The British luxury real estate market has once again made headlines with the sale of the most expensive beach hut that has fetched a staggering $266,000. Designed and developed for the most elegant beach hut holidays experience, this luxury beach hut offers its occupants some of the most breathtaking views of the surrounding of the harbor and The Solent, a strait that acts as a divider between the Isle of Wright and mainland England. The luxury home measures about eighteen feet by ten feet and is constructed entirely from timber wood. However, what makes the high end price tag all the more bizarre is the fact that the beach hut is devoid of modern amenities and does even feature running hot water or washing facilities. Furthermore, the property is located on a remote stretch of land that requires 30 minute ride on a train or a short trip via a ferry to get to the location.
The beach hut is located at Christchurch, Dorset and is now hailed as the most expensive beach hut in England. This luxury beach hut, also known as Hut 97 is quite an environment friendly construction, as the house features its very own solar panels on the roof that enables it to meet its energy needs. Furthermore, there is also present a 12V pump system that provides water via a dedicated tap. The Hut 97 can accommodate as many as six individuals and comes with a separate bedroom, two bedrooms and even a comfortable sofa, all neatly packed in the confined space of the beach hut. The wooden luxury home offers adequate storage space in the ground floor to stash away sun loungers and boats, while the gallery kitchen in the premises features a stove, fridge and even a sink that has been connected to a running water supply.
The most expensive beach hut has reportedly been purchased by a wealthy family from Christchurch and as per the local laws, besides the $266,000 price tag of the beach hut, the owners are also required to pay $4,000 annually to the local council as ground rent. This expensive beach hut is one of 350 beach huts that are located in Mudeford, while the entire U.K sports some 23,000 huts.
