Description

Oundle Railway Station, now disused, was built around 1845 by W. Livock. It features a limestone ashlar construction with a slate roof arranged in a diagonal pattern and has a shallow U-shaped plan. The building is two storeys high and has an entrance front with three bays, flanked by projecting gabled cross wings. The central doorway is square-headed and has a moulded stone surround, hood mould, and a 19th-century panelled door.

A gabled porch at the centre of the left gable has a doorway with a 4-centred arch head and a moulded stone surround. The window openings to the left and right, as well as above the central door and in the projecting gables, are all temporarily blocked and have chamfered stone surrounds with hood moulds. The first-floor window to the right projects slightly as a shallow oriel, featuring a 2-light stone mullion window, with the lower lights being blind and castellated decoration at the window head. The central first-floor window has a gablet above it.

The building has ashlar gable parapets and kneelers, with bases for apex finials. There are lateral ashlar stacks on the right gable with stepped corbelling and two octagonal flues, as well as a similar stack on the left side and a ridge stack on the left. Lean-to buildings on both sides are likely from around 1845. The elevation facing the platform at the rear of the entrance front has three gables, each with square-headed window openings similar to those at the entrance. The central window is a shallow square-headed oriel. The ground floor has a range of seven windows and doors, all temporarily blocked, with chamfered stone surrounds. The ashlar gable parapets and kneelers are present, with a finial on the left gable. The platform canopy has been removed. The interior has not been inspected.
