Description
The County Court is a robust Neo-Classical style courthouse building, constructed as a single storey with a T-plan layout, featuring the main courtroom at the centre rear. It is faced with limestone ashlar and rock-faced ashlar on a rock-faced plinth. The building has a shallow hipped slate roof over the entrance block, which is mostly hidden behind a parapet blocking course. The courtroom block at the rear has raking gable copings, and there are ashlar stacks with moulded caps positioned forward of the ridge, flanking the central bay of the front elevation, along with additional stacks at the rear.
The front entrance elevation consists of five bays, characterized by a rock-faced plinth, a plain blocking course, and a modillion cornice with a plain architrave. The central bays are made of ashlar masonry, separated by rock-faced pilasters, while the outer bays are also rock-faced. The central bay features a tripartite window with keystoned, round-headed arches, along with impost and sill bands. The flanking bays have similarly detailed single windows, with the impost band extending across the doorways in the outer bays to create a bar below the fanlights. The entrance has modern doors with fanlights above, and the central bays have modern margin-paned sashes.
The main courtroom at the rear is a gabled ashlar block, which includes a blocked oculus at the apex of the exposed gable. In front of the courthouse, there is a narrow forecourt enclosed by a low ashlar wall with piers and ribbon pointing. The main entrance is located in the left-hand bay, featuring modern lateral access steps and a ramp.
