The Old Fire Station To Rear Of Nos 10, 12, 12A, 14

The Old Fire Station, located to the rear of Nos. 10, 12, 12A, and 14 on St Lawrence Lane in Ashburton, is a former fire station that has been converted into a store. It dates from the late 19th century and is constructed of stone rubble with red and cream brick dressings. The building features a slated roof and has a red and cream brick chimney on the rear gable.

The layout includes a fire-engine house on the right with a firemen's room behind it, and a ladder and hose store on the left. Access is provided by a narrow passage from St Lawrence Lane. The structure is one storey tall with a loft at the rear and has an asymmetrical front, characterized by twin gables and a pent-roof to the right. The entrance consists of half-glazed double doors, and there is a 2-light mullioned and transomed window to the right. The ladder store is open-fronted and features patterned bargeboards. Inside, the building has a kingpost-and-ridge roof.
