Description

The building is a pumping station constructed from red brick with buff faience dressings, featuring a slate roof with tiled cresting and raised louvred clerestories. It is a single-storey structure consisting of two parallel gabled ranges, with a gabled wing extending from the north side and an additional extension, possibly the boiler house, from the northwest. The paired gables face southeast and each has a pedimented design with a modillion cornice. The entrance is located in the wider and taller left-hand gable, featuring a segmentally arched doorway with a heavy moulded hood.

Pilasters define the outer angles of the gables, adorned with capitals that display swags in relief and moulded volutes above an egg and dart cornice. The north return elevation is divided into two bays by similarly detailed pilaster buttresses, each bay containing a segmentally arched window. These windows are characterized by exaggerated splayed voussoir heads and a continuous impost band. The advanced wing is also highlighted by enriched pilaster buttresses and features narrow ventilation lights arranged in two rows between plain terracotta bands, positioned high on each side. A segmental pediment with a stack sits atop the gable. The main range continues beyond this wing with an additional two bays, maintaining the same decorative details. The long south-facing elevation exhibits similar detailing, while the lower rear wing has a stack at the angle and simpler decorative features.
