There were two platforms on the Stour Valley line and a separate linked platform for the line to Saffron Walden.

The station was 48 miles 79 chains (78.84 km) from London Liverpool Street via Saffron Walden.

[2] The station was originally constructed by the Great Eastern Railway in 1865.

The Saffron Walden line closed in 1964 and the station was closed with the Stour Valley Line in 1967 in the wake of the Beeching Axe as a large number of Britain's railway stations were shut.

The station buildings have since been converted to a house.
