Description
Station House is a station and station master's house built in 1855 for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on the Wigan to Southport line. The building is constructed from snecked sandstone rubble and features a slate roof in a Tudor style. It has two storeys, with windows that are chamfered, mullioned, and transomed, all topped with hoods.
On the south side, which faces the platform, there is a central projecting gabled wing that includes a canted bay window on the ground floor and a 2-light window above. Each side of this wing has a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway. The front of the building has single-storey sections on either side; to the right is a square bay window that is blind on the sides and has two lights at the front, while to the left is a 2-light window with a door to its left. The gables are coped, and there are chimneys to the left of the wing and at the right. At the rear, a two-storey porch connects to the back of the central wing, with a single-storey wing running parallel to it on the east side.
