An A-list celeb just bought this tiny house for $1.13 million

Ed Sheeran is the proud new owner of a $1.13 million antique train carriage.

The British singer and his wife have forked out for the Victorian-era carriage, plonked on a block in Romney Marsh, Kent, overlooking one of the world’s most famous stretches of water – the English Channel.

The 31 year-old Thinking Out Loud hitmaker and Cherry Seaborn, 30, have added the two-bedder to their impressive real estate portfolio, according to The Sun.

It looks not unlike a tiny house or granny flat that Aussies build in their backyards.

The carriage looks humble and is very small – the mattress abuts the front and back walls of one of the bedrooms – but it has been fitted with plenty of mod cons, and looks to be the couple’s new beach house.

Floors have underheating and it has been extended at the front and the rear.

Sliding doors open onto pavers and windswept grass.

The living room and kitchen, and bedrooms at the rear, are modern extensions to the original structure. In the antique carriage is a wood-burning fire and it has been kept true to its rustic roots throughout this middle section.

The contemporary living area is open plan and the kitchen is new, L-shaped and small, and overlooks a windswept garden that backs onto the Channel.

Even with creature comforts, this home is far less flashy than the Shape of You singer’s main family address. He and his wife bought the carriage last year but the sale has only just come to light. Agency The Modern House appears to have done the deal.

The couple, who have two young daughters, have also built a multi-home compound in rural Suffolk, reportedly costing $6.45 million. The estate includes two farmhouses, a main house, a bungalow, a football oval, an 8-metre tall treehouse, an outdoor kitchen and a pond.

The property is so sprawling – Disneyland-like in size and pits many components – that it has been dubbed “Sheeranville” by the British press.

Sheeran is touring and due to land for concerts in Australia next February, starting with a performance a Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, before stop offs in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
