Description
Oakham Railway Station is a railway station built in 1847. It is constructed of red brick with buff brick dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with brick ridge and end stacks. Designed in the Italianate style, the station has a recessed center flanked by cross-wings and outer single-storey wings. The main facade is two-storey with a five-window range, including three 2-light casements in the center and single glazing-bar sashes with arched heads and margin lights in the wings. These sashes are set within recessed giant arches that have an impost band.
The ground floor features a loggia-like porch at the center, supported by four square whitewashed piers, with doorways and two 12-pane sashes. The cross-wings also contain 12-pane sashes within the giant arches. The station has wide projecting eaves supported by pairs of shaped brackets. To the left, there is a single-storey block with additional doorways and glazing-bar sashes, while a similar block to the right also has glazing-bar sashes, including three with arched heads and margin lights immediately to the right of the main range.
On the platform side, there is a cast-iron canopy with decorative ironwork, along with further 12-pane and other glazing-bar sashes on the ground floor and three 2-light casements on the first floor. The entrance includes part-glazed panelled doors with overlights. The station forms a group with the Oakham Level Crossing Signal Box and the Oakham Level Crossing Footbridge.
