A battered shed has sold for £92,000 thanks to its incredible beach-side location.

The hut is just a few metres from Teignmouth’s Back Beach and has been in the same family ownership for 90 years.

The guide price was originally £45,000 but it sold for twice that after an online auction.

Estate agents Bradleys of Teignmouth said they had serious interest in the hut on the Lower Point Car Park.

James Carden of Bradleys previously said: “It’s literally ten yards from the beach – you walk out the door and you’re on it.

“There are a lot of front-lying beach huts which value up to 150/200 thousand pounds.

“This is slightly off pitch – it’s behind the front row of beach huts on the back beach but is attached to a nice yellow hut.

“This blue hut has been with the family for 90 years and they’ve used it as their family summer beach hut.

“These don’t tend to come up very often and seem to stay in the families forever. When they do sell they tend to sell within the community.

“They’ve had it rented out to another family for about ten years but they’ve now vacated it.

“Its freehold – a lot of beach huts are lease holds, you put them up beginning summer then have to take them down."
