Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This quirky home is full of charm and fascinating architectural design. A salvaged Victorian railway carriage has been incorporated into the design of the home, which boasts retro and urban styling – you’d never guess from the simple white cottage exterior. There’s a pool table and a wood-burning stove for cosy nights in, but most of your stay here will likely be spent exploring the shingle beach just a few steps away, or admiring sea views and the dramatic backdrop of the power station on Dungeness beach. This area is a great choice for wildlife enthusiasts – don’t forget to bring your binoculars.
