Old Station House, Sedgefield TS21

Step through the front door of The Old Station House and you are immediately immersed in a rare piece of railway history, beautifully reimagined for modern family living. The internal living space is approximately 3,661 square feet, offering generous proportions throughout.

Originally built in the 1830s, this two-storey manor once served as the stationmaster's house, with a single-storey wing added in later years. Together, they form a substantial 45 bedroom detached home, brimming with character, charm, and thoughtfully considered upgrades.

Inside, period details echo its railway heritage. The dining room, lounge, family room, and family bathroom all boast beautiful curved ceilings reminiscent of a train carriage roof, while graceful arched features nod to the tunnels trains once passed through.

The lounge is an elegant room with an airy feel, perfect for entertaining, while the family room offers a cosy retreat with a log burner ideal for quiet evenings or curling up with a book.

A long, light-filled garden room floods the house with natural light and provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy the surrounding gardens. With its expansive windows and tranquil outlook, it is the ideal spot for morning coffee, relaxed reading, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning country-style kitchen a true showpiece of both style and practicality. With high-quality integrated appliances, abundant storage, and generous workspace, it's a welcoming hub for cooking, dining, and family gatherings alike.

The family bathroom is equally luxurious, featuring a central slipper-style freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, and elegant fixtures creating a spa-like sanctuary for relaxation.

Upstairs, the main residence offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, one with access to the loft space providing further potential for adaptation or storage.
