Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has purchased a £3 million beachfront home in the southern English town of Hove.
He and his wife, Polly Samson, have hired an architectural firm from nearby Brighton to renovate the six-story structure, which is at the corner of Medina Terrace and King’s Esplanade, yards from the beach.
The home has six bedrooms, five baths, and includes a two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor.
According to the architect’s Web site, which lists the owners as “Mr. and Mrs. Samson,” the renovation will use low-carbon technologies and incorporate a solar water heating system, grey water recycling and a ventilation system with heat recovery.
The property previously belonged to Karron Eubank, former wife of boxer Chris Eubank.

Who cares about Dave Gilmour. UFO singer Phil Mogg lives in Brighton. Now THAT’s a rock star.
I wish DG would make a trip to the states.,Pittsburgh,Pa.
We love his music.
I am so envious. The only thing that would have made it better is if you said he was walking on the beach. I would hop a quick plane to Hove to hang out for a few eons! Love your story.
1. How I wish I fly there, next summer, from Italy!!!
