Description

An attractive parcel of land extending to 0.19 acres, formerly part of the Bristol and North Somerset Railway, with potential for a change of use (subject to permission).

Description.
An attractive parcel of land extending to approximately 0.194 acres (0.079 hectares), situated within the village of Camerton. The land is predominantly level and benefits from direct gated access from Bridge Place Road, a quiet country lane. Enclosed by mature trees, hedgerows, fencing and a traditional stone wall, the site occupies a private and sheltered position. The property offers a manageable parcel of land suitable for a range of amenity and recreational purposes, with potential for alternative uses, including residential development, subject to obtaining all necessary planning and other consents.

A unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Somerset's railway heritage. This land once formed part of the former Camerton railway, a Victorian branch line constructed to serve the Somerset coalfield and later featured in the celebrated 1953 Ealing comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt. The owner affectionately named the grounds ‘The Old Station Gardens’ in 1882 Camerton Station Opened to transport coal and minerals from Camerton Collieries which mined around 20 pits in the Cam valley, the line was then extended to connect to Hallatrow and the junction station in Limpley Stoke in Wiltshire which was opened in 1910, so truly a rare piece of the Great Western Railway History. Now adjoining the well-regarded Camerton Heritage Trail, the land retains a direct connection with the area's industrial past while enjoying a tranquil rural setting, making it of particular interest to local historians, railway enthusiasts and those seeking a property with genuine historical provenance.
