1 & 2 Station House, Statioin Approach Dalton in Furness. LA15 8RA

Charming Historical Dual-Residence in Dalton-in-Furness.

The Main Residence is truly a testament to the history of the building which dates back to 1852. Formerly, it was the Old Railway Station building consisting of the ticket office, separate waiting rooms for Ladies and Gentlemen as well as WCs. Decades ago, a large portion of the building {excluding the stable & garage} was cleverly converted into a house and it has since been lovingly restored & renovated by the present owners, incorporating the stable & garage, into 2 impressive residences. Many of the original features including the high ceilings, shapely windows, doors & floors have been preserved retaining the old charm & character of this Victorian building. The second dwelling offers a more contemporary interior while still holding the original outer charm & features embracing its historical tone. Both living areas are of good proportions providing ample space for modern living.

We begin with the impressive Main Residence, 1 Station House. Stepping through the door, to your immediate left, you have access to the rather grand staircase which is graced with an original Gothic stone window letting in the sunlight. Ahead of you, is the bright kitchen area boasting a high ceiling with a range of attractive wood effect base & wall units, complementary black marble effect worktops and stainless steel splashbacks, integrated electric double oven, gas hob and stainless steel extractor fan. Breakfast bar/island with wood effect undercounter storage drawers, sits beneath a rear facing window. Within the kitchen is an under stairs utility offering further storage with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble drier. This area also houses the Gas Combi Boiler. From the kitchen, a wooden glass-paned door with original feature stone window-surrounds above allowing the light to flood through, leads to the Conservatory Porch which gives you access to the Rear Patio area

The front entrance also gives access to 2 further rooms both with high ceilings, plus a modern Shower Room. The first room boasts a fabulous original feature fire surround adorned with Spanish tiles and large UPVC double glazed windows allowing plenty of natural light in. Stepping into the next room, this, too, boasts a feature wall with a bespoke design and a fire creating a cosy atmosphere. A great space with dual aspect UPVC double glazed windows, a window seat positioned to bask in the sunlight.
Presently this room is used as a Guest Room. Having a sleek & modern shower room with a pedestal sink & toilet, this portion of the house could be segregated from the main living space to accommodate a teenager's bedroom & study area or can be a money spinner as a B&B.
Your options are endless.

The First Floor Landing gives access to the loft hatch offering more storage in the boarded out loft space. There are 3 good sized Bedrooms, the Master having a large built in wardrobe. All of the Bedrooms have beautiful Gothic style double glazed windows. A corridor leads to the Family Bathroom which is tastefully decorated comprising of a bath with a shower over, wash hand basin & vanity, toilet, Velux window and shelved linen cupboard.

The Second dwelling, 2 Station House, which was formerly the Old Coach House & Stables, offers its own separate entrance. All of the windows are UPVC double glazed.
This Upside-Down conversion has a more contemporary interior feel and is tastefully decorated throughout in neutral cottagey tones. The entrance to the property opens up to a Hallway with a rear facing window, access to the 3 ground floor bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as an attractive bespoke pine staircase leading up to the First Floor living space. The 2 ground floor bedrooms to the right, are both double bedrooms with a 3 piece shower room separating them. The two rooms have double glazed windows and high ceilings. At the far end of the hallway, to the left you come to a landing where the boiler cupboard houses the Gas Combi Boiler and a UPVC mahogany effect, glass-paned door to the back outside Patio. The very private & well proportioned Master Bedroom with dual aspect double glazed windows and high ceiling has its own full bathroom with a bathtub with a shower overhead, toilet, basin with vanity, mirrored cabinet situated above the sink with a shaving point and a little window.

The First Floor opens up to the impressive sized Living Room / Kitchen & Dining space where, due to its elevated position, offers lovely views of the surrounding area. The Living Area is spacious & tastefully decorated with daylight streaming through the four characterful dual aspect windows and the glass-paned door leading to the Balcony. This great room can accommodate a dining space for the entire family comfortably. The Kitchen has a range of modern base units & drawers with tons of storage, complimented by wood effect worktops incorporating the stainless steel sink, built-in oven, gas hob with stainless steel extractor hood, washer/drier and fridge freezer. Through the door off the living area, you step out onto your own private Balcony overlooking Dalton's countryside at its best!
Glass panelled walk-out allows you to view your surroundings while enjoying a meal for two, a cuppa with a friend or a romantic glass of wine or a pint in the evening. Not to mention an ideal platform to "train spot" the special steam trains that pass through Dalton Station on occasion!
