Description
The Youth Club is a simple Gothic Revival style village school built in the 19th century. It features a long, double-height, gable-ended structure that is aligned roughly east-west, housing a classroom and a hall, with an entrance and cloakroom located in a single-storey gabled porch on the south side. The building is constructed of rendered masonry and has steeply pitched slate roofs with open eaves and slate ridges, although some ridges have been replaced with clayware tiles.
To the east of the porch, there is a lateral chimney made of local snecked stone, which narrows in two stages to a square shaft that is attached to a gabled roof. This chimney rises to a tall octagonal sandstone ashlar stack with a square base set on a chamfered coping. The windows are timber mullioned, with three and four lights featuring squat ogee heads, plain tympana, and low segmental pointed arches, with each light divided into six panes. The west gable end has a six-light timber mullioned and transomed window of similar design, complete with a small blind oculus in the tympanum. The south porch doorway has a low segmental pointed arch and a boarded door fitted with ornamented iron strap hinges. To the east of the door, there is a single-light window with a squat ogee head, containing six panes.
Inside, the classroom is located to the west and the hall to the east. The roof is open with scissor-braced trusses. A partition between the classroom and hall includes a high-level window with a segmental pointed head, featuring three lights, diamond mullions, squat ogee heads, and diagonal leaded glazing. The hall contains a fireplace in the south wall, and a painted wooden achievements plaque hangs on the north wall. A later schoolhouse is attached to the east gable end.
