Description
Faversham Railway Station, dating from circa 1858, was constructed for the East Kent Railway line. The down side is built of yellow brick with red brick dressings, featuring a hipped slate roof. The central section has six round-headed sash windows with vertical glazing bars, horn detailing, and red brick voussoirs and impost blocks. A central round-headed doorcase is present, topped with a fanlight within a pedimented surround, sitting on a plinth. A wooden canopy is supported by iron brackets with a scroll pattern. To the east and west are lower, one-storey buildings in yellow brick, the eastern one with a cambered arched casement window, and the western one with a red brick cornice and four cambered casements. The booking hall retains its original carved wooden ticket office, featuring wooden pilasters, a glazed continuous fanlight, and three tiers of wooden square framing with vertical planking behind a plinth.
The up side mirrors the down side in design, also circa 1858, and constructed using yellow brick with red brick dressings and a hipped slate roof. It also has six round-headed windows with vertical glazing bars, a round-headed doorcase with a pedimented hood, and end brick chimneystacks. The two buildings are connected by two contemporary white glazed tiled underpasses.
Two central platforms are present, each featuring identical platform buildings. These are built of yellow brick with red brick dressings and are connected by a very long wooden jettied canopy supported by iron girders, brackets with a scrollwork design, and eight cast iron columns. The pavilions nearest the underpass on each platform feature three cambered tripartite windows (one on the downside platform converted into a door), three cambered sashes, a cambered headed doorcase with a cambered fanlight, and a four-panelled door with the top two panels glazed. A central pavilion features seven cambered casements, while the end pavilion has six. Each platform also contains a square wooden ticket booth. Iron spear railings with circle patterns near the base border the underpass.
