There was a large goods yard on the north side, approached from the east, with a goods store and loading banks.

The east end of the station was crossed by a road bridge carrying the A697.

The signal box, at the east end of the platform, was part stone part timber, similar to others on the line and the former box which survives at Norham.

The station closed to passengers in 1930, the line north to Wooler closed in 1948 and complete closure was in 1953.

The station building survives, in use a a house. The road bridge has been replaced by a re-aligned A697.
