Paired round-headed windows with stone sills and raised render surround to first floor of two-storey block. Paired square-headed window openings with stone sill to ground floor of two-storey block surmounted by simple stone pedimented canopy.

A former railway station which together with the adjacent related buildings and bridge, is a reminder of the extent of the rail network in the past. While the rail line remains in use, this building no longer functions as a station. Though some historic fabric has been replaced, it retains much of its original form, while the round-headed openings, render detail and eaves corbels add to its character.
