Station House

Station House is a station master's house and station buildings built in 1847, probably by G T Andrews. It features brown brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings and a Westmorland slate roof, arranged in an L-shaped plan. The building is two storeys tall with three bays and a single-storey, three-and-a-half-bay wing at the rear right, which has the entrance to the house at its two-storeyed east end. The main facade of the house includes chamfered quoins, sash windows with glazing bars set in stone architraves with moulded sills on both floors, and slightly eared ground-floor windows. There is a first-floor sill band, a deep moulded eaves cornice, and a hipped roof with a central corniced ridge stack and another stack at the rear right eaves.

On the right side, which faces the platform, the house has one bay similar to the front but features a ground-floor bow window with a 16-pane sash. The single-storey range has bays defined by pilaster strips that support an entablature with a stone cornice and blocking course, featuring a sash with glazing bars on the left and a blocked door. The left side of the house mirrors the front with one bay, while the single-storey range has a four-panel door in a stone surround.

The railway line from Pilmoor to Boroughbridge opened in 1847 and was extended in 1875 to connect with the York-Harrogate line. The new line was constructed to the east of the old station to avoid challenging bridges over the Dishforth and Catterick road, leading to the construction of a new passenger station. The old station buildings were converted into cottages, and the goods line remained in use until 1964. The platform cottages were located to the west of the existing structure, and photographs were taken before their demolition. The house is identical to the demolished station master's house at Market Weighton, also designed by G T Andrews around 1847.
