East Front Road, Pagham, PO21

Full description

Whilst there had been some residential settlement around the Harbour, dating to the Middle Ages (Pagham is estimated to have been the third richest parish in England at one point, and under the stewardship of Thomas à Becket), Pagham Beach was first populated in the 1920’s.   As was done in several places along the coast (including Dungeness where Derek Jarman famously made his home) first generation Victorian Brighton and South East Railway rolling stock were adapted and turned into holiday homes.

Henry Adams are proud to offer this beach property with a pair of original teak railway carriages at its core.  Rebuilt from scratch around them in 2014, the property has a South facing beach window sliding into the ground to create a stunning indoor/outdoor open plan main space.  With oak flooring to complement the teak carriages, this includes a large sitting room/dining area open to a snug with a log-burning stove, and a quality fitted kitchen with integral appliances, a central island and a raised woodblock breakfast bar. 

Forming the sides of the main space, one carriage is dedicated to a principal bedroom suite with dressing area and bathroom, and the other to a study/bedroom and the snug. On the garden side, the newly built extension includes utility room, shower room and WC leading to two further bedrooms and a covered sun deck with sliding doors leading to the large garden.  The garden facing wall as well as the extension are clad with weathered sweet chestnut.

The property is set in generous grounds with a mature garden on the North side (away from the beach), and wide shingle corridors to the East and West creating ample space from its neighbours.

A large new-build sweet-chestnut clad garage and a separate and unrenovated two-carriage property on the West boundary are also available for sale by separate negotiation.
