A CONVERTED railway building that is incredibly spacious and provides fantastic surroundings is available for £595,000.

The Sidings is one of three properties in a private lane within the quiet and peaceful village of East Anstey, situated on the edge of the Exmoor National Park which offers endless opportunities for walking and riding.

The former East Anstey station was opened in 1873 but closed in 1966 due to the ‘Beeching cuts’. It was disguised as a Welsh station in a 1944 Ealing Studios film, "The Halfway House".

The property offers adaptable accommodation with many of the original features still in place including the original sliding door, and a large garden which incorporates the former railway line.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a lovely room with views down the garden and is well fitted with a range of units, breakfast bar, integral dishwasher, space for range style cooker and washing machine.

The dining area will accommodate a large table and has glazed doors leading on to the decking area from which one can enjoy the views over the garden, while the sitting room is a cosy room with fireplace inset with a wood burning stove.

Stairs lead from the kitchen/breakfast room to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, a good sized single bedroom and the well appointed bathroom with modern fittings including a roll top bath.

The house is only half of the original Sidings building, therefore there is a half that remains unconverted. This is large space and currently is used for storage and could be a workshop. There is also potential, this part also originally had permission to convert into accommodation.
