SEVENOAKS Bat and Ball TQ 55 NW Railway Station 3/168 II The entry shall be amended to read: TQ 55 NW SEVENOAKS Bat and Ball Railway Station 3/169 II
Railway Station. 1862, the original terminus for Sevenoaks before the main line was built in 1868. It comprises Station offices and waiting room with Station Master's House at the NE end. Built in London yellow stocks with string courses in red, dark blue and cream with dark blue slate roof. 1 storey to centre with gable end to SW and 2 storey Station Master's House at NE end. 9 windows in all. Both gables are plain barge boarded, the south west gable has a circular bricked-up window feature. The station gable ends (back and front) have a decorative red brick band of pseudo machicolations. This feature also runs along the top of the recessed walls under the canopies, back and front. The two double entrance doors and 4 windows are recessed into an entrance portico, with typical carved valance boards under the eaves. The portico roof is supported on 2 wooden columns plus brackets, the NE column retaining its hook and eye for the horses reins. The windows are segmental arched with red brick voussoirs and cream terracotta keystones and springers, each with trefoil motif. All windows are double-hung sashes, with horns on the upper sash and with one vertical glazing bar per sash. These glazing bars end in 'capitals' with responds in the top corners of the sash. The fanlights over the double doors are subdivided into a circle with two semi-circles below. The Platform side shows a single storey building with gable ends to right and left, each with plain barge boards and a bricked-circular window feature. The centre of the building is recessed, the eaves beam with its valance boards being supported on a single wooden column. Minor later extensions have been added at each end.
