It was during his visits to Norfolk to see his close friend Lord Suffield.
Now known as East Norfolk House it was originally a working station on the East Norfolk Railway Line.
The converted three-bed home in Thorpe Market, near Cromer, Norfolk, still boasts its original platform, meaning the next owner will be able to watch Greater Anglia trains whizz by from their own garden.
Set in 1.1 acres, the grounds include formal lawns, vegetable plots and wild areas, while inside are three en-suite bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and a modern kitchen.
The property is being marketed by Sowerbys, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The listing reads: “Gunton Station was originally commissioned to serve the Gunton Hall Estate and Lord Suffield.
“Its design and fit-out were completed with royal standards in mind, as the station was regularly used by King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, during his visits to Norfolk to see his close friend Lord Suffield.
“While the full details of those weekends away may remain part of more colourful local lore, the construction of the station was certainly made fit for a king, with its distinctive architectural detailing and impressive proportions still evident throughout the property today.
“The original platform remains a striking feature of the grounds, an iconic reminder of the building’s past, now offering a unique outlook as trains continue to pass by on the active Greater Anglia line, connecting Norwich with the North Norfolk coast.
“Set within grounds extending to approximately 1.1 acres, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to offer a variety of distinct spaces.
“Formal lawns sit alongside productive vegetable plots and areas of wild natural beauty, creating an ever-changing backdrop across the seasons.
“To the west, open countryside provides uninterrupted rural views, enhancing the sense of peace and privacy that defines this exceptional home.
“Internally, the property continues to impress.
“Generous reception rooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers celebrate the building’s original structure, while large windows allow light to pour in throughout the day.
“The living spaces are both welcoming and versatile, ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection.
“The accommodation comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offering both comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.
“The layout has been cleverly designed to maximise the unique footprint of the original station building, with careful attention paid to retaining period features while introducing contemporary convenience.
