Station and Signals
The Old Station House & Signal Box (c) 2012 McCartneys LLP.
Continuing our railway theme, we move from an engine shed in the previous listing to a double–the-fun railway building set. A former railway station and railway signal box.
The house has flexible accommodation and nice views over the surrounding countryside. Outside there is a garden which incorporates the signal box which has been thoughtfully restored over recent years.
The Old Station House & Signal Box (c) 2012 McCartneys LLP.
Also within the grounds is a partly completed detached double garage with room above which could make wonderful self-contained accommodation if required. Just over half a mile from the river Severn.
Approached off a council maintained highway onto a gravel parking area providing access to the detached double garage/potential annex. From the garage a lawn with mature silver birch leads to a gravel pathway adjacent to the greenhouse and vegetable plots whilst leading to steps rising up to the large decking area which has lovely views over neighbouring farmland to distant countryside.
The garden is a substantial size and has been thoughtfully landscaped using former railway sleepers in places where possible. The garden is mostly lawn but also includes some flower and shrub beds, a feature pond, a well, patio area, former oil lamp hut and a brick built signal box believed to date back to about 1895.

Suspension Of Disbelief
Golden Oldie (c) 2012 Eddisons.
One of the principle pieces of magic that surrounds movies, films and the cinema is suspension of disbelief. Perhaps apply that theory to this enigma of a building adventure.
Just imagine what kind of home you could make here. The actual structure is going for a relatively small price. What an amazing thing to have a home within this building, and of all the eccentric things to do – actually keep the cinema part for its original purpose.
What an amazing thing to consider doing. If you do end up buying this and go that way please, please let us know. It would be fantastic to see how you get on.
