Description

The Old Police Station is an early 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble, with the side elevations finished in harling. A rendered band separates the ground floor from the first floor outer bay windows. The central doorway is now masked by a small, modern timber porch. The first floor windows are small and feature four-pane glazing. The building has end chimneys and a slate roof. A single-storey wing extends to the rear.
