Description

Dunblane Station, designed by William Tite in 1848, is a single-storey, three-bay, T-plan building with crowstepped gables in the Jacobethan style. The structure is made of red brick with yellow sandstone ashlar margins, which are painted white on the station elevation. It features long and short quoins, blocked architraves, and chamfered reveals.

On the south elevation, there is a door to the centre left and a stone-mullioned bipartite window to the bay on the right. To the left, a modern timber and plate glass addition has a projecting timber flat-roofed canopy. This addition connects to a formerly free-standing small gabled office at the southwest corner, which has two bays with regular fenestration and a three-bay timber addition to the south with a slated piended roof.

The north elevation has an advanced gabled bay in the centre, with a single window and door on the left return and harling on the right return. The east elevation features a blind gable end, while the west elevation, facing the station platform, has a single window at the gable end and a modern flat-roofed addition linking to the small gabled office on the right.

The building predominantly has 12-pane, timber-framed, sash and case windows, grey slates with lead flashing, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Inside, there is a modern ticket office and waiting room.

The footbridge is a segmentally-arched, covered lattice plate girder structure, supported by cast-iron piers with decorative gothic brackets.
