Warkworth Station

Warkworth Station, now divided into two private houses, was built around 1847 by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company. It is constructed of squared, tooled stone with raised, tooled ashlar quoins and dressings, and has Welsh slate roofs. The building has an H-plan, with single-storey wings to the south and north-east, and an outshut on the north, and is in a Tudor style.

The east elevation comprises a main part that is two storeys high on a tall basement, with a 1-1-1 bay arrangement. The recessed centre has a renewed door at the head of an external staircase (partly collapsed). It features single and 2-light windows to the left, and a central gabled dormer holding a 2-light window. A gabled left end bay has a flight of 17 steps leading to a portico, with flanking walls featuring pitched coping and end piers with chamfered plinths and pyramidal caps. The portico has diagonal buttresses and three pointed arches (the left one containing a door), with old margined glazing, below a moulded parapet; there is a similar arch on each return of the portico, and a 3-light window above. Inside the portico is a centre-opening panelled door flanked by 8-pane sashes. A gabled right end bay is behind a lower projecting L-plan wing; the inner return shows a 4-panel door with a 3-light window to the left, and a renewed window in a gabled half dormer. The far left lower part has a boarded door to the basement, and two single and one 2-light window above. The left return features a canted bay window. Most windows are 8-pane sashes, with slits in the gables. All openings are within raised chamfered surrounds, with extended lintels, sill and mid-blocks, some under straight drip-moulds. Gables are coped on moulded kneelers, with some retaining ball finials. Stepped and corniced stacks, with diagonally-set multiple shafts, are on the ridges and some gables.

The rear elevation, facing the railway, has cross wings extending to flank the platform canopy, now having a 20th-century part-glazed front wall. Above the canopy is an empty clock surround and two windows in gabled half dormers. The wing to the right has a 2-storey canted bay. A lower part to the far right also has a canopy with a 20th-century part-glazed front wall.

Inside, the platform canopies have arcades of timber posts with wavy braces to axial and transverse members. Several contemporary fireplaces remain. The room with the canted bay in the single-storey south wing is said to have been the Duke of Northumberland's private waiting room.
