The red and white brick station, nestled next to a tunnel, is in need of modernisation.
But the station could be turned into a family home that's just the ticket.
The former rural station in Anglesey still has a ticket office, toilets and several waiting rooms.

There is a lamp room accessed via an external door at the end of the station.
The stationmaster would have used the room to refill the oil lamps that were needed for any signals and light before gas or electric was used.
Inside the building also has marble fireplaces, solid brick walls, windows, long benches and a unique scent of lamp oil and grass cuttings.
Back in its heyday, the station served the central railway line across the Isle of Anglesey from Gaerwn to Amlwch.
