The home is set back from the road, accessed by a pebble pathway, and a charming blue door with a stained-glass border. Its exterior is lined with rows of glazing, affording the home a light, expansive aspect with views across Dungeness from every room.The entrance hall leads into the main living area, set within the beautifully preserved railway carriage. The retained carriage number and 'No Smoking First Class' sign give a wonderful character to the interior living space. The modern front and rear extensions were designed to bookend, protect and frame the train carriage and have been finished with a neutral palette, illuminated by the distinct natural light that pours through.Beyond the carriage, a light conservatory looks onto the sea. There is a wood burner to one side and plenty of space for a large dining table and seating area.On the other side of the plan is the kitchen, furnished with sleek, stainless steel counter space, perfect for preparing meals or social gatherings.The main bedroom has an en suite with a bath positioned for uninterrupted views towards the sea. There are two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, as well as a bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also off-road parking for two cars at the front.

At the rear of the plan is a pebble garden, which seamlessly flows into the surrounding landscape. Positioned in the estate's most sought-after area, it is south-facing, with direct access to the sea and uninterrupted views across the singular shingle wilderness of Dungeness.

Dungeness' striking landscape has garnered it the title of Britain's only desert. Its beautiful scenery has attracted a flourishing artist and architectural community.Derek Jarman’s former home, Prospect Cottage, is within walking distance. Recently protected by The Arts Fund, its garden is famous for its wildflowers, sculptures made from beach-found objects and saltwater-loving flora. Hastings Contemporary is nearby and has a world-class collection of artworks, including works by LS Lowry and Stanley Spencer.

There are two pubs on the peninsula, one at either end of the estate’s road, as well as a fish hut and the famous ‘Snack Shack’, which sells freshly-caught fish and crab rolls. Nearby New Romney has a Sainsbury’s and a useful high street.

Further afield, the picturesque town of Rye has some excellent independent shops and good places to eat and drink, including The George, The Standard Inn and Knoops Chocolate.

Dungeness is around 75 miles from central London (approximately 90 minutes from Greenwich). It lies around 20 miles from Ashford International, from which trains run to King's Cross St Pancras in 38 minutes. The house is also a 20-minute taxi ride (or a slightly longer bus journey) from Rye Station, which runs trains to King’s Cross via Ashford in just over an hour.
