Description

The building is a school room dating from the 19th century, designed in the Tudor-Gothic Revival style. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with a dressed stone plinth, quoins, and window surrounds, topped with a slate roof and stone chimneys. The elevation facing the road features a gabled school room on the left, which has stone copings and a ball finial, a central studded door, and a window with curvilinear quatrefoil tracery above it.

To the right, there is an attached house that is set back and two stories high, featuring a gable with stone copings and a damaged finial, as well as cast-iron casement windows. There is also a rendered two-story extension from the 20th century. The walls leading to the schoolyard step down and are accompanied by railings and a gate, continuing to the right with an attached altered gate pier. The left return of the school room has two tall four-light mullioned windows.

At the rear, the school room includes a 20th-century garage opening, with a mullioned and transomed window above it, and a square recess in the gable that displays a damaged carving of the Williams-Wynn heraldic eagle. The attached school house on the left has a gabled range with two-light mullioned windows and a door, along with an advanced gabled wing that features one two-light mullioned window on each floor. Inside, the school room has an exposed timber roof with king post trusses, while the house retains its original plan form and staircase.
