Description
The building is a former railway station, constructed in 1841 and later altered in the late 20th century. It was designed by I.K. Brunel. The station is now partially used as offices and public lavatories.
The main range is built of coursed squared limestone with a Welsh slate roof. The gable facing Tetbury Road incorporates a single-storey flat-roofed extension to the left. The main range extends to the rear, alongside the former platform to the right, and displays Tudor style detailing. The two-storey main range has an attic and a single window fronting Tetbury Road. The first floor features a projecting bay with a single, three-light stone mullion-and-transom window, incorporating four-centred arched heads to the upper lights and 19th-century iron casements. A coped parapet with carved ribbon decoration sits above the first floor. A similar single-light window is set in the gable above, within a chamfered reveal with a hoodmould. The ground floor has a 20th-century window within a blocked former doorway, also set within a projecting bay with a chamfered reveal. An ashlar plinth features, along with flush quoins to the left and right angles. The shaped gable has heavy moulded coping, corbelled out on moulded kneelers, topped with a stone finial at the apex. To the left of the main range is a single-storey extension with 20th-century windows; a 20th-century glazed canopy replaces the original continuous 19th-century canopy. The stone to the ground floor front of the main range and the left-hand range has been re-tooled in the late 20th century.
The left side of the main range features two two-light stone mullion-and-transom windows with four-centred arched heads to the upper lights, fitted with 19th-century iron casements set within chamfered reveals and hoodmoulds. Two gabled dormers have two-light stone mullion windows. The right side of the main range has two 20th-century doors, one blocked window, a pair of doors with applied moulding forming vertical panels with a four-centred arched head in a timber surround, and two small single-light windows with four-centred arched heads. The narrow gable to the rear has a 19th-century four-pane fixed light within a chamfered stone reveal with a hoodmould to the first floor, and a two-light window within a chamfered reveal in the gable. A blocked doorway with a chamfered reveal and keyed lintel is at ground floor level. An opening with a four-centred arched head and a lean-to to the right has a pair of 20th-century doors and plank infill panel.
The interior contains a 20th-century staircase from ground to first floor; a 19th-century staircase without a handrail is enclosed by timber panels from the first to the second floor. The ground floor has a 19th-century pointed architrave to the opening to the staircase. The first floor has 19th-century moulded architraves and four-panel doors. The second floor includes a timber partition with unmoulded panels and similar four-panel doors. No fireplaces were noted.
