Description
The platform was on the south-west side of the line and was of stone construction with brick edging. Part way along the platform was a station building constructed of small stones with granite quoins, a slate roof and two brick chimneys. At the up end of the station building was a wooden building that housed the ground frame, this being of wooden construction with a slate roof and glazed front giving it the appearance of a tiny signal box. Beyond this at the end of the platform was a circular metal water tank.
Opposite the platform was a single loop which was later truncated at the down end with a buffer stop. This loop (later siding) had coal bins and vehicular access for loading and unloading although there were no goods facilities provided.
