About this property
Unique train carriage house overlooking Selsey beach!
Step inside a home like no other—built around two beautifully preserved first-class Victorian train carriages. It’s quirky, characterful, and completely unforgettable.
Selsey may be famous for its crab, but it’s also a Blue Flag beach perfect for swimming (bring swim shoes for the shingle), bird-watching at RSPB Pagham just a stroll away, or simply unwinding as you gaze out over the same sea views that inspired the Desert Island Discs theme.
When the coast gets breezy, retreat to the sheltered garden, a peaceful suntrap with plenty to keep kids entertained— toy box, rock pools, a great playground, and a brilliant little fish-and-chips shack nearby. (No arcades—just the good stuff.)
Inside, the house offers a spacious first-floor sitting room with sweeping sea views, simple but comfortable bedrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen for easy family meals.
