Description

The Rear of Hawarden Institute is a two-storey, four-bay building designed in the Queen Anne style. It features a shallow-pitched hipped roof covered in slate, with overhanging eaves and a moulded eaves cornice. There is a single offset brick chimney stack on the left side. The main section is symmetrical with three windows on the left and a recessed entrance bay on the right. The entrance has an open porch with a slate roof supported by scrolled wooden brackets, along with a wooden balustrade to the right. There is stepped access leading to a contemporary door that has an upper half glazed with 12 panes. On either side of the entrance, there are a pair of fixed windows with six panes each, topped with moulded, shaped heads. Above the entrance, there is a tripartite window supported by decorative wooden brackets, featuring a moulded pediment over the central light. A contemporary glazed lantern is mounted on a bracket above the porch.

The main block includes a tripartite window on the ground floor centre, which has part-leaded glass, an arched wooden transom, and a decorative keystone. Above this, there is a similar window, but it is a Norman-shavian oriel supported by scrolled brackets. Flanking both floors are six-light mullioned and transomed windows. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, featuring a moulded and dentilated string course and decorative diaper work in blue headers. The first floor is roughcast, with plain brick string courses at the cill level and beneath the eaves cornice, and pronounced brick quoins.

Adjoining to the rear is a contemporary two-storey domestic range, now known as No. 31. This range has cambered heads on its doors and windows, with both hipped and catslide roofs, along with contemporary yard walls and a W.C.
