The Property
The Station Masters House is an attractive late Victorian property, originally
built for the station master of the adjoining former railway station (which
closed many years ago) on the scenic Settle to Carlisle line. Full of
character and charming period features such as original mullioned windows,
wood paneling and wrought iron fireplaces, the property is beautifully and
sympathetically decorated with a delightful homely atmosphere.
Elegant black and white Italian marble floor tiles run through the entrance
hall into the kitchen/dining room and recreates the feel of a grand station
waiting room. Glazed double doors between the two spaces allow light to flood
through from the windows to three sides in the kitchen. The kitchen features a
good range of bespoke wall and floor units in oak, including an integrated
dishwasher, full height fridge and full height freezer. A Lacanche range
cooker and Belfast double sink continue the period feel and there is ample
space for a table and chairs to seat at least six diners. Beside the kitchen,
a spacious utility room contains laundry and storage facilities, and provides
a side door out to the garage. A study with fantastic bespoke floor - to - ceiling
bookshelves in maple/burr elm (which can be purchased separately if required),
opens straight onto the patio and a handy downstairs WC is situated beside the
staircase to the first floor.
Two reception rooms; a family room and a sitting room/snug complete the ground
floor. The family room is a light, calming room with feature fireplace and a
door to the porch and garden beyond. The sitting room/snug has wonderful
three - quarter height oak paneling and harks back to the Victorian station
master days. This room also has a cast iron fireplace.
Stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor and the bright principal
bedroom with built - in wardrobes and modern ensuite shower room. Three further
very pleasantly decorated bedrooms are served by a smart bathroom with shower
over the bath. A hatch on the landing leads up to loft storage.
Externally
The Station Masters House is approached along a paved driveway offering
parking for several vehicles and access to the detached stone built garage to
match the architecture of the house. Large lawns covering two sides of the
property are bordered by mature trees and hedges, providing excellent shelter
and privacy, and a patio with beautiful ornate paving wraps around two sides
of the property; the perfect place to relax in the sunshine and enjoy al
fresco dining. Outdoor storage and gardening opportunities can be found in the
greenhouse and wooden shed, and the pond is a haven for wildlife.
