For sale at a givaway price is a fully equipped sea-front, double aspect (Sea & boating lake), beach hut on the award winning beach of Dovercourt, Harwich, Essex.
Fully fitted for a days family enjoyment, with double Calor gas burner, kettle, pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, glasses for meals and entertaining. A two-seater conservatory style sofa sits against one wall while opposite is a butterfly breakfast table and two chairs. Against the back wall is a wicker display unit and in the kitchen section is a butchers storage unit, a wall mounted Welsh dresser style unit and a double gas burner. Also included in the sale are two pairs of binoculars, for watching the ships and vessels go by, a rubber dingy, fishing rods and equipment, 2 wind breaks and various ball games.
The hut itself has a double aspect - i.e. the sea to the front and boating lake to the rear. Unlike huts further along, ours does not have a row of huts behind and never will have. There is a single door on the boating lake side and a panoramic double opening door on the sea side. Both entrances have professionally-made hinged inner glazed and curtained doors that fit and fasten against the open portals, to provide a private screen and wind break, whilst still letting in the daylight. This is highly advantagious as the family can change from wet clothes in private, whilst still allowing daylight in. Having said that, there are battery powered wall lights and an electric wall clock.
The wooden floor is covered with linoleum and there is a large central rug, for comfort. There is a large storage box for the games and dingy and another drawed cabinet for clothes and towels etc.
Stored in the rafters are enough chairs for 6 people, a large patio-type sun parassol and two wind breaks. As previously mentioned, some sea fishing gear is included and I can vouch for the fact that large sea bass and codling can be caught right opposite the beach hut at high and slack tide. Many people swim in the safe award winning sea on this beach. We give no guarantee to the safety of the rubber dingly that is included and advise that children in particular be supervised.
The hut can be used in daylight hours throughout the year, however the water supply (very close by) is available from May to October only. A new toilet block is on the other side of the boating lake, where also is a roller skating rink (just renovated) and a small entertainment arcade. There is a fish & chip shop and a general store just a very short walk away (in view from the hut) and the Dovercourt Swimming Pool is adjacent to the boating lake.
Both hut entrances are secured by heavy-duty hasps and padlocks - internally there is a battery powered infa-red alarm. A recent police inspection of all the huts on the Dovercourt beach, gave ours a clean bill of health with no further security measures needed. At present it is fully insured and details can be given to the new owner.
The hut has been kept in good condition and last year a new roof was professionally fitted.
Total 2011 outgoings amounted to £149.62 (Licence fee to Tendring D.C.) + optional hut insurance (TL Risk Solutions) + £15 Beach hut Association (members huts are patrolled at night)
Hut owners can if they wish rent out their hut on a daily or weekly basis and the district council will help you do this.
All-in-all - everything that a family could want for a day at the seaside or an investment by letting out
