2/18 Former Toilet Block and Water Tower at south end of Charfield G.V. Station II
Toilet block, circa 1843-44; water tower, now used as offices, mid - late C19. The toilet block is 15 yards south of the booking hall and waiting room (q.v.): brick, slate roof with overhanging bracketted eaves and coped raised verges on kneelers; single storey with 2 single-light casement windows in chamfered surrounds. The water tower is immediately south of the former stationmaster's house (q.v.): brick lower storey with two 2-light cross windows with ashlar mullions and surrounds, central plank door; above is the iron water tank with panelled and ribbed sides. The buildings at Charfield Station form the only surviving intact group of buildings on the line - an important line which completed the through route from Exeter to Newcastle in 1844.
