Pitched slate roof with overhanging eaves, rendered end chimneystacks, cast-iron vent and cast-iron rainwater goods. Catslide slate roof to return. Painted smooth rendered walls with render plinth. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows and painted stone sills. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door and having console brackets supporting timber lintel with replacement fanlight over. Yard to rear with dressed limestone walls and single-storey outbuildings with painted stone walls, pitched slate roof and timber casement windows.
This elegant house of balanced proportions retains many original features exists largely in its original form. It is one of a group of railway structures at a key railway junction and as such is historically important as a reminder of the nineteenth-century heyday of railway travel and transport.
