LizzieM 9,497 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Didn’t want to slot this into the Red Arrows thread and apologies for it to be nowt to do with Nottingham but a post by Margie about beach huts reminded me about this little yellow shed on Mudeford Spit, Christchurch. On the market at a cool £275,000. No running water, no electricity, no loo. Shared use of facilities in a shower/toilet block. Council Tax is £500 pa and ground rent is £4500 pa Nice sea view though and you can sleep in it from May to October. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 We walked by those beach chalets a few years ago and thought they were in a lovely location... but then I wondered what will happen to them when the sea levels rise..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I know you had family holidays down there when you were a kid Margie. We walked past them the other day, great location. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Not exactly a kid, Lizzie, but we had holidays in that area when our eldest was little, and he still likes to go to that area with his own family. The last time we were there, we went with them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just checked, the yellow hut was sold within 24 hours of marketing but not to worry, there are 2 more for sale, one at £285k and another at £300k. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Madness! You could buy the same thing in the north of Scotland for about ten bob! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 a) People have too much money to spend. b) Some people are born just too stupid. c) Greed. d) All the above. Anyone forking that sort of money out for a beach hut should be certified. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Beech huts. No toilet, no overnight stays. Even at ten bob they should be certified but that's people for you. I'm glad I'm a recluse! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I wouldn't buy one either but it's missing the point a bit though. They're desirable, in limited supply and thus highly marketable. I bet the folk buying them ain't that daft. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Me neither phil. I'm quite happy with my lot. I'd think the folk that buy these things are probably wanting the amenity rather than the investment potential. Still, it must be nice sitting there sunning, watching the sea with the kettle on, thinking ' it's almost like getting paid for this...' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
