Description
The former Baschurch Railway Station is a disused railway station, now partly converted into domestic accommodation. It was built in 1848 on the Shrewsbury to Chester Railway and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from stuccoed red sandstone and features a slate roof with ornamental bargeboards and pointed finials, showcasing a Gothic style.
It is two storeys high, with the entrance side displaying a slightly projecting gable to the left, a gabled half-dormer in the center, and a narrow gabled projection to the right. The windows are mullioned and transomed latticed types set in painted stone architraves, with one on each floor of the left gable, one in the half-dormer, and one in the right projection on the first floor. The central gabled porch contains an infilled Tudor-arched doorway with hollow spandrels, flanked by mullioned and transomed windows, with the left window having its cill removed and a 6-panel door inserted.
To the right of the left gable, there is a prominent stuccoed stack with a red brick top, and a small internal end stack is located to the right. A single-storey range to the right has similar windows and a tall ridge stack in the center. On the former platform side, there are gables to the left and right of a slightly recessed center section, which also features a gabled half-dormer. The single-storey range includes a similar half-dormer and maintains the theme of mullioned and transomed latticed windows throughout.
