Sibleys, in full known as Sibleys for Chickney and Broxted, was opened in 1913 by the Great Eastern Railway. As with other stations on the line it had a single low platform. The station had a booking office and an ex-GER coach body used as a parcels office [1]. This was later replaced by a former van body. The station had a siding with a loading gauge.
Sibleys was the name of a local farm, Chickney and Broxted being two nearby villages. The station was closed in 1952 along with the rest of the line.
