Old Luckett Station, a railway enthusiasts' delight, is believed to date to 1908. The house is in a private and secluded, but not isolated position.

The accommodation comprises a porch, entrance hall, kitchen, 33ft sitting room/dining room, conservatory, study/bedroom four, utility room and bathroom on the ground floor, with two en-suite bedrooms, bedroom three with balcony and a bathroom on the first floor.

The property has an extensive gravel driveway and turning area which in turn gives access to the detached open-fronted garage/workshop. The grounds extend to about 2.5 acres and include formal landscaped gardens, lawns, large wooden deck, several water features, wildlife areas and pony paddock down to sloping grass with post and wire fence boundaries which leads to two turnout paddocks and a field shelter. The leisure complex sits behind the property and was constructed in the 1990s as a larger version of the waiting room.
