Description

This is a two-story building, constructed in a simple Victorian classical style. It was originally a County Court and later used as a Job Centre. The building has a limestone ashlar upper floor set above a rusticated ground floor, with a plain string course separating the two. The roof is slate, with projecting eaves and a stone chimney on the left-hand side. The symmetrical facade features three bays, with a central entrance containing a round arched doorway and a modern, part-glazed door (altered since the 1981 inspection), which has a plain segmental fanlight above. Tripartite windows with slab mullions flank the entrance on both floors; these contain sash windows with six panes in the first-floor central sections and plain glazing to the ground floor, along with narrow flanking sections. A further six-pane sash window is positioned above the entrance. The interior of the building was not inspected during the survey.
