The station was situated at a level crossing on the Brooksby to Hoby road.

The station opened in 1846 on the Syston and Peterborough Railway.

The station buildings were larger than most on the line, considering it served a small village.

The stationmasters' house was designed by the architects William Parsons and Sancton Wood.
