Llandegla School and Former Schoolhouse

Llandegla School and the Former Schoolhouse is a 19th-century building designed in a quasi-vernacular style, forming a T-plan range. Constructed from rubble stone with a slate roof and stone stacks, the school faces north towards the road. The gable front features a bellcote with raking offsets and a four-centred arched bell opening, although the bell has been removed. The stone gable coping includes kneelers, and there is a circular moulded stone surround with an inset painted dial on the upper gable wall. Below this, a small bell canopy, also without a bell, has a gabled slate roof supported by arched wooden brackets that spring from shaped corbels.

To the left of the gable end, a lean-to serves as the entrance lobby to the school, which has a boarded door. The west side of the building has two tall three-light window openings, with a larger middle window flanked by narrower windows on each side, featuring splayed stone mullions and 20th-century glazing. A boarded door to the left has a rectangular stone lintel. The rear gable has a central brick stack flanked by vertical window openings on either side, also with 20th-century glazing. There is a single-storey 20th-century addition at the rear.

The schoolhouse, located to the left, has a prominent central stack with a square base, an oversailing course, and star-shaped flue shafts with moulded caps. A similar stack is found at the far right, shared with the schoolroom. The schoolhouse is one and a half storeys and double fronted, featuring horizontally sliding sash windows on both floors, including one fixed four-pane light and one four-pane moving light. It has deep stone lintels and shallow stone sills, with gabled dormers that spring below the eaves. The boarded door has a rectangular overlight, although the original gabled canopy has been removed. The rear of the schoolhouse includes three gabled dormers with 20th-century glazing and a glazed lean-to porch.

Inside the school, there is a pointed-arch entry with a studded door. A central boarded partition with a wide 24-pane upper window divides the interior into two classrooms. The side walls are boarded up to dado level, and the east wall has a former fireplace opening that is now blocked. A modern ceiling has been inserted at wall-plate level, while the original room remains open to the roof, featuring arch-braced collar trusses that spring from stone corbels, which are partly visible.
