This is unusual it’s a house which has been built around a railway carriage. The bungalow looks fairly normal from the outside but inside is a 130 year old restored railway carriage. Jim Higgins has nearly completed the restoration of the carriage which he hopes to open the public once it is completed. The house was built around the carriage because planning rules stated it had stood there so long it couldn’t be moved. The property was originally built by his ex father in law, who tried to get planning permission for a retirement home on the spot. Finding the carriage could not be moved he simply built a home around it using the carriage as the bedrooms.
