Square-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door and overlight.
Station master's house retaining its overall character and form in spite of refenestration and alterations. The eaves detailing incorporating paired timber brackets is indicative of the Tudor Revival style of architecture often employed by the railway companies. The optimistic spirit of enterprise and industry engulfed the latter half of the nineteenth century, the railway companies in particular built a large number of structures, many of these have now fallen into disuse and their survival is threatened.
