Unique Railway Carriage Home on Selsey Seafront – Sleeps 7, 5 Bedrooms
Iveshead is a unique, traditional railway carriage holiday home right on the Selsey beachfront. Sleeping 7 in 5 bedrooms is a wonderful place to step back in time while enjoying all the comforts of modern living. Iveshead is a much-loved family holiday home with a rich history. It has been a cherished getaway for its owners since the 1970s, and it's easy to see why.
Despite thoughtful modernisation, Iveshead retains all the original railway carriage charm that makes it truly special. The central sitting room is the heart of the home, with comfortable seating for seven, a large dining table, smart TV, and cosy electric fire — perfect for relaxing together after a day by the sea.
The cottage offers five bedrooms, each showcasing the unique railway carriage features that give this home its character, and sleeps up to seven guests comfortably.
Bedroom 1: Double bed
Bedroom 2: Double bed
Bedroom 3: Single bed (2'6")
Bedroom 4: Single bed (2'6")
Bedroom 5: Single bed (2'6")
Both of the double bed rooms at the front of the property are sea facing and both have all the original railway carriage features including the carriage doors. The owners have decorated the rooms with some charming little railway carriage artifacts which just adds to the charm of this home. Both rooms, are cleverly equipped with wardrobes and drawers plus each have a dressing table area and mirror with chair. The owners have thought of everything in the uniquely adapted traditional home. The three single bedrooms are small but comfortable with a 2'6" bed in each and small drawer unity and mirror. Although compact this home is ideal for a group of 7 looking to enjoy the charms of a traditional seaside holiday.
The family bathroom is equipped with a bath and walk-in shower, while the fully fitted kitchen includes a small breakfast table for casual meals. A handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer ensures convenience for longer stays.
A small entrance porch provides a peaceful spot to sit, unwind, and watch the world go by — with views of the sea just beyond. Outside, you'll find private parking for up to three cars and a secure, sheltered garden, perfect for children to play safely or for friends and family to gather in comfort.
Whether you're seeking a memorable family getaway or a seaside retreat with friends, Iveshead offers a unique combination of history, charm, and modern convenience — all just steps from the sand.
