This striking holiday home was a pump station built during WWII to support the D-Day landings. Its conversion into a beach-side hideaway was so impressive that it was featured on George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations, and it’s easy to see why. Concrete walls are softened by stone grey tones, warm wood, and luxurious furnishings in this stunning home. This is a cosy, comfortable abode with underfloor heating and a log fire. Five floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the surrounding nature reserve – you’ll be perfectly positioned on the Dungeness Estate, on a shingle beach 3 miles into the English Channel.
