‘Redundant Sea’ (left) and ‘The Hen House’ (right): beach huts in blue, white, lemon and green among about 300 colourful holiday hideaways lining the Promenade and other seafront sites at Southwold, Suffolk, England, UK. Such lockable timber cabins, most with shutters and verandas, are iconic symbols of the British seaside vacation, evolving from humble traditional fishermen’s huts into highly sought-after real estate. Holidaymakers usually rent them well before the season starts. Many are passed down in local families, but those that do come on the market can sell for six-figure sums.
Southwold, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom: ‘Redundant Sea’ (left) and ‘The Hen House’ (right), beach huts in various shades of blue, white, lemon and green, are among about 300 colourful holiday hideaways lining the Promenade and other seafront sites at this small East Anglian resort on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The privately-owned lockable wooden cabins, most with shutters and verandas, have evolved from humble traditional fishermen’s huts into highly sought-after real estate that has become an iconic symbol of the British seaside vacation. Most are rented by holidaymakers well in advance of the holiday season. Although many are passed down through the generations in local families, those that do come on to the market can fetch high prices, with some now selling for six-figure sums.
