Description
The former goods station, store, and house, built in 1854 for the Furness Railway Company, is now used as a car showroom, workshops, and offices. It features polychrome stone construction, with rock-faced squared and coursed red sandstone complemented by yellow sandstone detailing, including quoins, a chamfered plinth, banding, and a cornice. The store and house have hipped roofs made of graduated slate, while the main shed has a corrugated sheet roof. The shed boasts a wide gable with coping and a large central glazed opening with a segmental arch, which is adorned with rusticated voussoirs and a moulded impost band. On either side of this opening are doorways with round arches, also featuring rusticated voussoirs. Set back to the right is the former house, which is two storeys high and has three bays beneath a hipped slate roof. The ground-floor windows and the central doorway are topped with bracketed lintels, and the windows are late 20th-century casements designed to imitate glazing bar sashes.
