Builth Road was the name subsequently given to the Central Wales Extension Railway's high level station on the line from Llandrindod Wells to Llandovery that opened in 1866.

The two routes crossed immediately south of the High Level station on a girder bridge and were at one time connected by lift.

There is a standard waiting shelter on the platform, along with a digital CIS display, timetable poster board and customer help point at the station entrance.

Level access is provided from the entrance to the platform, with a section raised to assist passengers boarding and alighting.
