The station is now a privately owned property at the top of Alexandria Road, Sidmouth.

The station opened on 6 July 1874, built and operated by the Sidmouth Railway Company to satisfy the needs of visitors to the resort.

The railway station was located a mile and a half away from the seafront and town centre.

Inside the building there remains part of the platform and the ornate metal roof supports.

The site has been completely redeveloped with a builders merchant built on the goods yard and an industrial estate on the passenger lines; a housing development (Bulverton Park, Bulverton) has been built on the trackbed to the north of the station.
