Historical notes:

This property was built before 1876, when the Salisbury & Dorset Junction Railway opened in January 1876. It was originally 2 cottages, one for the Station Master for Daggons Road Station (named as such to avoid confusion with Aldershot), the other for another railway employee. The railway closed on 4 May 1964, and the cottages have since been combined and modernised and are now a beautiful three-bedroom detached home. The tracks originally ran through what is now the back garden, and then through a bridge under Daggons Road. The current dining room french doors would have opened straight onto the platform. There is considerable documented history of the house and station online. A useful resource, with many historic photos is on the disused-stations website. Search there for daggons_road.
