Thorp Arch Station House

Thorp Arch Station House is a railway station and attached house, now a private dwelling, built in the mid to late 19th century for the North-Eastern Railway Company and altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed, squared magnesian limestone with gritstone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It has an elongated one-storey range with a ticket office in the cross-wing on the left, waiting rooms, and a rear wing, along with an attached two-storey, T-shaped station house at the right end.

Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the ticket office on the left has a transomed window with three trefoil-headed lights beneath a relieving arch and a gable adorned with a trefoil, kneelers, and ashlar gable copings. To the left of the ticket office, there is a lean-to with a pointed archway. The waiting rooms, set back on the right, are covered by a four-bay canopy supported by wooden posts with cusped braces. They feature three boarded doors in quoined and shouldered openings, along with three transomed, trefoil-headed two-light windows. The building has two tall corniced stone ridge stacks.

The canopy extends over the side wing of the house on the right and meets its gabled front projection, which includes a one-storey bay window with a 20th-century casement in a plain chamfered opening. This section also has kneelers and ashlar gable copings, with dentilled yellow-brick stacks on the main ridge and at the eaves on the left. At the rear, a pointed arch on the right of the ticket office springs from an offset buttress, while the one-storey range has trefoil-headed two-light windows and an attic window in the gable of the wing on the left. The house features blind dormers on each return. The building is included for its group value.
