They come in all shapes and sizes, and were once purely the domain of beach goers sheltering from a downpour or taking respite from the sunshine for a quick bite to eat or a warming cuppa. However, today, beach huts are a whole new ball game and some have interiors that may just wow.
Of course, as the popularity of these little seaside havens increases, so does the price and according to the latest data the average price of a beach hut has risen by more than £10,000 in year. A beach-side 'hut' will now set you back, on average £50,336, says Rightmove. That's a jump of 28% from last year's average of £39,382.
So why are they so popular? Rightmove’s property expert, Tim Bannister, said: “Beach huts have become increasingly sought after over the past couple of years as more people headed to the British seaside for their holidays".
