A former royal railway station near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, once used by generations of British monarchs, has been converted into a luxury three-bedroom home and put on the market for £1.25 million. Wolferton Royal Station opened in 1862 and served royal trains carrying sovereigns from Queen Victoria to Elizabeth II, along with visiting European royalty and dignitaries, until passenger services ended in 1969.

The Grade II*-listed property, named Downside, has undergone an award-winning renovation and now features a central breakfast kitchen, three reception rooms and en suite bedrooms, including one in the former Royal Suite with its ornate Tudoresque ceilings and oak panelling. The 0.55-acre grounds include a "Queens Garden" and a converted signal box annex, while the site's history includes hosting three royal funeral processions and serving as a private retreat for the future King Edward VII, before falling into disrepair and being redeveloped following a 2001 sale.
