Description

This historic property, formerly the St Helens Train Station built in 1877, presents a unique opportunity for investment and renovation. The house has been transformed into a spacious family home with many period features, yet it retains significant potential for enhancements. It comes with a self-contained first-floor flat and extensive grounds of approximately 12.6 acres that include mature gardens, woodlands, and even disused tennis courts that could be repurposed. The interiors offer a flexible layout with seven bedrooms, several of which are ensuite, as well as formal reception areas characterized by high ceilings and large windows that frame picturesque views of the surrounding nature reserve and marshland. While the kitchen is dated and several spaces would benefit from rejuvenation, there are approved planning applications for further remodelling which can enhance its value. The strategic location between St Helens Green and Bembridge provides both scenic coastal access and an array of local amenities, making it an attractive prospect for those willing to invest in its restoration.
