Description
The building was first used as a residence in the 1960s when the then station master bought it. In the 1970s a comprehensive conversion to a residential property was commissioned by the new owner. It is a rare opportunity to purchase an operational station that has been converted into a home.
About the House
The property is only 4 minutes’ drive from Chequers, a fact which is believed to have saved it from Beeching’s railway cuts in the 1960s as the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, preferred to travel to and from Chequers by train rather than car. The station has the reputation of being the least used station in Buckinghamshire but in 1998 it received the British Royal Train. The G8 Summit was held in Birmingham that year and the wives of the leaders, including Cherie Blair and Hilary Clinton travelled via Little Kimble, before being transferred to Chequers by limousine.
Outside
A gravel drive, with mature raised shrub borders, gives access to a parking area. A five bar gate leads to the rear garden which is terraced and has a path leading down the garden between areas of lawn, further shrub borders and mature trees. At the end of the garden is a fenced vegetable, soft fruit and herb garden with raised beds. The gardens are bordered by hedging to the roadside and railings on the platform side. There are also two garden stores.
