Description

The Main West Block at Ladybank Station, opened in 1847 by the Edinburgh & Northern Railway and likely designed by architect David Bell, is a notable example of picturesque classic style architecture. This impressive building features two and three storeys, with the platform situated at the first-floor level. It is constructed of coursed rubble and topped with slate roofs, which are hipped on the taller block and at the north end. The eaves overhang and have plain bargeboards, complemented by tall chimneys.

At the south end, there is a small gabled entrance wing that includes a blind oculus, a triple sash window with a drip mould, and an outside stair leading to a wooden porch supported by cast iron columns. The building also features cross-type glazing, with a triple sash window on the south block and an outside stone stair leading to the house entrance.

The single-storey front is whitewashed and includes a splayed bay facing the platform. A fine flat-roofed canopy, supported by cast iron columns with acanthus capitals and scrolled ironwork brackets for lamps, enhances the entrance area. Inside, most of the offices and waiting rooms retain their original fireplaces and fittings. The property is further defined by a stone wall, gatepiers, stone steps, and double ironwork gates with a lamp bracket located at the north end of the main block.
