The station consisted of a two-storey station master's house and a single-storey building for the station office and waiting room. There were no sidings or goods facilities. Mr Francis Johnson was the station master for three years prior to 1908 after which he moved to Scruton railway station. He had a reputation for beautifying the stations under his charge.
