A modest beach hut with no running water or electricity is on the market for \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n
The 9ft by 7ft timber cabin has a prime ‘front row’ location at idyllic Friars Cliff Beach in Christchurch, Dorset.<\/p>\n
It offers an interrupted vista of south coast beauty spot Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight.<\/p>\n
The hut is for daytime use only and cannot be slept in overnight, unlike the luxury cabins at nearby Mudeford which sell for \u00a3400,000.<\/p>\n
The new owners will have to use a communal toilet block further along the prom.<\/p>\n

The modest beach hut with no running water or electricity is on the market for \u00a3100,000<\/p>\n
On top of the six-figure asking price, they will also have to pay the standard annual licence fee of \u00a31,249.24.<\/p>\n
The huge asking price is said to reflect Britain’s booming beach hut market which has taken off ever since Covid.<\/p>\n
Estate agents Spencers Coastal say in their brochure: ‘A unique chance presents itself to purchase a beach hut situated on the front row at Friars Cliff Beach.<\/p>\n
‘This sought-after location offers convenient access to a nearby cafe, parking and toilets.<\/p>\n
‘From the beach hut you can enjoy expansive views stretching towards the Isle of Wight across Hengistbury Head.<\/p>\n
‘It is a special opportunity to own a beachside retreat in this very desirable spot.’<\/p>\n
George Jones, agent at Spencers Coastal, added: ‘The price is all about its desirable location and front row position.<\/p>\n
‘The beach hut market is booming with prices soaring in the past decade, especially after Covid.<\/p>\n
‘There have been offers already and we expect it will go soon.’<\/p>\n

The Covid pandemic saw demand surge to a new high as the inability to travel abroad meant people were prepared to pay a premium for staycations – but things do not seem to have eased off since.<\/p>\n
In nearby Mudeford, Dorset, beach huts can go for a whopping \u00a32.1 million, making them Britain’s most expensive cabins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The timber cabins, which sit on the remote and exclusive Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset,\u00a0are worth more than the price of a four-bedroom house in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n
Tim Baber, a local resident and former hut owner, said the huge prices are worth it. He said: ‘The new owners are buying in to a family friendly place – there hasn’t been an arrest there for years whereas there are arrests at Bournemouth beach every year.<\/p>\n
‘The rates are really high – \u00a34,500 and increasing – but there are people that will pay them.<\/p>\n
‘I sold mine in 2005 for \u00a3120,000, when we thought prices couldn’t possibly go any higher and now they’re up to \u00a3400,000, which is absolutely bonkers.<\/p>\n
‘The thing is it is worth it. The memories you make there will last all your life.’<\/p>\n
