1 bathroom Hidden in the grounds of a farmhouse in Slindon village just outside Arundel is this glorious 100 year old railway carriage is offered by Laura Lye Holiday Lets. There are 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room/kitchen and a tennis court! Adjacent to the carriage is a wonderfully spacious family room.
The carriage has been lovingly restored and guests will appreciate the incredible attention to detail and pretty furniture. It is located down a little path in the huge back garden and is a characterful addition to the Laura Lye Holiday let portfolio.
There is a small dining table, chairs, a sofa and a small television in the living room area of the carriage, together with a cooking area with small combi oven/microwave, electric hob, sink, under counter fridge and very simple cooking equipment. The master bedroom is small (the width of a railway carriage and a small standing area!) but has a full size 4ft 6ins bed. Bedroom 2 is a tiny bunk room with full size beds.
The bathroom has a shower, a sink, a heated towel rail and a normal flushing loo (no chemical loo here!) but do be aware that this room is very compact.
There is heating throughout the carriage in cooler months.
There is no internet at the railway carriage but 4G works perfectly so guests can hotspot from their mobile. Wifi can be accessed in the garden nearer the farmhouse.
Adjacent to the carriage the large family room has a dining table and chairs and plenty of space for family games. The washing machine and airer are located in this room.
Guests are very welcome to borrow tennis rackets and balls and use the tennis court and the owner will show you the outside areas you can relax, have picnics and ball games. There is outside seating and a BBQ for guests to enjoy during the warmer months.
The railway carriage is situated well away from the road in a tranquil and beautiful spot next to the tennis court in the garden, and adjacent to National Trust woods. The carriage is also located close to pony paddocks and stables on the other side of a fence so will appeal to horse lovers – but if you are allergic to horses or their environment this might not be the place for you!
Slindon is a beautiful village almost entirely made up of National Trust houses between Chichester and Arundel. There is a village shop and café and a pottery shop. There are incredible walks right from the door either into National Trust Woods or up into the South Downs, the South Downs Way being around 3 miles away. The beach is about 15 minutes drive away.
