The deadline to submit bids for 14 beach huts in Bournemouth, Dorset, which boast breathtaking sea views across Poole Bay has arrived.

The purpose-built huts, on a raised terrace called The Royal Balcony in Durley Chine, are expected to fetch more than £350,000.

Buyers must have offered sealed bids of more than £25,000 per chalet by Monday.

The structures come with a 25-year site lease. At the moment people can only rent a hut site on a one-year lease.
