Chippenham Station, Former British Rail Office In The Car Park

Chippenham Station, the former British Rail Office located in the car park, was built around 1840 by the engineer Isambard K Brunel for the Great Western Railway. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof with wide eaves and tall moulded stacks on the end walls. It has a rectangular plan and is a single-storey structure with a symmetrical four-window range. The outer windows have plain surrounds and 20th-century closed shutters. The central entrance has moulded archivolts and plain fanlights above double three-panel doors, which are flanked by similar windows that have a platband at impost level. The windows and shutters are from the 20th century. The interior has not been inspected.
