Flats 1-3, Peel House Peel House

Flats 1-3, Peel House is a former police house and station, built in 1895 for Devon Constabulary, and now converted into three flats. The building features unrendered snecked stone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof with coped gable ends, moulded kneelers, a cornice, and ridge tiles. It has two large brick ridge stacks with oversailing brick courses at the cappings. The structure has a symmetrical two-room and central passage plan, with a single-storey range extending to the right and an L-shaped single-storey range at the rear left side. While there were some internal alterations during the conversion to flats in the 20th century, the basic plan remains unchanged. The building is two storeys high with an attic storey and features a symmetrical three-bay front. The central bay projects forward as a gabled two-storey porch, with gabled dormers on either side breaking through the cornice. The original windows are intact, consisting of three-light chamfered stone mullions with ten panes per light, and the ground floor windows have chambered relieving arches. The porch doorway is a double chamfered two-centred arch with a hoodmould and a plaque inscribed "18 DEVON 95 CONSTABULARY." The single-storey range to the right has a chamfered two-centred arched doorway. Peel House is prominently located next to the churchyard and overlooks the village of Parracombe, and it is included for its group value.
