Description
The former booking hall and waiting room at Charfield Station is a disused building constructed around 1843-44 for the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, designed by engineer I.K. Brunel. It is built of brick with freestone dressings and quoins, topped with a slate roof featuring overhanging bracketed eaves and coped raised verges on kneelers to the right. The building is designed in a plain Tudor Gothic style and is a single storey.
The central door has a chamfered ashlar surround with a 4-centred head. To the right, there is an advanced square bay that served as the waiting room, alongside a recessed section with a square-headed door. On the left, a smaller advanced square bay represents the booking hall, with a recessed parcels office and office section. The windows, which are boarded, were likely 2- and 3-light casements with chamfered surrounds.
Charfield Station is notable for having the only surviving intact group of buildings on this important railway line, which completed the route from Exeter to Newcastle in 1844.
