Description
Graigwen is a building that is completely rendered and painted, likely over local rubblestone, and features Welsh slate roofs. The original structure has two storeys, while a wing added to the right gable in 1874 has one storey. The building includes three regular cast iron casement windows with distinctive lattice-pattern glazing, each consisting of four lights. A ledged door, probably inserted in 1874, replaces three lights in the right-hand window. All windows have unmoulded dripstones. The roof has a low pitch with deep eaves and gable stacks, each topped with a single octagonal shaft. The left gable features a smaller window of the same type. The single-storey, gable-fronted wing on the right has one matching window and incised decoration on the gable, covering the gable end of the original building and likely its original entrance door. This wing also has a right-facing gable with a small window and the date 1874, along with a tall brick stack. The rear elevation was not seen.
The interior was not observed during the resurvey, but it likely originally contained a schoolroom on the lower level and accommodation for the teacher above. The light levels may be low, which is unusual for a school unless all the windows were replaced in 1894.
