Nick Millican, one of the UK’s most prominent and respected figures in the real estate industry, knows how desirable a beautiful beachfront home is to those with discriminating tastes. The former beachfront home of the legendary Pink Floyd manager Steve O’Rourke, who passed away in 2003, is on the market in Sussex for £3.5m.

This one-story, five-bedroom property, Beauty Point, has a fascinating history. The builders constructed the gray clapboard house around two 19th-century railway carriages. Later, it was famously called the “Pink House,” where Pink Floyd often had impromptu jam sessions. Nick Millican comments how O’Rourke sold his pad in 1997 to garden designer Elsebeth Gatacre for £162,000.

Gatacre was captivated by the home’s features, such as its mahogany floors, original windows, canvas roofs, and chunky brass handles. She gave the beachfront home an expensive, bright, and cheery makeover to add to its original beauty. And this is when the real estate agent Nick Millican comes in handy.

However, Gatacre wasn’t the only one who upgraded the home. The current owner, a film and TV producer, has added a sauna, an art studio, a fire pit, an al fresco dining area, and an al fresco bar from an old boat. As Nick Millican adds: What’s his favorite addition? The wooden hot tub.

The beautiful beachfront home has three bedrooms on the ground floor, nestled inside the former rail carriages, an open-concept kitchen diner, and a reception room with a “railway carriage bar.” Upstairs, Nick Millican finally states, besides the large roof deck overlooking the beach, are two more bedrooms and an office with an extra bed and a TV living room. The house is approximately 3,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 11 guests.
