Marine DriveWest Wittering, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 8HQ

A once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this quaint and increasingly rare, seafront property designed around two railway carriages dating from the 1930's. It is a wonderful example of the rich history of seaside development in the area, the blend of the vintage carriages with modern comforts such as gas fired central heating creates a unique and cosy atmosphere. The Dodo, which has featured in several lifestyle magazines including 'Vogue' and 'House Beautiful', has tremendous income potential having been very successfully let for Self-Catering Holiday Accommodation for many years attracting regular guests. Because of this some prior notice may be required before viewing.

An excellent variety of local shops, cafes and restaurants are situated in East Wittering village centre approximately 400m away. There is a large parking area to the front of the property for five vehicles and from here you enter through double doors to a covered area with access to a large storage room suitable for storing bicycles, surf boards and SUP's. Opposite is a games room with sliding doors leading to an outside dining/sitting area and the private garden.

The main accommodation is accessed through a raised veranda into the entrance hall with linen cupboard and separate gas boiler cupboard, cloakroom with hand basin and w/c. From here there is a utility room containing a washing machine and tumble dryer with steps down and twin double doors accessing both the garden and the side of the property where there is, unusually, an outside roll top bath and shower with hot and cold water.

The space created between the two railway carriages creates the main living area incorporating a sitting area with wood burning stove and a peninsular unit separating the sitting area from the breakfast area and kitchen. With solid pine worktops and a 'Butler' sink, the kitchen features a gas fired AGA, dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker and fridge/freezer and there is also a walk-in pantry.

From the sitting area steps lead up to a raised dining area and snug, where one can really appreciate the amazing view. Sliding doors lead out on to the south facing, decked, outdoor sitting area with uninterrupted views. Five bedrooms are now housed in the two former railway carriages. These comprise three doubles, one of these has a sea view, wash hand basin and double doors leading out to the garden and beach, a twin and a bedroom with built-in bunk beds. There is an additional separate, sixth bedroom situated across the garden. The bathroom features a roll top bath with shower mixer, wash hand basin and w/c.
