A magical train station with a two-bedroom home which formed the backdrop for the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films has gone on sale for £235,000.
The cosy cottage lies right next to the tracks at Beasdale Station - an operational railway station located in Druimindarroch, Scottish Highlands.
The home was converted from the Victorian station building used on the Jacobite heritage line which the Hogwarts Express steam engine travelled on as Harry Potter and his friends made their way to the school of wizardry.
The train station, which is a 20-minute walk from the Highlands coastline, is still a stop on the Glasgow to Mallaig line, meaning you can catch a train right from your doorstep.
You can also ask the train driver to stop at the station on the way back to Fort William by waving a handkerchief.
Estate agent Unique Property Company, who have listed the cottage, boasted that they have never tried to sell a home with 'more romance and such a big story behind it'.

Beasdale Station was originally built in 1901 as a private station for the nearby Arisaig House.
The cottage can be found in an idyllic part of the country which offers breathtaking scenery across the west coast of Scotland.
As well as two double bedrooms, there is also a bathroom and attic storage.
(Highlights of the property include a 330 square feet reception room)
(Beasdale is one of Britain's joint least-used stations and had no passengers in the 2020/21 period)
