Dungeness, Kent
On the wild headland of Dungeness are 30 homes that started life as 19th century railway carriages. Facing the vast strip of shingle and the sea is one for sale. It’s a long, white beach house with an industrial, shed-like look. Inside, the carriage forms the living room – there is still a carriage number and a sign reading ‘no smoking – first class’. The lateral home has three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom. Dungeness has two pubs, a fish hut and the Snack Shack, which serves freshly caught fish and crab rolls. £875,000.
