Description

SJ 74 SE WHITMORE C.P. BALDWIN'S GATE

5/172 Station House

II

House. Early C19 with later alterations. Roughcast with plastered stone dressings; slate hipped roof with wide projecting eaves. 2 storeys; 3 bays, central one slightly recessed, corner piers, windows all glazing bar sashes (16-paned to ground floor) in eared and shouldered architraves; continuous first floor cill band; central entrance, 4-panel door in plastered and moulded surround with segmental arch and flanking fixed-light vertical windows; 2 roughcast stacks with stone capping in roof slope to left and right. It is known that Sir John Soane worked in the area (q.v. under Butterton Grange Farmhouse and Park Lodge) and it is possible that his influence is detectable here too, although the actual design would more probably be that of a local builder in this case.
