Description
20 Douglas Terrace is a former railway station designed by James MacLaren around 1850. The building is two storeys high and is situated on the slope of an embankment. It has three bays and is constructed of snecked rubble with long and short dressings, margined angles, and features a slate roof with brick stacks. The first floor has ten-pane sash and case windows, while the ground floor windows are blocked. The eaves are deep, with exposed rafter ends.
On the north elevation, which adjoins the railway, there is a central keystoned Venetian-style door flanked by side windows, along with two additional doors and windows. The first floor has three windows, and there is a small central wallhead gable that includes an armorial and a gable stack.
The south elevation is built into the fall of the land, featuring a central door that is approached by steps and is sheltered by a timber and glazed gabled porch with finials. This elevation also has widely spaced flanking windows. There are external stairs leading to the former platform on both the left and right sides, with cast-iron railings on the left. A lamp bracket is attached to the southwest corner.
The east gable is plain, with a door located at the left side of the ground floor and a ridge stack. The west gable is similar to the east gable but features a window at the centre of the ground floor. The building is enclosed by a rubble wall on the south, east, and west sides.
