Railway goods carriage conversion in Bishop Auckland with garden and stargazing views
Converted Railway Wagon
Ted's Shed is a one-bedroom apartment created from a restored railway goods carriage. The renovation includes railway accents and a vintage color scheme throughout. A folder with photographs documents the transformation of the carriage into Ted's Shed.
Room Details
The kitchenette includes a toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, freezer, and a George Foreman grill. The sofa bed folds out into a double bed, and heating and parquet floors add comfort. Guests can stream Netflix and iPlayer by connecting the TV to their phone's personal hotspot.
Outdoor Spaces
The apartment has a private sun terrace with garden views and a picnic area with outdoor furniture. A patio and lawn overlook a field with horses, offering a quiet spot to watch sunsets and wildlife. At night, the location offers stargazing due to low light pollution.
