Description
Orbliston Station is a building dating from around 1858. It features a southeast-facing, two-storey, four-bay house with a single-storey railway office and a canopied platform shelter at right angles to the rear, creating a T-shaped plan. The structure is made of tooled rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The southeast elevation has a blocked off-centre entrance that has been converted into a window, and the outer bays are slightly advanced with gables. There is a gabletted projecting ground floor window on the southwest return gable, which faces the platform. The dwelling is connected at the rear to the canopied station office, which has an advanced gabled outer bay lit by a canopied bipartite window. The building features both 2-pane and 4-pane glazing, with coped end and ridge stacks, and is topped with slate roofs.
