Description
Corfe Castle Railway Station is a railway station built in 1885 for the London and South Western Railway Company. It is constructed from coursed and dressed rock-faced Purbeck stone and features a plain clay tile roof that is both hipped and gabled, adorned with crested ridge tiles and moulded bargeboards. The building has axial and lateral stone stacks with moulded and weathered caps.
The layout includes a station master's house with a cross-wing at the south end, a booking hall in the center, and waiting rooms at the north end, all designed in the Victorian Gothic style. The exterior showcases a two-storey house on the right with a gabled cross-wing that has a rectangular stone bay window and three-light sash windows. There is a porch with a wooden canopy at the angle and paired sashes to the left. The one-storey and attic booking hall in the center features three sets of three-light sashes on the right with small side-lights, a central doorway with a shouldered arch, and glazed and panelled double doors, along with a hipped dormer above to the right. The single-storey waiting room on the left is set back slightly and includes three small sashes and a hipped roof with a louvred ventilator.
On the east side, there is a wooden platform canopy with gabled ends and an open roof, supported by four thin cast-iron columns with ornate pierced spandrels. The interior has not been inspected. The station was established during the construction of a branch line from Wareham to Swanage.
