Description
Detached gable-fronted single-bay two-storey former signal box, built c.1862, now in use as hotel accommodation. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Rock-faced limestone and ashlar cornice to ground floor with timber clapperboard to first floor. Replacement windows and doors.
Appraisal
This former signal box forms part of an interesting group of related structures with the former railway station, warehouse and bridge to the site. The building retains its original form and rock-faced limestone and timber clapperboard walls.
