Description

The building is a police station located on King Street in Crieff, dated 1900. It is a two-storey structure with an attic and basement, featuring six bays and a crowstepped design, situated on sloping ground that falls to the southwest. The exterior is constructed of stugged, squared, and snecked rubble with stugged margins and quoins. It includes a base course, a moulded dividing string course, and jettied attic gables, with chamfered arrises.

On the southeast elevation, there are five principal bays arranged symmetrically. The central gable is finialled and contains a deep-set panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight below, and a window at the first floor above a stepped corbel. Flanking bays are slightly set back, each with a window on both floors; the left bay features a glazed roundel in the raised basement. The outer right bay has a crowstepped gable with windows on both floors, a corbelled attic, and a narrow light in the gablehead. The outer left bay mirrors the right, with an additional louvered opening in the raised basement. There is a further lower set-back bay to the left with a door and an adjacent window on the ground floor, a carved stone above, and two small close-set windows at the first floor.

The northeast elevation features a broad gable with a bipartite window at ground level, a single window above, and a stack at the gablehead. The northwest (rear) elevation is asymmetrical, showcasing a variety of elements, including a crowstepped gable to the right.

The windows are timber sash and case, with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has ashlar-coped stacks and skews with decorative skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes are fitted with decorative rainwater hoppers.

The property is enclosed by low saddleback-coped squared rubble boundary walls, which feature decorative cast-iron inset railings and gates on the southeast side. There are three pairs of square-section ashlar gatepiers topped with gablet caps.
