Another 'keepers' cottage that has suffered a fire. This is a Grade II listed Victorian railway-crossing keeper’s cottage at the west end of Bottesford Railway station. It was inhabited up until a fire on 2nd May 2016 (a year to the day). Since then it has remained fenced off and in a poor state. Although the roof is intact there looks to be quite a lot of fire and smoke damage to the property. Other than that can’t find much of this place.
