Detached L-plan two-bay two-storey former station master's house, built c. 1860, with single-storey extensions to rear (south) having single-pitched slate roof and flat roof. Now in use as house. Hipped artificial slate roofs with timber corbelled eaves, rendered chimneystack with limestone string courses and ceramic chimneypots. Roughcast rendered walls with rusticated limestone quoins. Square-headed single and paired window openings with corbelled sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber sheeted door. Square-profile piers and wrought-iron pedestrian gate to boundary with railway station. Rubble stone boundary walls to site boundary.

Formal properties enhanced and emphasised by carved limestone quoins, evidence of skill of nineteenth-century stonemasons and stone cutters commonly used in railway architecture. Although disused, form and much fabric retained. Part of group with level crossing, platforms, and other railway structures.
