The Mid Wales line was closed by Beeching in 1962 and the station is now the Cambrian Guest House. The Upper Station was converted into three houses and is known as Llechrhyd Terrace. Number 1 is set in an elevated location and has been designed as an upside down house in order to take advantage of the panoramic views from the living accommodation, and the corridor that runs along the rear at ground floor level against the railway platform has windows with obscure glass above head height to give good privacy.
