The Old Station Masters House

Residing within a superb 6.9 acre plot on the rural borders of Marchington is The Old Station Masters House, an exceptional Victorian residence benefitting from contemporary open plan living, four double bedrooms and far-reaching rural views. Dating back to 1895, this handsome period home has been extensively refurbished whilst retaining elegant original features, alongside a contemporary extension to the rear to create a much desired open plan family space. Beyond the 0.3 acre formal gardens is a superb 6.6 acre paddock with a 40ft agricultural barn, being ideal for leisure use or as equestrian facilities, with this Victorian home combining the appeals of a peaceful rural living with the convenience of being within a few minutes of the village centre.

Accommodation inside the property extends over two floors, being well proportioned and showcasing original coving, architraves, doors and sash windows alongside an upgraded finish throughout. The central reception hall opens into a formal dining room, cloakroom with ample storage and to the kitchen, which extends into a dining area and on in turn to stunning living space with vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace. A pantry and laundry room are also accessed from the kitchen.

The first floor landing leads into four generous double bedrooms, serviced by a modernised family bathroom and guest en suite, with all bedrooms enjoying stunning views. The principal bedroom suite also has an en suite bathroom and a range of fitted wardrobes, with double doors opening out to a balcony overlooking the gardens, land and countryside views beyond.

Positioned at the end of Station Road, the property benefits from parking for a number of vehicles as well as a double garage, large car port and gym, with double gates also presenting additional parking to the rear. Formal gardens enjoy complete privacy and access into the 6.6 acre paddock beyond, where a large barn which has power and water presents excellent opportunity for conversion into a stabling for equestrian use. The Old Station Masters House is serviced by an Air Source Heat Pump, Solar Panels with a Tesla battery, a 2024 boiler, double glazed windows and a private drainage system.
