Description

The Old School is a former school building constructed from rubble stone with slate roofs. It is two storeys high and features a three-window range of 20th-century stained wood casement pairs. The window surrounds are chamfered and made with cut Cilgerran stone voussoirs, and there are slate sills beneath. To the left, there is a door with a chamfered surround and a triangular Cilgerran stone head. The roof ridge has two ventilators.

Adjacent to the school is the School House, which is one and a half storeys tall. It has a gabled center that projects forward and features 20th-century bargeboards supported by timber corbels. The first floor has a stained wood casement pair with top-lights, while the ground floor has a triple casement with top-lights. Both sets of windows have cut stone voussoirs above flat heads and slate painted sills below. To the left, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door with a cambered head and stone voussoirs. A rear wing includes a brick ridge stack and 20th-century metal windows in the end gable. To the front right, there is a single-storey outbuilding that was formerly a stable, featuring a central door with stone voussoirs.
