Description
The front appears as a symmetrical mirrored pair of 2-storey 2-window houses. Constructed of red brick under a slate roof with overhanging eaves and tile cresting, with central brick lateral stacks to front and rear roof pitches; brick and sandstone detailing. Doorways to outer sides, each with a boarded door with plain overlight under a flat moulded stone canopy supported on decorative brackets. Inner sides have pairs of windows, tall 18-pane horned sashes with flat arched heads of gauged brickwork and stone sills. Same windows aligned to 1st floor under a pair of hipped half-dormers with finials, which flank the central lateral stack. Sandstone sill band over a dentilled brick course. Between the pairs of upper storey windows is an oversized sandstone tablet bearing a decorated shield in relief, reading 'AD 1901'. To the ground floor, beneath the sill band, is a wide rectangular panel with eared sandstone surround; it is rendered inside, but perhaps referred to the police station originally.
The E and W gable ends are abutted by semi-detached houses of similar date. Rear, partly visible, has 2 x 4-pane sashes under segmental brick heads to upper storey, flanking lateral stack. Some brick lean-tos to lower storey.
In front of the building is a paved area bounded by a forecourt wall and railings: low red brick wall with sandstone saddleback coping surmounted by plain iron railings. To each end is a gateway bounded by square-section stone piers with carved tops. Plain iron gates, the outer posts with decorative scrolled tops.
Main entrance to L door, interior now modernised and converted to offices.
