Nunnington railway station (in North Yorkshire) was a small rural station on the Gilling to Pickering line. It opened in 1871 but closed to regular passenger services in February 1953 and fully in 1964. - I wonder if this house, that used to be a station, is still there, with the railway line, may be goods only still there ?

Michael — yes, the old Nunnington station house is absolutely still there, and the railway line itself is long gone, though the trackbed survives in places. Here is the full, grounded picture based on the search results.

Is the station house still there?

Yes. The former station building survives as a private house. It has been altered and extended over the years, but the original stone stationmaster’s house is still clearly recognisable.

You can still see it from the Nunnington–Oswaldkirk back road, just before the cutting at Caulkeys Bank.

Is the railway line still there?

No — the line closed completely in August 1964, and the track was lifted.

However:

• The trackbed remains intact in several stretches between Nunnington and Helmsley.

• A railway engineer recently photographed the route and noted that much of it is still clearly visible, including bridges and earthworks.

• The multi‑span bridge over the River Rye near Nunnington still stands.

So while no rails remain, the physical formation of the line is still present in the landscape.

Was it goods‑only after passenger closure?

Yes. After regular passenger services ended in February 1953, Nunnington remained open for freight:

• It was unstaffed from June 1953, downgraded to a public delivery siding.

• It continued to handle goods until the line’s final closure in August 1964.

There were even occasional excursion trains up to 1963 — shopping trips, ramblers’ specials, Sunday school outings, and a final charter from Scarborough.

What stands on the site today?

The station building is now a private residence, previously used as the Ryedale Lodge Hotel. The platform survives, though the trackbed has been raised almost to platform height. The old weigh office also still stands.

Here is the modern station house:

If you want, I can map the exact surviving route

I can trace the line from Gilling → Helmsley → Nunnington → Sinnington → Pickering, showing:

• which bridges survive

• where the trackbed is intact

• which parts are now private land
