Description
Ysgoldy is a two-storey building with five windows, featuring ground floor domestic quarters and a first floor schoolroom. It is constructed from local rubble, mainly gritstone, and has a slate roof with projecting eaves. The roof is notable for its unusually large slates arranged in diminishing courses, and it includes rectangular axial gable stacks that are rendered with projecting caps and topped with paired octagonal brick chimneys that have drip courses.
The main facade faces southeast, where the first floor windows are 16-pane side-hung casements, with the second window from the left being blind. The ground floor has modern four-pane casements set in earlier openings, all featuring brick flat arched lintels, with the ground floor windows also having slate hoodmoulds. A boarded door is located at the far right end, and there is a modern gabled porch to the left. The rear elevation mirrors the front with similarly styled first floor windows and a mix of modern ground floor windows. Access to the schoolroom is provided by stone steps leading up to a boarded door at the southwest end.
Inside, the first floor schoolroom extends the full length of the building and retains some original benches, a desk, and boards.
