Hut No. 161.

£275k.

As Britain basks in the hottest July on record some might think now is the perfect time to snap up a beach hut.

But anyone interested in buying one of these five timber cabins will need to have deep pockets as they cost an average of £250,000.

The five huts have a combined value of a mind-boggling £1.25m.

That is because they are located on an exclusive Mudeford sandbank in Dorset - home to the most expensive beach huts in Britain.
