Train enthusiasts can now live in a 1922 first-class railway carriage that's been transformed into a home you can rent.

The grade II-listed London and South Western Railway carriage boasts two ensuite double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen and is set in picturesque Horsebridge Railway Station in Hampshire's Test Valley.

The green painted carriage, which once ran through the now disused station as part of a service carrying World War II troops from Salisbury Plain to Southampton, can be rented for £1,095 a month.

As well as carrying troops, the train also transported horses and ammunition to Southampton, before they were shipped to France

As well as carrying troops, it transported horses and ammunition to Southampton, before they were shipped to France.

However, it was mostly used for moving agricultural supplies and carrying fishermen through the Test Valley, which is known for its trout fishing and water meadows.

Known as the 'Sprat and Winkle Line', because of the seafood transported on the service from Southampton to Andover, the line was closed in 1964 - a victim of the Beeching cuts to British Railways - a re-structuring of railways across the country.

The historic station was derelict for 20 years before it was bought by commercial property surveyors Anthony and Valerie Charrington in 1985, who restored it and added the carriage

After its closure, the historic station was derelict for 20 years before it was bought by commercial property surveyors Anthony and Valerie Charrington in 1985, who restored it and added the carriage.

The carriage is available to let through Pearsons estate agents in Romsey.
