The trend for UK holidays has pushed prices for the UK’s 20,000 candy-coloured seaside cabins through the roof
When Vicky Gunn bought a little ramshackle beach hut at Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex four years ago for £10,500, she had no idea what an incredible investment it would turn out to be.
Last week, she sold the seafront hut with its new stylish interior for £48,000. “It’s really bizarre. £10,000 is a lot of money but £48,000 is life-changing for a lot of people,” she said.
