Description
The Former National School is a single-storey Gothic building constructed from snecked rubble masonry with ashlar dressings. It features steeply pitched slate roofs and raking gable parapets, with ashlar stacks resting on rubble bases. The façade includes three gabled bays and a tower on the left. A conical roof crowns an arcade-like belcote, which is topped by a squat slate-hung polygonal spire. The tower has truncated gables adorned with gargoyles at the corners. The front displays a pierced trefoil over a cusped lancet, along with pierced quinquefoils at the apexes of the gables. The windows are four-light transomed cusped lancets with plate tracery, featuring lead cames. To the right-hand bay, there is an open timberwork porch supported by stone piers, topped with a hipped slate roof. The pointed arched doorway has a plank door.
The right end elevation has gabled cross wings and three-light transomed windows with Caernarfon arches. The rear elevation also features cusped trefoils at the apexes of the gables and four-light transomed windows, again with Caernarfon arches.
