Fancy living next door to the Queen? Well, now you can, as a Grade II listed former station master's house on the 20,000-acre Sandringham Estate has just entered the property market.
Occupying a wonderful spot adjacent to Natural England's reserve at Wolferton, Station House is positioned next door to the former Wolferton Railway Station — which was famously used by several generations of the royal family when visiting Sandringham House.
The three-bedroom family home captures the nostalgia of a bygone era. Step inside and you'll find a covered entrance porch retaining its original tiling, versatile reception rooms positioned to the south easterly aspect, a charming fitted kitchen centered around an AGA, and a triple aspect garden room looking out over the sprawling lawns.
There's a real sense of space in the home, thanks to high vaulted ceilings and dual aspect windows. Other stars of the show include the dining room with a coved ceiling, the living room with its impressive turret, and an original fireplace — perfect for warming up on a chilly day.
The gardens are, as you would imagine, particularly beautiful. Enclosed on all sides by a combination of brick walls and cast iron railings, the outside space includes mature hedging, a separate pedestrian gate, pretty planted shrubs surrounding a terrace area, mature shrubs, and luscious lawns for all to enjoy. It really is the most tranquil setting.
Wolferton village, situated just two miles from the Queen's country house, is a peaceful rural location home to the 13th century St Peter's church. Conveniently located, it's just a short drive from the picturesque North Norfolk coast and is surrounded by ample walking routes.
This property is currently on the market for £1,195,000 with Sowerbys.
