Description
Nos 1-3 Bryn Ysgol is a long single-storey terrace of former almshouses, originally consisting of six one-window units arranged as three reflected pairs, which have been converted into three units. The building is constructed of rubble with a continuous medium-pitched slate roof and three equally spaced shared chimneys. It features simple moulded cornicing with weathercoursing.
The current openings are arranged as follows from left to right: a window (which was originally a door), a window, a window, a door, a window (originally a door), a window, a window, a door, a window (originally a door), a window, and a window with a door. The doors are boarded 20th-century doors with upper glazed panels, and there are 4-pane casement windows with slate lintels and cills.
Between the two right-hand units, there is an engraved slate dedication tablet from 1880, set within a shaped-pedimented sandstone frame. On the north gable end, there is a notable armorial slate dedication tablet featuring a lengthy inscription and the arms of the Vaughans of Pant Glas. This tablet is the original dedication of Captain Vaughan's almshouses from 1709, which was relocated here in 1880. The rear of the building is rendered and has modern entrances and windows.
