Description
Station House is a double-fronted house constructed of mellow brick with a slate roof, situated at the edge of this much-loved village. It has been beautifully converted from a Victorian railway station that opened in 1853 and, in its heyday, offered a rural service on the North Eastern Railway. Station House has been elegantly restored and is now presented as a stylish four bedroom house with versatile accommodation that includes a ground floor bedroom suite and separate guest/ancillary accommodation. The house sits in the middle of a generous plot with ample off-street parking, lovely gardens and 360-degree country views. It is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Studio annexe with kitchenette, separate shower room, private terrace
Gated driveway and parking, gardens, outbuildings
Additional Information - The authentic character of Station House remains largely intact with the original station platform and canopy having been skilfully integrated into the garden landscaping along with the railway sleepers and old station clock. Internally, a combination of original and carefully sourced reclaimed features have been assembled within the spacious interiors, illuminated by 16-pane sash windows all giving fine views. There are wide floorboards throughout the ground floor, deep sills, stripped pine panelled doors with antique door furniture, fireplaces, traditional column radiators and a staircase with a mahogany polished handrail and volute newel post.
The 32 ft kitchen/family room sits at the heart of the house with French doors opening directly south onto the stone-flagged terrace and with generous windows to north and south; there is ample room to accommodate a family-sized dining table. At one end lies the sitting area with a wood-burning stove housed in a traditional fireplace, at the other is the modern fitted kitchen with wooden worktops, island unit with breakfast bar, integrated appliances and a range cooker. A useful separate utility room lies alongside. The elegantly proportioned sitting room is double aspect and has an open fire housed in a traditional fireplace; it gives access to a separate study with a west facing window. Beyond the kitchen lies a double bedroom, shower room and scullery with kitchenette. This area has an independent entrance and could form ancillary accommodation. On the first floor is a landing giving access to three lovely bedrooms and a house bathroom with a bath, sink and louvre shutters. All bedrooms and first floor bathroom benefit from high ceilings and glorious views through large, multi-pane sash windows. Bedroom 3 has fitted wardrobes and a walk-in cupboard.
The owner currently operates Station House as three high-end holiday lets. Along with the main house, there is the integral self-contained studio and The Parcel Shed which is adjoining but entirely independent and has its own garden entrance. The Parcel Shed is of timber construction and has a studio room that rises into the vaulted roof space. French doors open onto an elevated decking area that faces south across grazing pastures towards the village church. This annexe would work equally well as guest accommodation, an artist’s studio or garden retreat
Outside - A gated gravel driveway off Station Road provides off-street parking for up to three cars, and a garden gate leads to the traditional front door. The house itself is surrounded by enclosed private gardens bounded by hedges with fencing, predominantly laid to lawn, with ornamental shrubs, ornamental trees and paved terraces on either side. Coal drops/brick outbuildings on the far boundary offer scope for some development subject to planning consent. The views from the property are exceptional from all sides and, on the south, look out across green pastures with a venerable oak taking centre stage; beyond lie the rooftops and tower of Gilling East’s medieval church.
