The property offers two well-appointed bedrooms, a double and a twin, along with a contemporary family bathroom featuring a large shower cubicle, toilet, and sink. A further enclosed lawned garden sits at the rear of the property.
Nestled in the heart of St Bees on the stunning Cumbrian Coast, this unique holiday home is ideally located at the start of the famous Coast to Coast Walk and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park. St Bees itself boasts a beautiful sandy beach, dramatic coastal walks, traditional pubs, and local shops. The village is also home to St Bees Priory, a historic Norman church with fascinating links to medieval history. Just five miles away, the Georgian town of Whitehaven offers a scenic harbour, museums, and a marina lined with cafés and restaurants. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, a heritage narrow-gauge track, provides a nostalgic journey through the picturesque Eskdale Valley. Further afield, visitors can explore the rugged beauty of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, or hike iconic peaks such as Scafell Pike. With the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line at your doorstep and an abundance of attractions nearby, Station House is the perfect escape for train lovers, families, and nature enthusiasts alike.
