reminds me of elwood's apartment ...

Jake: How often does the train run by here?
Elwood: So often, you won't even notice.0 -
Definitely not. Way, way, way too close to the railway line. Nothing to do with any noise. (or lack of it.)Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

I can see the quirkiness factor but, realistically, definitely not a good buy. How would you sell it? Your market would be ridiculously limited. The thought of people standing about literally two feet from your house waiting for a train up to sixteen times a day almost puts me off more than the trains themselves.0

On the negative side, Fairbourne is not expected to last long term, which may explain the low cost: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-26125479
Returning to Essex now.
Besides the railway line, there's the reason for the low price.0 -
I would imagine that station, as a public space, would attract bored youths milling around.
How long until they realised it was empty for long periods?Been away for a while.0 -
Cripes I'd forgotten I had posted this and then could not find where it was.
Anyway, thanks for all your input I had no idea about people having to move away due to the flooding.
Such a shame really as I could see it being a good place for walkers to stay/plus the tea shop idea sounds good.
Being near the train line would not bother me.
Just shows how the heart can rule the head and then all goes pear shaped
Especially reading the BBC link0
