PROPERTY
There can be few more interesting and unique places to stay than in a converted Pullman Railway Coach, and judging by the
numerous accolades this wonderful business has achieved the public certainly agree.
Due to retirement, the current owners are now looking to sell this thriving Bed & Breakfast/small hotel business. They are
therefore offering a fantastic and rare opportunity for someone to purchase a long standing and successful hospitality
business, or perhaps even for someone to purchase the property with a view to converting it into an exceptional family
home. Either way, a purchaser is buying an important and fascinating part of English history. The present owners high
standards together with the charm of the property has led to a consistent 90%+ occupancy all year round and this together
with substantial forward bookings, makes this an excellent business proposition.
There is also the potential to grow the business further with planning having been granted to build a replica of the original
signal box and previously an orangery to the rear of the property.
The Old Railway Station centres around a quite stunning dual-aspect principle reception room which has been converted
from the former waiting room. As is seen throughout the property, this room typifies the wonderful blend of original
features, charm and history with modern, comfortable and practical living.
