Unlikely find in backyard of $2m country house for sale

An international home for sale caters to the kid at heart.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom property at West Street in Sparsholt, Oxfordshire, has its very own railway track that runs around the gardens. There is even a locomotive and wagons to hold passengers.

Deborah Giacobbi of Savills is the listing agent and the price guide is in excess of £1,395,000 ($AU2.6 million).

The detached village house in South East England was constructed in 1999 and is positioned at the centre of the block of land, with gardens at the front and rear.

Entertainment and leisure are at the forefront of the home with not only the railway track but also a terrace and garden room.

“Pretty summer house in the garden which endearingly serves as the station for the garden railway, which runs around both gardens and would offer hours of endless fun for railway enthusiasts,” the listing reads.

Photos on the listing reveal the railway track from different vantage points, set behind the property’s lush hedging and wrought-iron gates.

It’s understood the owners, who have lived in the property since it was built, added the railway track.

The home itself is charming with its patterned wallpaper and lattice windows. There is also a garage and an adjoining studio.

Oxfordshire is a county in South East England, with plenty of walking, cycling and riding opportunities. The property for sale is also around the corner from the local pub.
