Description
Godalming Railway Station is a railway station built in 1859, possibly designed by Sir William Tite, for the London and South Western Railway Company. The station is constructed from rubblestone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof, showcasing a Tudor Revival style. It is primarily a single-storey building, with the exception of the former Station Master's house, which is two storeys with an attic.
The station consists of seven bays, including a one-bay parcel office, a two-bay former Station Master's house with a lean-to against a projecting gabled bay, a two-bay booking hall, a projecting one-bay office, and a flat-roofed one-bay toilet block. There are additions at either end of the building that are not of special interest. Architectural details include quoins, a chamfered plinth, Tudor-arched board doors for the house and toilet block, and stone-lintelled openings. The windows feature wood mullions and transoms, and the chimney stacks are shouldered and quoined with brick tops.
On the forecourt elevation, the booking hall has a double door with Caernarvon-arched glazed upper panels, and a wide four-light window to the left. A canopy supported by decorative, corbelled iron brackets has cusped eaves. The gabled bay to the right includes a four-light bay window with a parapet, a blind spherical-triangular opening in the gable, and a raised verge with moulded kneelers and ridged coping. The Station Master's house features a door in a porch to the left of a three-light window, with a similar window above, a two-light attic window, and a one-light window on the first floor of the left bay, along with a first-floor band and cusped barge boards. The parcel office on the far left has a two-light window and a bricked-up door.
The railway line elevation is similar, with a platform canopy supported by iron columns at the left end. The gabled office has a canted bay window and a Victorian wall letter box. Inside, the booking hall features a boarded roof with V-strut trusses and iron king pins.
