Porch has camber-headed door opening with chamfered surround and timber battened door, and round-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window. Limestone edging to platform to south side of station. Single-storey former station master's house to east. Former level crossing with remains of timber gates to east.

This railway station is part of a scattered railway complex and is significant for its historical association with the former railway line constructed in 1860 to service the Mallow-Fermoy line and later connected with the Waterford-Rosslare line. The building retains fabric such as sash windows, bracketed slate roof and render details such as quoins, hood-mouldings and sills. The platform elevation is enlivened with decorative round-headed windows. The station complex retains a number of ancillary features and buildings and forms an important part of the social and economic history of the area.
