Eggesford Station, Devon. The Station House is for sale at a guide price of £365,000. This property is part of an active staion with over 30 trains a day stopping travelling between Exeter and Barnstaple. // A trainspotter's dream home has gone on the market - and trains still rumble past the front door every hour. The £365k property sits on the tracks of the 39-mile Tarka Line that runs between Exeter and Barnstaple in north Devon. Named The Station House, it was bought by the current owner Jacqueline Saint, 70, back in 2017 for around £200k as she and her husband "fell in love with it straightaway". The Tarka Line remains a working railway, with trains passing the former station roughly every hour.
