey structure with a three-window front facing northeast. There is a gable-ended porch to the right of the middle, with a doorway located in the left-hand wall of the porch. To the left of the porch are two original window openings that have heightened sills and mid-19th-century 24-pane hornless sashes. To the right of the porch, and adjacent to a straight joint in the wall, is a late 19th-century 12-pane horned sash window. The rear of the building features windows that correspond to those at the front, including two original 30-pane hornless sashes opposite the 24-pane sashes and a 12-pane sash opposite its counterpart at the front. The interior has not been inspected.
