How does 駅まで歩いて五分 work? The word order feels strange.

This part literally breaks down like this:

• 駅まで = to the station
• 歩いて = walking / by walking
• 五分 = five minutes

So the idea is:

• five minutes to the station if you walk
• more naturally in English: five minutes on foot to the station

Japanese often builds time/distance expressions this way.

So:

• 駅まで歩いて五分の部屋 = a room that is five minutes from the station on foot

The て-form in 歩いて is functioning adverbially here, giving the means:
by walking.
