A truly beautiful train conversion, a stone’s throw from the River Test.
A truly beautiful train conversion, a stone’s throw from the River Test.. Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview TV
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Breakfast Bar, Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 2: Zip And Link 2 x Single (3ft) Beds Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Electricity, bed linen, towels a\nd Wi-Fi included. Enclosed garden with garden furniture and barbecue. Childrens play area. Ample parking. No smoking.. This wonderful property has to be experienced first-hand. A labour of love by the owner, who occupies the original station, this fully renovated carriage will provide a memorable and exciting holiday for up to four guests.
This 1922 carriage couples modern design with touches of historic charm. The open plan living space has a sofa, two armchairs, a TV and a fully equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms have new furnishings, the duvets and pillows are feather filled, with en-suite shower rooms and the light fittings in the living area are from the Orient Express.
Horsebridge Station was one of the stops on the Sprat and Winkle line after which the carriage got its name. With patio furniture for four and barbecue, enjoy the feeling that the train stopped just for you.
At the end of the station drive you’ll find the charming John O’Gaunt pub, a delightful place for a drink before or after a stroll along the famous Test Way, which follows the course of the railway line just 100 metres from the station.
There is ample parking, a play area for children in the garden, which is also suitable for a dog to run around. Table tennis is available on request. There is a resident friendly labrador, and Coco the cat.
Stay for a week or more to truly experience the magic of The Sprat and Winkle Railway Carriage for yourself.
