Description
The building is a police station, designed in a Neo-classical style, featuring three bays and three storeys, constructed from ashlar stone. It has angle pilaster strips and a slate roof that is hidden behind a low coped parapet on a moulded cornice, with panelled stone stacks at either end. The central bay, which is advanced and rusticated on the lower storey, includes a doorway set back in an arched recess with double panelled doors. The ground-floor windows on either side are also set back in arched recesses. The windows on the lower and middle storeys are 12-pane hornless sashes, with the central window in the middle storey featuring a segmental pediment, while the outer windows have triangular pediments. The upper storey contains 6-pane hornless sash windows beneath hood moulds, and the central pediment has a dated tablet.
The left gable end of the building is integrated into the Town Wall and is made of rubble stone with a coped gable and freestone dressings. The lower storey features two small-pane windows from the late 19th century under shouldered lintels. Below the left-hand window, there is the jamb and part of the arch of a blocked medieval postern gate. In the middle storey, there is a sash window to the right with a single over two panes, while the upper left has a window with six over two panes.
The forecourt is enclosed by cast iron railings with anthemion finials, set on a dressed stone dwarf wall. Central stone steps lead up to the entrance, framed by square panelled gate piers with moulded caps.
