Property description
DESCRIPTION Officially opened as a railway station in 1856 on the Oldham to Greenfield line, Station House was open for business for nearly 100 years closing its doors in May 1955. Bought as a residential property in the mid twentieth century the building was sympathetically re-furbished and skilfully extended to create a beautiful four/five bedroom family home that sits in approximately one third of an acre. Many original features have been kept, re furbished and reinstalled including gas lamps and cast iron radiators, there are mullion windows, stone sills, slate floors and period fireplaces. The extended part of this property also has underfloor heating. The most beautiful feature of this family home has to be the master suite's conservatory extension with its Juliet balcony and fabulous views of the garden. Every aspect of this property is fitted to an exceptionally high standard and offers all the conveniences of a modern family home, yet retains the character of the original building.
Accessed via electrically operated wrought iron gates from Station Road Grotton, the driveway is block paved and offers parking for plenty of cars. The garden is well stocked and landscaped with different tiers accommodating different patio areas for dining al fresco, children's play areas and a drying area. One of the patio areas is the original station platform. On the highest tier is a lovely wild flower meadow and dotted throughout the garden are storage sheds.
There are solar panels fitted to help reduce electricity cost and they also generate an income of over £1000 pa for the vendors, high speed broadband, an intruder alarm system and a remotely accessed closed circuit television system are installed, for piece of mind.
Internally the property offers very spacious accommodation with four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, ground floor WC and utility room to the ground floor. Whilst to the first floor there is a larger than average master suite with a stunning sun room extension that has a feature Juliet balcony, three further bedrooms (one being a single) and period family bathroom.
Located just outside the entrance gates to station house is a beautiful linear park where you can enjoy a walk to Springhead. Local shops include a florists and butchers.
This lovely house offers privacy yet is close to local transport links to surrounding towns and villages.
