This 3-bedroom house is a handsome stone-built former railway station in Christon Bank, Northumberland. Built during the East Coast Main Line's heyday in the mid-1800s, this three-bedroom property sleeps six and retains striking railway heritage features. The station platform has been converted into a long conservatory, which makes it a genuinely one-of-a-kind stay.

The Northumberland coast is a short drive away. Embleton is 1.5 miles away and Embleton Bay's golden sands are just beyond that. Walk the coast path past Newton Point to Football Hole Beach where seals, seabirds and dolphins are regularly spotted. Beadnell Bay is 7 miles away offering sailing, sea kayaking, windsurfing and scuba diving.

The property has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two king-size rooms each have Freeview TV, while the twin bedroom has an en-suite shower room. There's a spacious lounge with bay windows and a Smart TV plus a well-equipped kitchen/diner with an electric range-style oven and American-style fridge/freezer.

Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick Garden, Lindisfarne and Northumberlandia are all within easy reach. One dog is welcome.

This rental suits families, couples and dog owners wanting a genuinely characterful base for exploring one of England's finest coastlines. Check which dates are free and book your railway-heritage stay.
