Kielder 8.5 miles. Saughtree Station was once a working railway station, consisting of a Station Masters House and a ticket office with waiting rooms. The Station Masters House has been fully renovated and is now a delightful semi-detached retreat nestled in the picturesque countryside near Kielder Water and Forest Park and Newcastleton, Scottish Borders. The property is accessed along the original platform and there is a lovely old diesel engine to add to the authentic feel of a station. Offering lovely views and convenient off-road parking, this welcoming home is the ideal escape for families or friends seeking a peaceful break surrounded by nature’s splendour. As you step inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped to cater to all your culinary needs throughout your stay. Just next door, a practical utility room is home to a washing machine, ensuring you have everything required for a hassle-free visit. The heart of the house lies in the inviting sitting room, featuring a Smart TV and a comforting woodburning stove, perfect for those chillier evenings when you’d rather stay in and enjoy a film. Outside, a private rear garden awaits, offering a well-kept lawn, a patio area with furniture, and the perfect spot for a summer meal al fresco. A barbecue is also provided, ideal for those long, sun-dappled evenings, while a small stream adds an extra dash of charm to this peaceful outdoor haven. Walk from the front door, along the now disused Border Counties Railway, towards Riccarton and the adjoining Waverley Line in one direction or Kielder Water and Forest Park in the other. On a clear evening enjoy spectacular views of the Milky Way, and occasionally, the Northern Lights. The area is steeped in history. Discover the Reivers’ Trail and the turbulent past of the region or follow in the footsteps of Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots. Adventures await when you stay at Station Masters House.
