Located on a no through road in the popular village of
Copplestone, this unique property is part of the former station
building. Its position to the end of the working platform is a
wonderful setting and certainly a part of railway history. Believed
to be one of the last properties of its type in Devon and Cornwall,
it is a wonderful and quirky home. It is a semi detached bungalow
on a level plot with parking and a lovely garden to the side which
also adds to its appeal.
The property has undergone a full renovation which is nearing
completion by the current owner and now offers quirky yet
comfortable accommodation on one floor. Theres character throughout
but mixed with a modern kitchen dining room with a vaulted ceiling,
mains gas central heating, a beautiful master bedroom with high
ceilings, a family bathroom and the second bedroom is versatile
with built in bunk beds and a desk to suit a range of uses. Theres
uPVC double glazing and about to be fitted are two hardwood
external doors to complete the look. The property has had new
plumbing and electrics too plus some extras such as a generator
input and the gas boiler can run from LPG bottles should the need
arise. Theres been a great deal of work done here and it maybe
possible to extend into the loft subject to building regs or add a
carport garage subject to permissions .
Outside, there is a parking area to the front and the remainder
of the garden has new timber fencing. Pathways lead past the
kitchen door to a shed and then into the level side garden, approx.
13m x 10m which is mainly lawned. There is an additional vehicle
access at the end of the garden which has been recently re stoned
for additional parking with gated access.
Agents Note
There is a gate from the garden to the platform and further area
of garden. Although this area has been used by the current and
previous owners, it isnt part of the property being sold.
Upon launching the property to the market, there is still some
garden works, plastering, painting, carpet and doors to be finished
so please bear this in mind and it will be done prior to
purchase.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
