For any train enthusiasts out there - look out for an upcoming feature including our little house in Dungeness on the Transport Matters YouTube channel.
We always love talking about the history of our house in this unique spot on the Kent coast.
Our house is built around a Victorian SE&CR bird cage railway guards van which was placed on the beach in the early 30s by the Paine family. And it stayed in their family for many years.
Following this it became the Dungeness Smokery before we bought it in 2012.
We spent a long time renovating and restoring the cottage as you may have seen if you have followed us for some time and subscribe to our newsletters.
It was very hard work but was well worth it. We never fail to be excited when we open the door and see the spectacular view from our carriage/living room windows.
Stay tuned… lots of love Mark and Keith ❤️
