Render over brick, shallow pitch asbestos slate roofs, hipped
to wings, overhanging eaves with modillion cornice, tall
rendered stacks with moulded caps.
Plan: 2 blocks on north and south sides of railway line; the
larger (south) block containing the booking hall with
adjoining pavilion to east, thought to have been the station
master's house, now offices; single storey, 5-bay north range,
walls abutting east and west of both ranges.
Main range U-plan with L-plan pavilion: 2-storeys with
single-storey pavilion, 2:5:2 bays, all sash windows without
glazing bars, moulded entablature to window openings with
keystones, alternate round-arched and cambered heads, flat
string course, ground floor with continuous entablature,
paired windows to outer bays of central range, inserted
doorway left, similar to booking hall via central bay,
fanlight with double, half-glazed doors. Similar fenestration
to pavilion, linked by lower 2-bay corridor, square-headed
entrance adjoining, one window in re-entrant angle.
Platforms: cast-iron columns with simple decorative spandrels
supporting canopies to 'up' and 'down' lines. There was
formerly a single-storey canopy on the facade linking the 2
wings of the booking office.
Walls: rendered. 3-bay to west with segmental-headed blind
arcades, flat coping, terminating in square piers, shallow
buttresses on exterior elevation.
Portslade Station first opened in 1840 on a slightly different
site and closed 7 years later. The present building of 1857 is
little altered.
