Description
Station House is a former railway station built around 1864. It features red brick construction with decorative white brick bands and some diaper patterns. The building consists of a single-storey station range and a two-storey former stationmaster's house at the southern end. Both sections have steep slate roofs adorned with ornamental cresting, and the station range includes three small wooden trefoil lights. There are brick stacks on stone bases, with two serving the station and one for the house.
The station range has a gable end facing north and large cross-gables that are half-hipped on each side, creating an entrance porch. There is a canopy on the west side and decorative barge boards on the gables. The porch gable displays a picturesque mix of half-timbering and herring-bone brickwork, while the platform side is finished with painted clapboard. The windows are adorned with polychrome brick shallow pointed relieving arches and are cross-mullioned.
The house section is taller, also gable-ended, and features decorative barge-boards, diaper brickwork, and polychrome window heads. It has one three-light and one two-light window on the west front. There is a modern extension to the south that matches the original design.
