* Leasehold
When you think of Brighton you think of the beach, and when you think of the
beach the colourful images of the pretty beach huts always come to mind.
Their concertina roofs and colourful facades lining the promenade have become
as iconic as Brighton Rock and the ‘Palace Pier’ - and now you have the
opportunity to buy your very own!
This one is in a prime location on Hove’s clean and quiet seafront, sandwiched
between the Lawns and the pebble beach at the bottom of Grand Avenue - for
beach lovers and sea swimmers this is a rare opportunity to buy up a slight of
Brighton & Hove’s unique history.
Style: Beach Hut on Hove Seafront
Location: Grand Avenue
Why you’ll like it:
The humble beach hut began its life on wheels as a bathing machine to hide the
modesty of the Victorians, flocking to Brighton to bathe in the sea; known at
the time for its curative qualities. Today however, with wheels removed, and
in a rainbow of colours, these sweet chalet houses lining the promenade, have
become one of the most fashionable acquisitions for any true Brightonian!
This immaculate hut is painted, like its neighbours, the standard ‘beach hut
green and red’ with classic blue and white stripes on the doors - but you can
paint the doors whichever colour you choose and Brewers in Hove are more than
happy to help you pick out another colour - then when you buy the green and
red with them, they’ll give you a litre of door paint free! The doors can be
painted whatever colour you like and they also open outwards so they act as a
windbreak in more blustery moments! If you need any future repairs there are
lots of local tradesmen who provide a specific ‘beach hut’ service too.
There’s a shower and a water tap nearby, so great after a dip in the sea, and
to fill the kettle for a warming cuppa, and there are two toilets for use just
100m either way down the beach. There are also two cafes, and Morocco’s -
famed for its ice cream and fish platters, is just a minute down the road.
If you don’t live within walking distance of the beach, you can park very
reasonably in Third Avenue, and there are several local bars and restaurants
on Church Road to be enjoyed in the evening if you are making a day/night of
it.
It’s a very sociable affair with neighbours often coming together for
barbecues, and it’s a great place to host a party, or just sit and watch the
eclectic mix of people in Brighton stroll on by.
The i360 is within an easy walk, as is the pier for extra entertainment, but
this end of the beach has such a chilled atmosphere, you’ll probably want to
stay put, soaking up the sun and contemplating what flavour ice cream to have
next!
Agent’s thoughts:
For beach lovers and sea swimmers this is a rare opportunity to buy up a
slight of Brighton & Hove’s unique history.
Owner’s thoughts:
“This beach hut has not only proven to be a fantastic investment, but the
whole family have been able to use it regularly over the years - we have lots
of happy memories here, and just owning a little bit of Brighton’s character
and history feels rather special. ”
Where it is:
Shops: Local 2 min walk, city centre 15 min walk
Train Station: Brighton Station 25 min walk
This Beach hut is great for anyone living on the seafront who may not have a
garden of their own, but if you live further away, you can easily drive and
park at this end of the beach, and Hove Station is a 10 minute walk for those
visiting from further afield!
