Description
Nailsworth Railway Station House was built between 1864 and 1867 and is a notable example of railway architecture. The building is constructed of ashlar stone with some polychromy, evident in the voussoirs and relieving arches. It features slate roofs and has four groups of chimneys topped with decorative capping, along with a crested ridge.
The front of the building includes, on the left, a single-storey open arcade supported by "Romanesque" columns with carved capitals, arranged in three bays with a hipped slate roof. To the right is a plain single-storey section that has two mullion and transom windows flanking a smaller window. The right-hand block rises to two storeys, featuring a gable front with bargeboards and a wooden door hood that is slated and bracketed. This block has irregular windows, with two on the first floor and one on the second.
On the platform side, the two-storey block has a projecting gable with a bargeboard and includes two hipped loggias with carved corbel capitals from the projecting side walls, which screen three windows and two outer doors. To the right is a gabled wing that displays a shield in its coped gable and a canted bay on the ground floor.
