Station House

Station House, originally a station, dates from around 1848 and was likely designed by G T Andrews for the York and North Midland Railway. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building features a main range with a central bay that projects forward, an addition to the right, and cross wings at the rear. It is two storeys high and has five bays, with a single-storey, two-bay addition to the right. The structure has a stone plinth and a central canted bay under wide eaves, flanked by sash windows with glazing bars set beneath cambered brick arches. The right extension includes a two-panel door with an overlight beneath a segmental arch, alongside a sash window with glazing bars beneath a segmental arch to the left. On the first floor, there is a continuous stone band at sill level, with a pair of round-arched plate glass sashes flanked by sash windows with glazing bars beneath cambered brick arches, although the window opening to the extreme left is blocked. The building has end and ridge stacks. The York to Scarborough railway line was opened in 1845.
