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.
