Peel House

Peel House is an early 19th-century building that originally served as a police station and house, and is now a shop and house. It is constructed of buff brick and has a slated roof. The building is tall with two stories and faces east. The front is irregular, featuring a panelled soffit to the eaves overhang. There are three regularly spaced upper windows, and at the left end, there are double doors set in a wide doorcase that is accessed by three steps. Adjoining this are two taller windows for the police office. On the right side, there is a single-width door that leads up six steps, also in a similar doorcase, along with a taller and wider ground floor window. The windows are recessed sash types with flat yellow brick gauged arches and feature 6/6 panes, except for the window to the right of the house door, which has 8/8 panes. The doors are six-panel designs, with raised and fielded panels, but the bottom panels are flush beaded and set in deep reveals that are correspondingly panelled. Each door features a rectangular traceried fanlight above. The doorcases are adorned with reeded pilasters, with the double doorcase having double pilasters, and both have full entablatures and frieze blocks.
