Description

Property Description: Down a private lane you will find Station House, which is a unique property nestled in the old, redundant Somerset and Dorset Railway Station, in the hamlet of Masbury. It is a tranquil and nostalgic setting complete with a converted signal box on-site, adding an element of history and nostalgia.

The house itself is charming and as with any converted building, has a quirky feel. The hallway leads into one of two spacious living rooms, both featuring cosy log burners for those colder months. This living room has a snug and intimate feel, enhanced by bay windows at the front and back, allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. The vintage wooden floors and log burner add to the room's cosy charm. The larger living room has French doors that open out to a beautifully maintained lawn, which was once the station platform and is now perfect for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the views. A rustic stone hearth surrounds another log burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This generous space comfortably accommodates a large dining table, sofa, and chairs, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.

The kitchen is a perfect mix of modern convenience and rustic appeal, featuring a range cooker, dishwasher, and a small electric two-ring hob. A beautiful Butler sink sits under a wide window that frames picturesque views of the gardens. Also on the ground floor there is a well-appointed family bathroom, with a shower over the bath. Beside the bathroom is a versatile room, ideal for use as a study, office, or an additional double bedroom. A separate utility room houses the oil-fired boiler and washing machine, providing ample space to store household essentials and keep things organised.

Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are equally enchanting, each with antique Victorian fireplaces that add a touch of elegance. Throughout the first floor are the original pitched pine wood floors. A large, bright window above the staircase bathes the landing in natural light, offering a lovely view of the surrounding landscape. Each bedroom has a built-in cupboard with windows overlooking the old railway line.

Dating back to 1874, this rental property is a rare opportunity to live in a home full of history, character, and unique appeal away from the hustle and bustle of city life - A true escape to the country.


Outside: To the front of the property is a fenced garden mainly laid to lawn with an outside storage shed and the gravelled parking area adjacent. There is ample parking for at least four cars. To the rear of the property is a level lawned area that was once the old station platform. This area of garden is accessed via the French doors from the living room and is a great place to take in the scenery.

Location: The picturesque city of Wells has a bustling High Street and provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (Waitrose being the closest), a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop Walks, as well as a twice weekly produce market. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Stoberry Park School, St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School, St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School and The Blue School as well as independent schools including All Hallows Prep School, Downside, Millfield and Wells Cathedral School (being the closest).
