The constructional style of the stone built house wouldn't look violently out of place wherever 'millstone grit' was readily available as building stone, so there's a broad swathe of territory from Derbyshire up to the central belt of Scotland where they would be credible. Best fit is North Yorks northward into Scotland's central lowlands, the stepped gable end very much a feature of traditional architecture of Northern England and Southern Scotland, on the eastern side of both countries.
Millstone grit occurs in conjunction with the coal measures in these locations, so railway companies built plenty of lines there: I'd suggest L&Y, MR, NBR, probably CR, possibly G&SWR.
That's all very 'broad brush' and I expect both geologists and architectural historians will be sighing in despair.
