  • The whole house has some interesting choices, some of which work well together and others… not so much. Most of it would have cost a lot when it was done, and seems to have been very well cared for since.

    It would make a cracking movie set, and I kind of hope the new owners do something sympathetic to it and keep the better bits, though that’s unlikely.

    Can’t really imagine who would have lived here, other than that they’re probably in their late 80s now, and that they had at least three children. The ad said something which suggests the owner is a builder and that their building company built it.



  • £25k is about normal for these huts.

    Also crazy with parking spaces, though in some locations & use patterns, would come in a lot cheaper than paying for parking adhoc.

    This is not the case for beach huts, as you can sit on the beach for free.

    It might be tempting if you have kids who are into watersports, but it isn’t secure enough to store expensive equipment so you might still be into hauling that on and off the beach every time, most beach hut rules do not permit you to store small sailing boats (lasers, dinghys, etc.) and many don’t permit storage of anything except in the summertime. It is common for these to have tight restrictions on your disposal of the hut by sale or in a will & on what you must do in the event it is washed away in a storm or vandalised.

    So you have a shed on a very busy, stony beach, which you can’t do much with, anc which will have high ongoing costs. If people find £25k an acceptable price, that’s up to them, but it is crazy.

    Anyhow, I believe the ad was posted here because it was listed as a one-bedroom house, which it objectively is not. If you’re caught sleeping in your hut, you’ll find it repossessed very fast, and yes - they do check.
