Description

Station CNR Cottage is a pair of attached cottages from the mid-19th century, which have been combined into one house. The building features dressed flint and red brick, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It is oriented northwest to southeast, with a southwest aspect, and has chimney stacks located in the gable ends. At the rear, there is a full-length lean-to with a central chimney stack, along with two flat-roofed single-storey extensions from the 20th century and a lean-to conservatory situated between them. The cottage stands two storeys tall and has a glazed door for the northwest cottage, while the southeast cottage has a 20th-century brick and flint gabled porch with a boarded door. Each cottage has four 19th-century casement windows featuring diamond leading on both floors. The flint is arranged in panels separated by red brick, with moulded red brick surrounds for the windows and flush elliptical arches of red brick over the doors and windows. The gables display tumbled-in brickwork.
