About this property
Let off some steam in rural Norfolk, staying in this one-of-a-kind converted train carriage on the tracks of Whitwell and Reepham Railway Station. A must-stay for train enthusiasts and families with little ones, this heritage railway is home to original steam engines, a museum, and a cafe/bar/restaurant. It’s located on The Marriott’s Way, a 26-mile stretch of footpath and bridleway designated for hiking and cycling along two disused railway lines. Linking Aylsham (8.5 miles) with the historic city of Norwich (14.5 miles), this route offers a fantastic opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside. Discover Norfolk’s wildlife in Foxley Wood (4 miles), a nearby walking destination carpeted with bluebells and butterflies, before dropping into your nearest market town, Reepham (1 mile). Take a day trip to the Norfolk coastline, heading to Holt (13 miles) before exploring Blakeney (18 miles) or Sheringham (18 miles).
Promising a beautiful blend of vintage accents and heritage design features, this fabulous train carriage holiday home is sure to dazzle at every turn. Though compact, the property has been cleverly designed to maximise space while retaining plenty of original charm. Step inside to find the living space, where you can settle down on the repurposed train seats opposite a Smart TV while the chosen chef cooks up something tasty in the well-appointed kitchen. Make your way along the carriage to reach two bedrooms, each a bijou space with beds neatly tucked against the walls to create room to move. The master bedroom offers a double bed and an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom boasts two sets of bunk beds perfect for up to four children and is served by a separate shower room.
Step out onto the decking via doors from the living area to soak up the peaceful atmosphere of the railway station backdrop. The decking features outdoor seating and lighting, creating a cosy space to dine alfresco and unwind as the sun goes down. Guests also benefit from an on-site cafe/bar/restaurant, as well as private parking for one car.
