Description

The former school located in the churchyard of Llywel is a single-storey building constructed from rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. It features a square stone stack on the left end. The front of the building has two long pairs of casement windows with stone sills, positioned on either side of a boarded door that has a thin stone lintel above it. To the extreme right, there is another door that is slightly wider and has a concrete lintel.

Attached to the west side of the school is a small outbuilding, which has continuous stonework and eaves, but no windows on the front. The east end gable includes a small wooden trefoil light. The building has not been inspected recently.
