Take a look inside this incredible £1.49million home on the Queen's Sandringham estate

1/7

Ever fancied being neighbours with the Queen? Well now you can, as a new luxury home on Her Majesty's Sandringham estate has gone up for sale at the princely fee of £1.49million. Ashbee House used to be the ticket office for the Wolferton railway station where the Queen and Prince Philip would arrive travel whenever visiting their Sandringham home.

Crowds would frequently form at the station with residents hoping to catch a glimpse at the royals, but in 1969 it was agreed that the station would be closed to cut costs, meaning the Queen has since travelled to nearby King's Lynn whenever she visits the Sandringham estate.

Four properties were created from the redundant station buildings, and one of them – Ashbee House, has now been put up for sale for £1.495m with Bedfords of Burnham estate agents. The five bedroom, three bathroom home is located within a private 1.4 acre site, and is perfectly decorated. Click through the gallery to take a look inside…

Ashbee house lies on its own 1.4 acre site with perfectly manicured gardens. Part of the original train track still lies in the garden, and has been incorporated into a decorative clipped-box hedging that has been shaped into the former logo of British Rail.

Many of the bedrooms previously served as the ticket offices, and all have vaulted ceilings with timber shelving that would have once been used to store travellers' luggage. With fitted wardrobes and cabinets, and stunning garden views, they are perfect to accommodate families or any guests.
