Colourful beach huts on West Wittering beach Sussex England
Demand is high for West Wittering's 156 weather-beaten huts - many painted in shades of blue, green, ochre and pink - which sit on a private estate running, unusually, right down to the water's edge. Would-be buyers pay £20 a year to remain on a waiting list, and when a hut becomes available they are invited to submit a sealed bid. Peter Morton, West Wittering Estate plc's managing director, said most bids were between £25,000 and £40, Stone Keith Richards has spent £60,000 on a beach hut that looks more like a suburban garden shed than a multi-millionaire's hang-out. The modest property on the seafront of the genteel West Sussex resort of West Wittering will offer an escape from rock-star living. Loud music is banned, and there's no electricity or running water.
