Black Grace Cowley are delighted to present Station House, an exceptional detached residence occupying one of the Isle of Man’s most distinctive residential settings. Originally constructed in 1874 as the station house for the historic Port Soderick Steam Railway Station, this remarkable property has been sympathetically restored and transformed into an outstanding family home, seamlessly blending its rich Victorian railway heritage with the comforts of modern living.
Extending to approximately 3,000 sq.ft., the property offers an abundance of versatile accommodation arranged over several levels, creating spacious living areas perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. Throughout the home, original architectural features have been carefully preserved, celebrating its fascinating past while complementing high-quality contemporary finishes.
The welcoming entrance immediately reflects the property’s history, featuring the beautifully restored original ticket office hatch with ornate stained-glass detailing. The impressive principal reception room showcases bespoke oak craftsmanship, a striking staircase leading to the mezzanine level, a Lacunza multi-fuel stove and direct access to the front terrace overlooking the railway. The mezzanine provides an additional reception room, creating a superb family space with access to the rear gardens.
At the heart of the home is the charming breakfast kitchen, fitted with quality cabinetry, Silestone worktops, a traditional oil-fired Aga and integrated appliances, complemented by a practical utility room and ground floor wet room.
The first-floor accommodation continues the generous proportions found throughout the home. The elegant principal bedroom enjoys views towards the historic railway line and benefits from a dressing room and beautifully appointed en-suite featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and underfloor heating. Three further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom provide excellent accommodation for family and guests alike.
Outside, the property’s unique setting is equally impressive. The landscaped rear gardens have been thoughtfully designed across a series of terraces, incorporating decking, paved entertaining areas, mature planting and peaceful seating areas that perfectly complement the surrounding countryside. To the front, a granite-paved terrace provides an exceptional vantage point to enjoy one of Britain’s oldest narrow-gauge steam railways as heritage trains gently pass by.
Despite Station House’s extraordinary location alongside the railway platform, the station remains exceptionally quiet, with very low passenger usage, allowing owners to enjoy its historic surroundings in remarkable peace and privacy.
Situated just minutes from the beautiful Port Soderick Glen and beach, yet within easy reach of Douglas, Station House presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own not simply a home, but a significant piece of Manx railway history—beautifully restored for modern living and unlike anything else currently available on the market.
