Description
Edderton Station was built in 1864 for the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway. It is a two-storey, T-plan gabled station house featuring a short platform-verandah. The building is constructed from red sandstone that is stugged, squared, and snecked, with ashlar dressings. It has a base course, and the principal elevations display chamfered arrises and chamfered cills.
The principal block of the station has three bays, with a four-centre-arched doorway in the center that has been blocked and converted into a window. There are windows in the flanking bays on each floor, with the first-floor windows breaking the eaves in gabled dormerheads. A window is present at the gablehead of the right return, and there are additional windows on the ground floor and a four-centre-arched window in the gablehead of the left return facing the railway track.
The platform block features a recessed wing to the left, which includes a verandah that shields the platform and is supported by cast-iron columns. The corner to the left gabled return has a stone lean-to at the ground level. The gabled return of the principal block is located to the right. There is a dormer on the roof pitch with a four-centre-arched window, along with a bipartite window onto the platform from the waiting room, as well as doors. The rear elevation includes a lean-to stone porch and a further timber catslide addition in the re-entrant angle formed with the principal block at the center. The windows are timber, four-pane sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring overhanging eaves with simple barge boards and attenuated finials at the gableheads. The gablehead stacks are made of coped ashlar and brick.
Inside, there is a cast-iron horseshoe chimney piece.
