A WOODEN beach hut with a £280,000 price tag has gone on sale in a West Dorset village.

The one-bedroomed chalet at West Bexington is just yards from the sea and boasts stunning views across Lyme Bay.

Bridport estate agents Symonds and Sampson say they expect a lot of interest in the property - one of 13 in Beach Road which have been fetching huge sums.

A neighbouring, slightly larger, chalet sold for around £300,000 recently while a nearby two-bedroomed hut went for £216,000 at auction last year - sold to a telephone bidder from Bath who had not even seen it. Like the others, the latest chalet is freehold and can be used on an all-year basis with no occupancy restrictions.

Negotiator Jamie McKay said its high price was down to its amazing location.

"It's sensational - just a few yards from the beach," he said.

"We do get a tremendous amount of interest in these chalets."

The much-improved' double- glazed chalet has mains water, drainage and electricity along with parking and gardens which adjoin Chesil Beach Inside is a spacious' studio room measuring 17ft 7in by 9ft 6in with windows on three sides and views from Lyme Regis to Portland Bill.

The kitchen is 6ft 5in by 5ft 6in, the bedroom fitted with bunk beds is 6ft 4in by 5ft 8in and the bathroom is 6ft 5in by 5ft 5in.

The agents add: "The whole of this area is idyllic with excellent leisure facilities and is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An appealing factor to many is the close proximity to the beaches along the Jurassic coastline of West Dorset."
