Description

A former school in Tudor-Gothic style, of a single storey with basement. Walls are rubble stone with freestone dressings. Openings are mainly blocked with brick. The steep roof of graded slates is on a plain corbel table and has apex ball finials to gables on moulded kneelers. Each roof slope has 2 raked vents with louvres below the ridge. There is a single tall coursed stone stack rising from the eaves at the rear. The entrance is on the N side facing Love Lane, where there is a dressed stone porch to the R, with stepped gable on moulded kneelers and with apex ball finial. The porch roof is missing. The porch has a Tudor arch to the leading to the blocked doorway. To the L of the porch are 2 narrow loops. The L gable end, facing the road, has a stepped 3-light mullioned and transomed window, with slate infill, and a former wooden notice board to the top of the centre light. The rear has transomed windows R and L, beneath which the basement is of large coursed stone blocks. The R gable end, overlooking the Seiont, is roughcast over brick. It has a stepped mullioned and transomed window similar to the L gable end, except that lozenge and hexagon-pattern iron glazing bars are retained above the transom. The basement has a doorway L and segmental-headed window to the R.

At the entrance to the porch and facing Love Lane is an iron gate hinged on a single monolithic octagonal stone pier with moulded cap. This has simple railings on an L-plan dwarf wall to the R. The basement is reached down quarter-turn stone steps with simple iron railings.
