Description
The building is a former police station dating from the 19th century. It has two storeys with brown stone elevations and slate roofs, located at the corner of Banwell Street. The former house features a central chimney with four octagonal stacks and two first-floor gables that have mullioned windows set across the eaves. There is a central gabled porch at the ground floor entrance, with a window on each side that has altered glazing.
The west elevation includes a gable with a mullioned window on the upper floor and a ground floor stone splayed bay window, although the mullions have been removed. To the right, there is another mullioned window. The former police station, which runs parallel to Martin Street, has two chimneys with paired octagonal stacks on the left side. The first floor has five large gables, each featuring mullioned and transomed windows, with a bandcourse separating the floors.
On the ground floor, to the left, there is a Gothic-arched entrance doorway with double-leaf doors and an overlight. To the right, there is a mullioned window, a doorway with a shouldered arch, and two square-headed openings that now have modern shopfront glazing. The former market ranges at the rear have been altered and are no longer of special interest.
