Detached two-bay single-storey brick and roughcast rendered fire station, built c.1985, with square-profiled tower to rear. Projecting brick faced office bay to south, roughcast rendered garage bay to north. Pitched pantiles roofs.
Of asymmetrical design, incorporating an interesting mix of materials which articulate the separate functions of garage and offices. The square tower to the rear is a typical feature of fire stations.
