Aylesford Station

Aylesford Station is a railway station built in 1856 for the South-Eastern Railway. The building is constructed from random dressed stone with ashlar quoins and dressings. It features a plain and fish scale tiled roof, with a left end stack on the left wing and a right end stack on the taller central block, both of which are corbelled out from the gable. The upper parts of the stacks have been removed, leaving tall square plinths. There is a projecting stack on the front of the outer right-hand wing, and gable parapets with kneelers and ridge crestings adorn the roof.

The station is 1½ storeys high, except for the inner right-hand wing which is 2 storeys, and the outer right-hand wing which is 1 storey. The central block features a central gabled semi-dormer with gable parapets and kneelers. The first floor has one bay, while the ground floor has two bays, all with 2-light mullioned windows that include hexagonal lozenge lattice iron casements. The central entrance has a depressed pointed arch and later 20th-century glazed doors with an over-light.

The left wing consists of one bay with a gabled semi-dormer that has a parapet and kneelers, containing a sash window above a 2-light mullion window with hexagonal lozenge lattice iron casements. There is a one-storey extension to the left with a single lattice casement to the right and a coped parapet. The inner right wing has one bay with lattice casements, while the outer right wing features a lower blank coped gable end that is abutted by a one-storey gabled block at the front and right. The previously mentioned stack is located on the front face, with an arched doorway and a single lattice casement in the left-hand re-entrant angle. The design of the station matches in style and materials with the nearby school.
