Description
The Northumbria Police Expedition Centre, originally built as a police station and police house in 1859, now serves as a police youth expedition centre. The building is constructed from ashlar stone and features a graduated Lakeland slate roof in a Tudor style. It is a two-storey structure with a front block and two parallel rear wings.
The ground floor has four bays, with six-panel doors and overlights in the outer bays, set within recessed multi-moulded surrounds that include hoodmoulds. Between these doors are three-light mullioned windows with stop-chamfered surrounds. On the first floor, there are two gabled half-dormer windows that match the style of the ground floor.
Moulded stone brackets support the stone guttering, and the building has a gabled roof with flat coping and gabled kneelers. A fleur-de-lys finial adorns the left gable, while a corniced end stack is located on the right gable.
