Description
Horsebridge Station is a station building constructed in 1865 for the London and South Western Railway. The building is made of brick with stone dressings and features later slate cladding, timber awnings, and a slate roof. It is two storeys high with a two-bay house and a single-storey section at one end. On the station side and the far bay of the house, there is a one-bay deep, single-storey flat-roofed wing with glazed infill that stretches across the front, leading to a three-wide bay canopy over part of the brick-edged platform.
The railway front has a double door under a segmental head in the end of the left wing and a three-light casement window in the right wing. A gas lamp is hung between these features, with infill behind glazed on rendered walls and half-glazed double doors to the left of centre. The canopy is supported by four cast-iron columns with brackets at the top connecting to the main beams, which have spandrels infilled with foliage. There is also a urinal on the side of the right wing. The left end of the building has segmental head three-light casements on both floors of the house part, featuring rubbed brick heads, with a stack on the side wall above the front wing and a similar window in the wing.
