5.9 Walmer Station AreaHistory/EvolutionThe railway from Deal to Dover was completed in 1881 and a cluster of Victorianhouses, a stationmaster’s house and a public house were soon built around thestation at Walmer. During the 20 th century small parcels of land between thestation and Walmer Village were sold off for development.General CharacterStation Road, Court Road and Mayers Road contain houses from every decade ofthe 20 th century and display a diversity of styles and materials. The area is enhancedby a grouping of mature trees at the east end of Station Road and to the south arepublic footpaths and locally valued views across agricultural land to the windmill atRipple. These provide an attractive transition from the predominantly developedparish of Walmer to the open countryside.Design DetailsScale - generally small to medium two-storey terraced, semi-detached anddetached propertiesRoofs - pitched with slate or red/brown tiles; some dormersWalls - various brick; some rendered, painted, weatherboarded or tile hungWindows - wide variety including Victorian sash, Neo-Georgian casement andpicture windows; some baysGardens - small to medium front gardensBoundaries - mostly low brick walls, some with hedges or fencesGarages - garages on many properties; mainly adequate parking; no garages oroff-road parking on Mayers RoadStreets - generally wide; roads in station area narrow and congested; limitedparking at the station for rail usersVictorian terrace, Court RoadTrees and green area, Station RoadDetached houses, Court RoadSemi-detached houses, Station RoadTerrace off Mayers RoadPanoramic view into the countryside Semi-detached houses, Station Road Terrace, west end of Station Road25
