The Station House

The Station House is a former station-master's house and ticket office, now a private residence, built around 1836 with later 19th-century additions at the rear. It is possibly designed by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company. The building features squared stone in narrow courses and has a slate roof with stone and brick chimneys, showcasing a Tudor style.

It is a single storey plus attic structure with three bays. The central door has been replaced but is set within a chamfered surround. To the left, there is a segmental-arched ticket office window with its original pierced iron grille. The end bays contain 2-light chamfered-mullioned windows that are topped with hoodmoulds, while the window on the left retains paired 8-pane sashes. Above the doorway, there is a large corbelled-out, gabled half-dormer that features a 2-light window under a hoodmould, a blind chamfered loop above, and a coped gable with shaped footstones.

The left end has a rebuilt brick stack, and the right end has a chimney with two truncated octagonal-plan stacks. The right return has replaced sashes in chamfered surrounds. There is a later two-storey gabled wing and lean-to additions on the right rear. A mid-20th-century link section to Ghyllbrae on the left return is not of special interest.
