The station served generations of royals before closing in 1969
A former railway station on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, near Wolferton, has gone on the market as a three-bedroom home for £1.25 million. Wolferton Railway Station opened in 1862 and was used by generations of the Royal Family travelling to the estate before it closed in 1969. Wolferton Railway Station is listed for £1.25 million after being converted from its original railway use. The station closed in 1969, but its former royal suite and public waiting rooms now form part of the residential property.
The Grade II-listed building has since been converted into a residence and now includes a breakfast room, drawing room, and dining room, according to The Sun. The property is being marketed by estate agent Landles, which says a recent renovation was carried out to a high standard. It stands on a half-acre site on the same road as Marsh Farm, the home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The Grade II-listed property stands on the same road as Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor moved in April after leaving Royal Lodge. The station is only a few metres from his home. Its location has placed the former railway building on the market as a potential home for someone seeking to live close to the royal estate. The royal suite and public waiting rooms now form part of the residential estate. Its Grade II-listed status recognises the building’s listed heritage, while the conversion has given the former station a new use as a private home. The property is being sold as a three-bedroom residence rather than as a working railway station. The grounds and internal rooms are part of the residential offering, while the building’s former use as a railway station remains central to its history. The property’s combination of listed status, former royal connections and residential layout distinguishes it from an ordinary home listing, although the source does not provide further details about the renovation or the individual bedrooms.
