A single platform and siding were provided on the southern side of the line at the western end of the Venn Cross tunnel.
The station's location, in a cutting 666 feet (203 m) above sea level, meant that it was prone to being blocked by snow.
One of the signals was of a special design with a central pivot to allow it to be seen through Venn Cross tunnel.
A crossing loop was installed with a second platform in February 1905.
The station had a signal box on the westbound platform.
The goods shed and the western end of the platforms were in Devon, while the main station buildings were in Somerset.
Goods traffic was withdrawn from 30 September 1963.
The station building and the station master's house are still in residential use and the goods shed has also been converted into a house.
Some GWR railings and signals remain nearby.
