"**FORMER STATION HOUSE - SMALL ENCLOSED PADDOCK - ENGINE SHED AVAIL. BY SEP. NEG.**
Historic Victorian house with large gardens and grounds in tranquil rural Northumberland, only 5 miles from the main A697 road. Mindrum Station House was completed during the 1880’s as part of the North Eastern Railway Company branchline leading from Cornhill to Alnwick. The distinctively designed stone Station House is reported to have been constructed of Twizell Castle stone and now provides an unusual and historic family house standing in large grounds. The property includes the former station yard and engine house which is available separately by negotiation. The house is south and west facing with established lawns and driveway lined by cherry trees. The entrance porch opens to hallway leading to the large sitting room with windows to two elevations. There is a separate dining room or family room with access to the generous kitchen/ breakfast room and conservatory standing on the ground of the old waiting room. Cloakroom/ w.c. also included. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and shower room, with oil central heating and PVC double glazing included. Externally there are two good garages and storage area, gardens, small enclosed paddock and outhouse. Mindrum became the end of the line from Cornhill when the bridge was washed away during the 1947/48 floods. It remained important for goods transport right up to the closures in the 1960’s. This historic property lies approximately 5 miles from the main A697 road and around 12 miles from Wooler where there are day to day shopping facilities and schooling up to age 13. Berwick is around 15 miles away with a wider range of shopping facilities and east coast railway station.
