Carrog station house for sale

[M7R]

Cottage for sale with its own train station and platform

It's on the market for the first time in 30 years but you'd better be fast if you want to be its new owner

Not a good sign I’m guessing, been a few years since I have been on Llangollen railway, but i remember the station always being open, a tea room and nice fire in winter on the Santa train.

I won’t lie it’s tempting as the pub up the hill is amazing!

The article includes the following:

.....But this renovation love has extended into the building next door that houses the ticket office, complete with glass partition still in place, booking hall, and the adjacent passenger waiting room, which is now a tourist tea room. The owners have recreated the passenger areas of the property as a representation of the 1950s, stepping back in time decades to when steam trains would trundle into the station and come to a screeching halt at the platform. The ticket office, booking hall and tea room are leased to Llangollen Railway so the owners can enjoy an income from the site without once having to put the kettle on for visitors themselves.

Outside, as well the majority of the east platform, the property comes with two garages, parking, a private rear garden and a paddock, amounting to around 0.39 of an acre.

Carrog Railway Station House, and all the unique extras that come with it, is for sale for £400,000 with Cavendish Estate Agents. Call their Ruthin branch on 01824 703030 to find out more, including all the ownership and leasing details.

The underlining is my stress - it would seem that the 'operating' part of the building will continue to 'operate'.

I visited the line for the first time last year and thought it was a beautiful spot. I’d love to buy it.
