The station was opened by the Alton, Alresford & Winchester Railway in 1864, later becoming part of the London South Western Railway. The station was built with two platforms but one was taken out of use in the 1930s.
The station continued to be gradually run down, becoming unstaffed after 1967. It was finally closed in 1973 along with the rest of the line. The line was reopened as the Watercress Line (Mid-Hants Railway) but re-opening from Alton went only as far as Alresford. The station building has now been demolished and new houses built on the former track bed.
