Court House building. 1861 by Reeves. Ashlar. Welsh slate roof. Two storeys and attic. Italianate style. Six x five bays, on corner site. Near-symmetrical facade has rusticated ground floor and with vermiculated quoins. Doorway to first and fourth bays, the latter with consoles supporting a break in the ground-floor cornice surmounted by the Royal coat of arms. Ground-floor openings all have segmental heads with elongated vermiculated keystones and plain raised architraves. Sash windows with marginal glazing. Tall round-arched first-floor windows are archivolted and have elongated vermiculated keystones and spandrels. Vermiculated panels to the piers between the windows. Sunken aprons and dentilled sills. Six-light casements with circular wooden tracery to the window heads. Deep frieze with paired consoles supporting the heavy modillioned eaves cornice. Between the consoles are small attic windows. Hipped roof. Ornamental ashlar stacks with vermiculated panels, cornices and caps. The right return elevation is similar with two blind ground-floor windows.
Interior: Staircase with decorative iron balusters and ramped wooden handrail. First-floor hall with round-arched bays marked by pilasters and panelled ceiling. The building was converted to use as a railway station building in 1870 and remained as such until 1962.
