The outside areas of station house are detailed below. Most of the perimeter is fenced or walled as shown with the exception where Station House meets the road. A substantial fence separates the railway property across the entire border, and this must not be crossed.
The upper lawn is a few feet above the rest of the grounds and nicely surrounded by walls and trees to stop it being too exposed. It's a nice flat lawn the best for camping or outdoor activities. It measures approximately 12m x 8m and is only accessed from the lower lawn.
The lower lawn is directly next to the games room and can be accessed by the door at the end of the
games room. There is a slabbed area for seating and a gate to the road. It's a functional area for activities,
and camping if the upper lawn is in use. The lower lawn measures 13m x 10m approximately. To the side of the games room there are additional seats/tables and a BBQ.
The campfire circle is a larger irregular shaped area of 20m by 18m at maximum. This area is ideal for
