Description
Detached three-bay two-storey former railway station, built c.1880, now in use as a house. Hipped roof with oversailing eaves and ashlar chimneystacks. Snecked limestone walls with quoins and string courses. Moulded lugged opening surrounds with timber sash windows. Single-storey porch addition to ground floor.
Appraisal
Oldcastle's former station master's house was designed in an Italianate style and retains many original features. High quality craftsmanship is apparent in the dressing and detailing of the masonry. Attached to the station building to the west and to the platform building to the north, this building is part of an integral group. Other related railway structures include the former warehouse, and the disused railway bridge to the east.
