Idridgehay Station

Idridgehay Station is a house that was formerly a railway station, built around 1867 in the Tudor style. It features ashlar gritstone set on a shallow plinth, with quoins, plain gables, and intermediate ashlar ridge stacks topped with moulded caps. The roofs are boldly oversailing and covered with Welsh slates, adorned with decorative bargeboards on the south gables. The building has an 'H' plan, with gabled crosswings at either end of a central range. The west elevation is a single storey with advanced wings, each having 2-light chamfer mullioned windows and small four-centred arched blind lights in the gables. The central bay is recessed and includes a moulded doorway flanked by single light windows. The east elevation is similar, featuring a pierced cast iron beam from a former canopy that connects the two gables. This station was constructed to serve the Wirksworth branch of the Midland Railways Buxton line.
