FOURTEEN retro-style beach huts with panoramic views of Bournemouth’s new artificial surf reef have been sold for more than £1m.

Boscombe’s 1950s Overstrand complex has been converted into 48 “beach pods” as part of the area's regeneration.

The pods, which went on sale on Friday, have mains electricity, hot running water and private balconies.

Agents Savills described the response as “fantastic”.
