It was perfectly normal for certain classes of railway employees, back in the day. Every signalbox, level crossing and station needed staff who lived either on-site or within walking distance, so the railway would simply build some houses on railway land for them - it was cheaper and more reliable than paying them enough to rent privately.
Crossing keepers, in particular, got a house right next to the crossing, with the block bells and any necessary controls mounted by the porch.
