Description

Station House is a small railway station-master's house, now used as a residence. It was likely built around 1848 for the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway Company. The building features white-painted render on brick and a red tiled roof. It has a single-depth, double-fronted plan that runs parallel to the railway track, situated very close to it, with a small side wing at each end.

The exterior is two storeys high with two symmetrical windows. The ground floor has a central Tudor-arched doorway, which contains a 20th-century part-glazed door beneath a shallow fanlight without glazing bars. This doorway is flanked by three-light wooden mullion windows, with the centre lights featuring top-hung casement openings. On the upper floor, there are 4-pane sash windows above these, and a raised square plaque in the centre with a moulded surround but no visible inscription. The roof has oversailing barges and is pierced by gable chimneys; the left (west) chimney is tall and made of brown brick with a cornice, while the other is cut down and rendered. There are small single-storey side wings, with a window on the left and a doorway on the right. The rear and interior of the building were not inspected.

Historically, this is probably Crosby's first railway station and represents an interesting example of very simple early railway architecture, comparable to two other surviving examples in Southport, such as No. 57A Portland Street.
