Description

Single storey station with attached 2-storey stationmaster's house at the NW end behind the long platform. Snecked bullnosed rubble construction with grouted slate roof and red brick chimneys, one cut down. Ornate cusped bargeboards to gable ends and to the front gables of the house - most retain their finials and pendants. The station has a 4-bay platform front set back under a canopied roof, with cross-frame windows and entrance offset to the left (besides the missing clock face); painted architraves including coats of arms. A further doorway steps down at the extreme right end beside the narrow link between station and signal box. The front of the 'L'-plan stationmaster's house has advanced 1-window gable end and a similar gable treatment to the dormer hood over the 1st floor window, set back to the left. Lean-to boarded porch with small pane glazing is set into the angle with the cross range. Walled yard and outhouse at the left end.

There is an upper quadrant LMS pattern signal gantry approximately 250m to the S, and a GWR pattern gantry with home and distant lower-quadrant semaphores located approximately 85m to the N.

The original character is retained, including panelled partition and 4-panel door, and round-headed ticket window to the waiting room, and a an axial cast iron fire grate with surround. Ovolo-moulded stop chamfered beam over. The waiting room retains its original stout wooden armed benches.
