Station House

This is a former stationmaster's house and waiting room, now a house. It was built in 1871 for the Midland Railway Company and converted around 1976. The building is constructed of yellow brick with stone dressings and has steep-pitched slate roofs. Architectural details include a plinth, projecting quoins, window surrounds, gable bands, and pierced wavy bargeboards with finials. There are single ridge and external side wall stacks, with triple and double octagonal shafts respectively, the side wall stack shafts having moulded caps. Windows are primarily 20th-century casements. The building is arranged with two storeys and has a cross plan, with a two-window front. A projecting central gabled porch has a rebated, segment-headed doorway. To the left of the porch is a gabled wing with cross casements on each floor; the ground floor casement is larger. To the right of the porch, beyond the external stack, is a smaller casement. The side of the building which originally faced the platform has a gabled wing with a two-storey canted bay window with glazing bar sash windows above and cross casements below. Further along this side is a projecting through-eaves dormer with a two-light casement, and below it, a cross casement. The centre of this side has a rebated doorcase with a small window above it. The end of the building facing the street features a projecting gable with a two-light casement above and a cross casement below. The building was erected when the railway line from Rolleston to Southwell, originally built in 1847, was extended to Mansfield.
