The hut, which is the size of a garden shed, is on the southern tip of Mudeford Sandbank, Dorset, with views towards the Isle of Wight.

Despite the price tag, the buyer would also have to pay £2,000 a year to the council for the sand plot.

"Basically you own a garden shed, because it's honestly not much bigger," estate agent James White said.

"It's on a bit of ground you don't own, with stunning views where you can only sleep overnight for eight months a year," he said.

"But they are incredibly popular."

The hut is only accessible by a ferry from Mudeford Quay or by a small land train from Hengistbury Head.

Earlier this year, the most expensive hut to date on the stretch of beach, where there are 354 huts, sold for £165,000.

"People keep their little sail boat, or canoe under the hut or next to the hut," Mr White continued.
