Inside a prepare station-turned house with carriages for rooms that has hit the market with a £975,000 price ticket
Step inside the Victorian train station that’s hit the market for £975,000 after its conversion into a quirky four-bedroom house.
The two-acre plot, located in Telford, Shropshire, comes with two converted train carriages overlooking the River Severn.
And while the exterior still resembles a train station, complete with gas lamps and a raised platform, the cosy interior has come a long way since its inception in 1863.
The house boasts solid wooden floors and matching doors. Tile lines the kitchen and round top windows decorate the bedrooms.
A tribute to Coalport West Railway Station hangs proudly on the walls and two rounded wooden doors lead would-be owners from the main house to the platform edge.
The train carriage exteriors have maintained their original look, with wooden steps propped against the narrow doors.

And each carriage has two or three bedrooms, respectively.
The motif of exposed wood continues along the carriages, which have been converted into holiday let properties and are flooded with natural light.
Berriman Eaton estate agents write: ‘Coalport is situated within the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO world heritage site, just a short distance from the town of Ironbridge itself.
‘Just a short distance from the popular Woodbridge Inn, Station House is positioned above the highest flood level along the old railway line linking Bridgnorth to Ironbridge, a famous walking and cycling route.’
A group of Reddit users have fallen in love with the property.
One wrote: ‘Shut up and take my money!’

While some found the prospect of inheriting a holiday let business daunting, others delighted in the unique features of the property.
‘My God, I love that,’ wrote one commenter.
Another said: ‘That’s so cool, I love this.’
