This historic property, formerly St Helens Station, presents a remarkable opportunity for a transformative renovation. Constructed in 1877 and converted into a substantial family residence after its railway service ceased in the 1950s, it boasts expansive gardens of approximately 12.6 acres overlooking an RSPB nature reserve and the River Yar. The property's rich character is evident in its high ceilings and unique brickwork details, while the current layout includes seven bedrooms—four or five of which are ensuite—and a self-contained annexe with independent access.
The interior spaces, including a large conservatory and several grand reception rooms with sweeping views, provide ample scope for modernisation. Current plans have been approved to revamp the house into a chic contemporary dwelling, featuring open-plan living areas and enhanced outdoor amenities such as a swimming pool.
Set among mature trees with formal gardens, woodlands, and pathways along the old railway line, this property offers not only stunning natural surroundings but also potential for additional development on unused land. With recent planning permissions in place and various structures including garages and greenhouses waiting to be revitalised, this property is ideal for an investment that embraces both heritage and future possibilities.
