Description
Chathill Station, built around 1847 by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, is a station building of group value. It is constructed of ashlar, with a Welsh slate roof, and displays a Tudor style with an irregular plan.
The platform facade is two and a half and two storeys high, with single-storey extensions at each end. Raised alternating quoins and surrounds are visible. The central feature is a projecting two-storey bay with a cross-gabled roof, incorporating a two-storey mullioned bay window. To the left is a one-and-a-half-storey section, containing a panelled door and a two-light window, sheltered by a lean-to roof supported by an arcade of five square posts with serrated brackets. A two-light gabled half-dormer is positioned above. To the right are two eight-pane sash windows within raised surrounds with floating cornices, accompanied by a similar half dormer above. The steeply-pointed gabled roof is punctuated by kneelers, ridged coping, five ball finials, and tall corniced ridge stacks—one single and one with two conjoined shafts, the latter rebuilt in brick.
The rear facade presents an L-plan shape, with a projecting wing on the left side, mirroring the detailing of the front. The paved platform features a retaining wall, and a single cast iron lamp post remains.
