Eleven new beach huts are being put up for sale, with a chance for prospective buyers to view them in a few days’ time.
Brighton and Hove City Council said: “Residents have the rare opportunity to own one of 11 new beach huts which are being installed on Hove seafront this week.
“Situated between Hove Lagoon and the beach, with the popular Hove Beach Park directly behind, the huts are the perfect place for enjoying family leisure time, water sports or just relaxing by the sea
“Ten of the new huts are being built in the gaps on the promenade above Hove Lagoon Watersports.
“The 11th hut will fill a gap near by, following the removal of an abandoned derelict hut.
“Residents interested in buying a hut are invited to an open viewing day on Tuesday 31 March between 12 noon and 3pm. Further viewing days can be arranged if needed
“The 10 huts will go on sale to Brighton and Hove residents for offers over £25,000.
“The 11th hut, which is in a more established location, has been priced at offers over £30,000.
“Money raised from the sale of the huts will be used to fund further seafront maintenance.”
Labour councillor Birgit Miller, the council’s cabinet member for culture, heritage and tourism, said: “Our famous seafront beach huts rarely come onto the market, so we are thrilled to be offering residents the chance to own one of 11 brand new huts.
“The prime location, near Hove Beach Park and the Lagoon, is the perfect spot for families to enjoy relaxing and making memories all year round.
“And with the money from the sale of the huts going back into maintaining the seafront, it’s a win-win for anyone who enjoys spending time on our iconic beach and promenade.”
Offers can be made in writing by Tuesday 7 April and sent to Seafront.lettings@brighton-hove.gov.uk
