Cardross Station

Cardross Station is a single-storey building from the later 19th century, featuring a long rectangular plan. The station has an 11-bay elevation facing the platform and a 5-bay near-symmetrical main front, situated on sloping ground to the south. The structure is built from stugged squared and snecked red sandstone, with honey-coloured sandstone margins and dressings. It includes round-headed windows, a base course, quoins, and exposed rafters.

On the southwest elevation, which faces the platform, there is a 4-bay office at the left end, consisting of a disposed window, a door that is now blocked, and a pair of windows. The waiting area is located off-centre to the right and features a narrow wooden door with a blocked fanlight, along with large quadripartite glazing that lights the waiting room to the right. There is also a round-headed window and door at the outer right, both of similar dimensions, with the cill close to ground level.

The northeast elevation has bays that are near-symmetrically arranged. At the centre, there is an advanced gabled porch with a round-arched door, and windows are symmetrically disposed to the right. To the left, there is a blank bay, while the outer left features a bipartite rectangular window.

The roof is covered in grey slate with lead flashings. It has tall, coped ridge stacks, including a single modern can at the north end and a paired octagonal terracotta can at the south end.
