A beautiful 19-century home built within the Queen’s whopping 80,937,128-square-metre Royal Sandringham Estate has been listed for sale.
Yes, you read right – for the princely sum of (£1,195,000) $2.1 million, you could be veritable neighbours with the Queen of England and live on Her Majesty’s grounds.
Built in 1898, the elegant home sits directly next to the now disused Wolferton station, which, once upon a time, was a private station used by the Windsors to travel to their holiday home in Norfolk.
The charming abode belonged to the station master in period until the ‘Royal Station’ was decommissioned in 1969.
‘Station House’, as it is known, boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an abundance of features.
A Grade II listed property, the home’s exterior presents as a gorgeous example of period styling, while the house’s terrace affords occupants stunning, sweeping views of the verdant countryside.
Inside, the home blends old-world elegance with modern conveniences, with the kitchen featuring a particularly cool AGA cooker.
Station House isn’t entirely unique, however. When Wolferton Station was shut down, the railway stop comprised four separate buildings, which were all subdivided and sold as separate properties.
According to selling agents Sowerby’s, the residence presents as a “magnificent example of a beautiful home capturing the nostalgia of a bygone era.”
Considering what’s on offer, we’re inclined to agree with the estate agent’s statement.
And, not to put too fine a point on it, but anyone that buys this home will live literally 3.2 kilometres away from the Queen, whenever Her Majesty is holidaying at Sandringham House.
