The derelict remains of the signal box and part of the former goods yard at East Winch were for sale in September 2007. The box was still standing in March 2009; parts of the box were later used during the building of a new signal box at Thruxton on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.

Seen in March 2018, East Winch station buildings had been converted to a dwelling. The end wall of the house, formerly of exposed knapped flint and brick has been rendered, as have the outbuildings. In the background the brick-built waiting room on the up platform remains but has lost its ornate chimney. A track, marked ‘private’ runs along the former track-bed. There is no trace of the level crossing gates.

East Winch former station house, seen in March 2018, nicely updated and rendered is not immediately recognisable as a station building. This view is taken from the south approaching the location of the long-dismantled level crossing. The railway line was in front of the trees in the right-side background.
