DESCRIPTION

A unique opportunity to own a piece locomotive history: This former Station Waiting Room (and toilets!), dating back to 1848 is a timbered Furness and Red Sandstone railway structure in traditional British Rail Colours; Station House is located on the active Carlisle to Barrow Line and has a significant amount of land bordering the railway line which could be developed further. The property was converted into a dwelling house in the 1930s and now with sympathetic internal modernisation it offers spacious accommodation and elevated Patio. Station House is a Visit England 4 star graded 2 bedroomed holiday property currently advertised through various mediums and enjoys a high occupancy. The timber-clad exterior has been carefully preserved and Station House still retains its chocolate box charm ideally located on the Cumbrian Coast in the popular village of St Bees; the start of the Coast to Coast Walk, a few minutes’ walk from the Beach and just a few miles from the Lake District National Parks with all the major tourist sites with easy distance.

Inside, Station House has been modernised, fully Gas Central Heated and lovingly decorated to create a warm and welcoming space. The lounge (3.61m x 3.92m) comes complete with comfortable sofas and a log-effect electric wall mounted heater – perfect for nights curled up in front of the wall-mounted TV.
