(Location cited as NO 067 251). An unusual 2-storey, red-brick building, on a T-plan, now a dwelling-house. There are still a platform seat and porters' barrows on the overgrown platform.

The station house has been converted for domestic use. The line of the trackbed is not easily discerned but a short length of the N platform can still be traced, as can what was evidently a station yard to the W of the station house.
