This historic home for sale is a restored railway station which has views over the rooftops and countryside.
The Station House, in Tavistock, is a former station master’s home, which was awarded ‘best restored railway station in the UK’ in 2011.
The property was built in 1889 along with the station’s platform for the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway.
The station was closed in May 1968, but remained the home of the former station master and his wife until 1999.
