8, Station Road North

No. 8 Station Road North is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early 19th century, around 1818, with later alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring a weatherboard stair outshut and a wing that is partly weatherboard and partly rendered in concrete. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, while the wing has concrete tiles. The house is two storeys high with two bays, a stair outshut at the rear center, and a two-storey wing to the rear left.

At the base, there is a stucco plinth and a platt band. The entrance, located slightly left of center, has a segmental header-brick arch and a 20th-century glazed door set in a wooden frame, topped with a bracketed hood. On either side of the entrance are shop windows dating from around 1875. The left window has four panes over four panes with a central mullion and a pilastered architrave with a hood, while the right window is a bay design with two panes over ten panes and includes a fascia and cornice. The first floor features two windows, each with an unhorned 12-pane sash in a flush wood architrave. The eaves are stepped and dentilled with returns, and there are truncated lateral stacks.

On the right side of the building, there is an inserted bricked-up door on the left. At the rear, the wing contains unhorned sashes with 8, 12, and 16 panes in wooden architraves, along with a similar 16-pane sash in the outshut and a cross-window above.

Inside, the main range has been opened up to create one large room on the ground floor. The straight-flight stair features tongued and grooved boards on the walls, a plainly-moulded handrail, and an H-hinged door leading to an under-stair cupboard. On the first floor, there are four-panel doors with H-L hinges. The left room includes a fireplace with a plain surround and a moulded mantel, along with a board cupboard door. The ground-floor room in the wing has a large fireplace with a plain surround.
