It was located on the former London, Brighton and South Coast Railway single track Pulborough to Midhurst branch line.

It had a single platform, and a passing loop for freight trains, together with a signal box and goods facilities.

The main station building was rebuilt in about 1892 and is a wooden 1-storey structure with architectural embellishments.

The station was closed to passengers by the Southern Region of British Railways on 5 February 1955[1] and to freight traffic on 20 May 1966.

Some time after this, the station building was converted to a guest house and a number of former Pullman lounge cars converted to camping coaches have been relocated here from Marazion in Cornwall as sleeping accommodation.
