Frinton beach hut listed for £80,000

The Frinton based hut was listed by Boydens Estate Agents on Rightmove and is based on the town’s prestigious Walings, where a hut was sold for £84,000 in March.

Matthew Hayward, branch manager at Boydens said interest in beach huts is still high following a summer of staycations last year, but one key factor has changed things.

He said: “Purchasing wise the interest is still there for buying huts. However, things have slowed down a little during the summer holidays because people are allowed to go abroad now.

“We are still selling huts on a weekly and monthly basis, the value of beach huts has slightly fallen but not to a point of concern.

“Renting is the same case, most of our beach huts had a 90% occupancy rate throughout the holidays.”

The £80,000 beach hut is in the section of the Walings that overlooks Frinton Golf Course and it has an excellent view of the seafront.

The hut also comes with a private decking area and is in close proximity to a water tap, beach access and a short walk to the toilets.

Earlier this year Boydens told the Gazette the average price of beach huts in Walton is between £30,000 to £35,000 and as soon as you get back into Frinton it ranges from £40,000 to £60,000 in High Wall and Low Wall along the seafront.

As previously mentioned, huts are still popular but not as much as when everyone was at home.

Matthew added: “I would say for the most part prices have experienced a slight drop but once again, nothing substantial.

“In Walton, prices are beginning to drop into the high £20,000s and along the seafront it’s about £40,000 to £55,000.

“We still have rentals going past the holidays into September so as long as the weather stays sunny everything should be ok.”
