The Old Station is a single-storey, stone-built former railway station dating from 1875, set in about 0.5 acres of landscaped grounds just outside Bruton. The house offers three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, with accessible, all-on-one-level living ideal for downsizers or families wanting long-term, step-free accommodation. The Garden Room, positioned where the platform once stood, provides bright living space with underfloor heating and uninterrupted country views.
Practical benefits include a gravel driveway with parking for up to four cars, a shed with electricity, a small paddock and a gate giving direct access to a jointly owned field beyond the garden (vendor’s share may be available to purchase separately). The property is freehold and not listed, so there is flexibility for future alterations subject to any required permissions. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and local crime is low.
Known negatives are factual: heating is by oil (with underfloor heating in part) and the Energy Performance Certificate is D. Council Tax sits in Band E, which is above average. There is a right of way over the tarmac forecourt off Old Station Lane and a survey is recommended; the vendor reports no known building-safety issues, but a chartered surveyor should confirm the property’s condition.
Overall this is a distinctive, characterful home offering privacy, generous outdoor space and countryside vistas within a few minutes’ drive of Bruton’s amenities and schools. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a peaceful rural retreat with immediate single-level living and the scope to personalise the property further.
