Description
Southill Station is a railway station that has been converted for residential use. It is one of the stations on the Midland Line, which opened in 1857 and was designed by C H Driver. The building is in a simplified Venetian Gothic style, constructed from yellow brick with polychrome brick dressings and has slate roofs. The layout is T-shaped, with a northeast block that has two storeys and a gable facing the platform, and a southeast block that is single storey.
On the platform side, there is a lower block within the angle that features four coped gablets. Most of the windows are paired round-headed lights with cast iron casements designed in a geometric pattern. The passenger entrance to the lower block has a gabled hood supported by curved brackets. The entrance on the northwest elevation is accessed through a porch set at an angle, which has a coped gable, and both doors feature two-centred arched heads. All openings are adorned with polychrome brick heads and moulded dripstones, while a polychrome dentil cornice runs along the eaves. The building also showcases pierced wavy-edged bargeboards and a variety of chimney stacks with moulded cornices.
