Probably by I K Brunel, for the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway, additions for Great Western Railway. Limestone rubble and ashlar with Welsh slate roofs. The up platform is a Brunel 'cottage' with extensions of 1890 and 1914. Bridge to down platform probably 1914. Earliest building (up side): Coursed ashlar limestone on chisel dressed limestone plinth projecting chisel dressed limestone quoins and raised ashlar dressings to windows. Ashlar chimneys, (one partly re-built in reconstructed stone) with high level drip course mouldings. Parapets to gables and blue Welsh slate roof. Platform canopy-with dogs tooth or chevron timber fascia, supported partly on cast iron cantilever brackets with circular motif. Down platform building c.1914: coursed ashlar limestone with projecting details, plinth and ashlar surrounds to flat arched doorways, all generally detailed to match earlier building on up platform. Platform canopy and low mono pitched roof with modern felt covering. Various chamfered timber mullion and transom windows with some opening casements to both buildings.

Down platform building is rectangular plan with bay window at south-east end. Interior of both buildings divided into various station offices, waiting rooms etc, with no features of particular interest. Steel and timber covered footbridge links up and down platforms at north-west end. Platforms at north-west end carried over valley and roadway on bridge and blue engineering brick viaduct. Group value with viaduct, railway goods shed (q.v.) and Hill-Paul Mill building to south-west. Building originally for C and GWUR with Brunel as consultant engineer. Taken over by GWR in 1844.
