Description

The Old Police House is a house from the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with chamfered quoins and features a blue machine tile roof. The building has an eaves band and verge parapets, with a stone stack on the left side and a brick stack on the right. The front is three storeys high and has three windows, which are fitted with glazing bar sashes that are reduced in height on the top floor. Originally, the door was located to the left of centre but has since been changed to a window. The current central door has a raised quoin surround and cornice, and it is a glazed 19th-century door with a painted pilastered surround and cornice.
