Station House

This is a former station master's house, now a private dwelling, built in 1838. It was likely designed by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company. Constructed of dressed stone with a Welsh slate roof and ashlar chimney stacks, the house has a T-plan, comprising a deep gable-fronted wing to the left and a set-back wing at a right angle on the right, with a projecting front porch. The style is Tudor. Chamfered doorways and stone-mullioned windows are present throughout.

The projecting gable-fronted left bay is one storey plus attic, featuring a canted bay window under a hipped roof and a two-light attic window above. The steeply-pitched roof has a coped gable with a square block at the apex and shaped footstones. The set-back wing to the right is a tall, single-storey structure, two bays wide, with a porch on the left bay and a narrow two-light window on the right. This wing also has a steeply-pitched roof rising to the same ridge height, mirroring the gable details of the left bay, and a cross-axial chimney with four conjoined, octagonal-plan stacks. The gable-fronted porch, of two low storeys, has a blocked doorway with a round window above, echoing the roof and gable details elsewhere.

The left return elevation has three bays, with a partly-glazed door in the centre, a small sash window above, and flanking two-light windows. Attached to the rear are a single-storey former privy and coal shed, with boarded doors and a lean-to roof, and a partially enclosed rear yard accessed through a porch/kitchen.
