Description
The Station House is a former station building, constructed in 1872, which is now used as offices. It is made of coursed limestone rubble and features a clay tile roof with stone gable coping, moulded kneelers, and an eaves cornice. The building has a three-bay plan and stands two storeys tall. It is adorned with ashlar gable end ridge chimney stacks that include a string course and a projecting cornice.
On the northwest elevation, there are three small gables with scalloped bargeboards above the first-floor windows. The first floor has three 3-light casement windows, while the ground floor features four casement windows. On the left-hand side, there is a pair of 2-light casements with a timber mullion and a high-level transom, separated by a stone mullion. To the right of these are two additional 2-light casements with a high-level transom, which flank a large gable doorhood supported on timber brackets and stone piers.
Each gable end has a contemporary one-storey wing that matches the style of the main building. The northeast wing is a single bay with a gable end chimney stack, while the southwest wing consists of two bays. Both wings have later flat-roofed stone extensions added to them.
