Description

A two-storey, four-bay former constabulary barracks, sited at the end of a long terrace of listed buildings in the small canal village of Scarva. Unfortunately, pebble-dashed, and with all of its openings boarded up, it was last used as a dwelling house, but has been uninhabited for well over two decades (it appeared in Buildings at Risk, Vol. 2, p. 33). A substantial property with a large wooded walled garden, it would seem a highly attractive proposition for a restoring owner. While the external condition of the building appears to be in good order, and kept well painted, the encroaching vegetation is an issue that needs resolved.
