So thrilled with the coverage of Carole and David Sweetnam’s gorgeous coastal home in this month’s Good Housekeeping magazine.
This super couple’s stunning three-storey home, located right on the beach at Bracklesham Bay in West Sussex, was once a tired little bungalow in desperate need of a total renovation.
Thankfully, with help from their enterprising next-door neighbours Clare and Murray Johnstone, who own nearby seaside café, Billy’s on the Beach, the property has been turned into a striking New England-style beach house.
Carole explains: “David and his sister Sarah enjoyed many magical family holidays here when they were growing up, so it’s a very special place which means a lot to all of us. We’re thrilled that we are continuing that tradition – only now in 21st Century style.”
It was sun all the way for the fabulous shoot with photographer colleague Andreas von Einsiedel. We’d such a great day with Carole and interior designer Clare Lockwood.

If you fancy staying here yourself, the great news is that you can, since Long Island is available to rent. To find out more, browse Long Island at www.sussex-holidays.co.uk
