Posting this as a reminder of those days when the UK experienced the odd glimmer of sunshine and even…blue sky!
I stumbled upon this ‘hidden’ bathroom while interviewing Martyn Colebrook for a Coast feature about his wonderful laid-back eco home in Selsey, West Sussex.
A ‘secret’ panel on the bookshelves accesses this fabulous glazed room. Once you push a certain book, the door opens gently and – hey presto – you’re greeted by the sight of this extremely inviting sunken bath.
The breath-taking sea views from Martyn’s home inspired composer Eric Coates to write the well-known By The Sleepy Lagoon melody that became the signature tune for Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
I reckon this beachside pad is one of the coolest homes that I’ve written about to date. It’s an idyllic retreat where you can flee the fast pace of life, wind down and chill, either inside, out – or even in that bathroom which has to be one of the best examples of bringing the outside in!
And, the great news is that Martyn’s coastal home (featured in the March 2013 issue of Coast) is available to let through Holiday Rentals and for film and photographic location shoots through Wilde & Watson.
