Living on the right track

Fancy spending more time at the railway station? Not in metropolitan Australia, perhaps.

It might, however, sound more attractive if the station were a quaint stop along a picturesque steam railway line in Wales.

The stationmaster’s house at Roman Bridge, one of the quietest stations in Wales, has been listed by UK agents Strutt and Parker for around AU$775K. Built in 1879, the house has three bedrooms, three reception rooms, a little-used rail track and platform, and breathtaking views across mountains and valleys.
