A commuters dream residence - Cumbrian property comes with request stop train platform out the back.<br />
<br />
Rail buffs should be well chuffed with this dream property - on the market for offers in the region of £215,000.<br />
<br />
Bootle Station in Cumbria, which was once the scene of a dramatic wartime explosion that cost a driver his life, still runs as a request stop on the Cumbrian Coast line from Carlisle to Barrow.<br />
<br />
Trains pass by the property daily, but the station is no longer staffed and the building, which was once the railway waiting rooms, has been converted into a quirky two-bedroom home.<br />
<br />
The house, made of red granite and sandstone, was built in the 1850s and has the original station clock, which still works.
