Station House

Station House is a former station-master's house, now a private dwelling, dating to around 1836. It was possibly designed by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company. The building is constructed of tooled dressed sandstone with a Welsh slate roof and dressed stone chimneys. It is built in a Tudor style, comprising a single storey plus attic and three bays. A central door has been replaced, flanked by sashes within chamfered surrounds, all beneath hoodmoulds. Above the doorway is a corbelled-out, gabled half-dormer. This dormer features a four-pane sash with a chamfered surround, a coped gable with shaped footstones, and a panelled square block at its apex. The steeply pitched roof has coped gables and small kneelers. The end chimneys are corbelled out over returns and each has three square-plan stacks set diagonally. Four-pane sashes are set within chamfered surrounds on the returns. A late 20th-century rear addition is not of special interest.
