Present state: The platform is intact but heavily overgrown, the platform edge is partly visible along the down side, the footings of some of the platform buildings can also be made out. The lamp room beneath the bridge can still be entered. The goods shed is of timber construction with corrugated metal panels with an open loading platform facing onto the track; there is a roofless brick goods office alongside. The goods shed is in a dilapidated condition but largely intact with an open section of platform, a brick weighbridge building also stands nearby; this was in reasonable condition in 1989 but is now roofless. The adjacent stationmaster's house is in private occupation. The trackbed to the south of the station is a public footpath.
