The Historical Tram, First Class Carriage- Tiny Home with spectacular Views. The Tram is a beautifully restored lower deck first class Tram carriage. This Historic Tram was built by the Wallasey Tram Co. in 1902, offers bespoke holiday accommodation. The Tram is unique & quirky & has lots of original features, a few additions including woodburner, 1 double bed, indoor/outdoor cooking & seating, kitchen, fridge, microwave, bbq, everything you need, veranda with spectacular views down the valley to distant mountains & private garden. Bathroom with flushing loo & hot shower. The Tram once had two spiral staircases at either end which provided access to the top deck, (check photos for what it used to look like) unfortunately, we only have the lower deck, however, the lower deck was the much more opulant first class carriage and this shows in the lovely attention to detail that was created when craftsmen built it in 1902c. Made from wood It has beautiful carving, fret and filigre woodwork inside and lovely beveled glass quarter light windows, many of which still open. We have kept the inside simple to not interfere with the authenticity of this beautiful space. Our Tram was number 75 as found on the back of the door during restoration, however, there is a photo & video of number 78 (the last one they made) all fully restored by the Wallasey Tram Museum on their website. Inside is an open plan space with a glass fronted woodburner, 5’ wide comfy double bed (width of tram is 5’’ 10” so this is the length of bed), mains fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave, electric rings for cooking, electric heater, table and chairs, radio, games, OS maps leaflets of things to do in the area, all finished off with silk curtains and LED lighting behind the air vents. 1 original bench seat. Outside under the Veranda is the kitchen with sink, shelving with pots and pans, bins and wooden work surface,. This is all under the verandha that stretches around two sides of the Tram. Led lighting for outside dining with table and chairs, bench & Small patio area with bbq in the front and rear garden where the NEW bespoke flushing loo and hot electric shower is situated in the back garden about 10 feet behind the Tram in its own building. There are spectacular 40 mile views looking East down the Severn valley with mountains on either sides, spectacular sunrises. Ideal for getting away for it all, We are down a long track with no neighbours, only sheep, peace and quiet with spectacular views. Sorry, but we have to have a strictly ‘No Dogs’ policy as we are completely surrounded by sheep!
