The two platforms are connected by an old, metal bridge. The main station buildings, along with the footbridge are Grade II listed.^[2]

The main station building has a long, low frontage with in a weak Tudor style. It is built from red brick with ashlar dressings and terminates in gabled pavilions. It has wide platforms, typical of LSWR stations from the era, when the London commuter market was growing rapidly. The footbridge connecting the two platforms is a plate girder with glazing and a roof, creating an enclosed walkway. The bridge is decorated with sunflower motifs.^[3]
