This historic Station House, once a vital part of the Isle of Wight's rail network, presents a remarkable opportunity for investment and renovation. Originally constructed in 1877 and operational as St Helens Train Station from 1882 until the line's closure in 1953, this property has been home to the same family for nearly seven decades. The residence boasts significant charm with its period features, including ornate brickwork and lofty ceilings. The main living space is particularly generous, featuring a conservatory that captures stunning views over the expansive grounds which include approximately 12.6 acres of marshland and various outbuildings.
The layout offers flexibility with seven bedrooms, several of which are ensuite. There’s also a self-contained first-floor flat complete with independent access—ideal for guests or rental potential. Outside, the disused tennis court could be repurposed into additional amenities such as a swimming pool or garden studio. The extensive gardens and woodland areas provide plenty of scope for landscaping projects or further development.
While the property retains many original features that enhance its historical significance, certain areas would benefit from modernization—particularly the kitchen and bathrooms—which offer an excellent starting point for refurbishment efforts. With planning permission already secured for extensions and improvements (LPA Ref No: 24/00411/HOU), this is an exciting prospect for anyone looking to restore a piece of history while enhancing its functionality.
Nestled between St Helens Green and Bembridge with proximity to local amenities and beautiful coastal walks, this unique estate holds potential not just as a family home but also as an investment opportunity worthy of exploration.
