Description
The former toilet block and water tower at the south end of Charfield Station date from around 1843-44 and the mid to late 19th century, respectively. The toilet block is located 15 yards south of the booking hall and waiting room. It is constructed of brick and features a slate roof with overhanging bracketed eaves and coped raised verges on kneelers. This single-storey building has two single-light casement windows with chamfered surrounds. The water tower is situated immediately south of the former stationmaster's house. It has a brick lower storey with two 2-light cross windows that have ashlar mullions and surrounds, along with a central plank door. Above this is an iron water tank with panelled and ribbed sides. The buildings at Charfield Station are the only surviving intact group of structures on this important railway line, which completed the route from Exeter to Newcastle in 1844.
