Limestone kerbing of former platform to site.

Appraisal
This former station and former station master's house form part of a group with the surviving railway related structures to the site. The architectural form of these buildings is enhanced by the well finished original materials. These railway structures make a colourful group, with the red brick, grey limestone and painted timber.
