BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

MUDEFORD Spit in Christchurch Harbour, Dorset, holds the title for housing the most expensive beach huts in Britain.

This one, bought for £333,000 in 2017 and now worth an estimated £500,000, is available to rent via Airbnb and is unusual among beach huts as it allows overnight stays. This hut has solar power and a fridge.

Toilet and shower facilities require a walk, but there is a water butt, which at £339-a-night at peak season is the least you’d hope for.
