Found in the heart of Christon Bank, this handsome stone building was once the village's railway station during the East Coast Main Line's heyday in the mid-1800s. Though the station closed less than 120 years later, the property continues its tradition of welcoming people with its striking railway heritage features. The golden sands of Embleton Bay are just beyond the local amenities of Embleton, which is 1.5 miles away. Nature lovers can venture along the coast path past Newton Point to Football Hole Beach, a small bay where seals, seabirds, and dolphins are frequently spotted. For water sports enthusiasts, Beadnell Bay (7 miles) offers sailing, sea kayaking, windsurfing, and scuba diving opportunities. This unique holiday home accommodates up to six people and welcomes one dog, making it a perfect pet-friendly getaway.
The property skilfully blends its traditional railway character with modern comforts. The spacious lounge features comfortable seating arranged around a large Smart TV, with books and games providing additional entertainment options. Bay windows flood the room with natural light. A door leads to a long conservatory – originally the station platform – offering additional seating. The contemporary kitchen/diner can be accessed from both the conservatory and main hallway, equipped with an electric range-style hob and double oven, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. A convenient utility room includes a washing machine, tumble dryer, and sink. The ground floor also houses a shower room off the main hallway. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms: two king-size rooms each with Freeview TV, and a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom with shower over bath completes the accommodation.
The property includes off-road parking for two cars directly in front of the building. While the cottage lies adjacent to the railway line and about 100 yards from a level crossing with services until about 11pm, good insulation ensures any noise is slight.
