Description

Station Cottages is a terrace of cottages, now used for light industrial purposes. They were built in the early to mid-19th century for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway and were later extended and heightened in the 19th century. The cottages are constructed from coursed, tooled sandstone with alternating-block quoins and have door and window dressings. The roof is made of purple slate and features three ridge stacks, one made of stone and two rendered. The rear elevation is made of snecked sandstone rubble, while the returns are roughly-coursed sandstone with a plinth.

The building is two storeys high with four wide bays. The ground floor has two flush doors and two large four-pane sash windows, alternating with smaller four-pane sashes. The first floor has similar smaller sashes. The low-pitched roof has a corniced stone stack located between the first and second cottages, with rendered stacks to the left of the others. The returns show that the roof has been extended downwards over a rear extension. The rear elevation features six-panel doors alternating with twelve-pane sashes and four small pantry windows, along with four four-pane sashes in plain surrounds on the first floor.
