Oh we do love to be beside the seaside.
There are few things more quintessentially British than a row of colourful beach huts. With around 20,000 sprinkled across our coastline, these stamp-sized seaside shacks are hot property – with some fetching as much as £500,000. But most are more modestly priced, averaging at around £50,000.
As the sunnier weather picks up again, Rightmove has shared five fabulous (and more affordable) beach huts still available for sale. From Essex to West Sussex, these candy-coloured huts are ideal for seaside lovers to snap up while they still can.
'Many dream of owning their own space by sea, and on sunny days it's difficult to imagine a better place to be than right on the beach front,' says Tim Bannister, Rightmove's property expert.
