Description
Felixstowe Station features a railway station built in 1898 by J Wilson and W W Ashbee, who were the Chief Engineer and Architect of the Great Eastern Railway. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and has plaintile roofs. It is designed in an L shape, with the main concourse situated between two ranges, the southern range incorporating the station master's house.
The east entrance facade is symmetrical and has one and a half storeys. It consists of a three-bay hipped roof range with projecting gabled wings and a central octagonal lantern, with stacks at each end. The central range includes three segmental arched openings featuring brick and stone voussoirs. The central opening has a pair of glazed doors beneath a fanlight, while the side openings have three-light casements, one of which is blind. The symmetrical gabled wings have stone kneelers and coping, with semicircular coped gable heads on the kneelers and a stone band across the gable. Below gauged brick flat arches with accentuated keystones, there are three recessed sashes with glazing bars, all beneath flat hood moulds. Each gable has a single loop with stone dressings.
To the left, there is a single-storey range with three windows. The south facade, which is incorporated into a supermarket, retains most of the original features. It includes a two-storey range with nine windows and a lower wing to the east, featuring recessed sashes with glazing bars under gauged brick flat arches and a doorway with a bracketed canopy.
The concourse has an open roof structure supported by cast iron columns with decorative capitals.
