The property

This truly unique property is a flatted conversion forming part of the detached former Trinity Rail Station (circa 1853) It enjoys a tranquil, sylvan setting beside an off-road cycle and walk way, the Trinity Path, which leads to the city centre 2 miles away. The flat will suit purchasers (and rail enthusiasts) prepared to undertake cosmetic improvements. The layout (57 sqm) provides a south facing sun porch and living room, an internal hall, kitchen with breakfast bar, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, bathroom and a study. It has character and retains some of the old rail infrastructure such as the frontage and the platform. The living room was originally the station waiting room. Dating back to 1853, this stone building now comprises four properties. The station opened in 1842 and closed to passenger traffic in 1967. Gas Central Heating The property benefits from gas central heating operated by a boiler which is regularly serviced.
