Barnstable branch? Crediton.

Is it a staff room? the sink and water heater look like an afterthought put in to meet the Railway Shops and Premises Act.

My first instinct (before I even saw G.Uard's post) was Whimple.

It's not anywhere on the Tarka▸ (Branch line from Barnstaple to Exeter) Line.  Crediton is still a great tearoom.

First guess Whimple, second (wild) guess, North Tawton?
