We are delighted and honoured to offer for sale 2 & 4 Station Road, Saintfield - one of Northern Ireland's most historic former Railway Stations comprising of three distinguished properties steeped in history dating back to circa 1856. Forming part of the Belfast and County Down Railway, which ran from Belfast to Newcastle, County Down, the railway station was opened in 1858 and subsequently closed to passengers in 1950.

The current owner has, over the years, painstakingly and sympathetically restored, extended and modernised the listed properties, yet retained and utilised many of the original features inside and out, including platform notice boards, signage, internal doors, fireplaces, the original ticket hatch and much more, creating a wealth of character and charm immediately evident as soon as you drive through the gates.

This is undoubtedly one of the most iconic properties to come onto the open market which offers so much history and opportunity to the lucky purchaser.

The entrance hall, formerly the ticket office still has the original ticket hatch in situ with a view into the former ticket masters' office, now the kitchen with a superb high ceiling and contemporary fitted units with matching island unit. Of particular note is the former waiting canopy which has been incorporated into the property to create a full length glass orangery, a key architectural feature, which runs the length of the station adding a contemporary edge to the original building. The spacious lounge with cast iron fireplace and open fire was once the general waiting room, whilst the former ladies waiting room is now a bedroom with en suite wet room.
