Dupenny (NO. 319)

*PROPERTY ON THE PROM!* - - - - - DETAILS Our beloved beach hut was in our family for over 15 years and was one of the longest-standing huts on Brighton & Hove promenade. Many happy summer days were spent with family and friends, celebrating birthdays, enjoying picnics and bbq's, swimming in the sea and breathing in the refreshing seaside air - all to the envy of passers-by! Sadly we had to replace our with a new one in July 2019. Since we are now planning to re-locate we've decided the time is right to sell our BRAND NEW beach hut for someone else to love! This perfect new beach hut has been built to spec as per the official agreement with Brighton & Hove Council. - - - - - LOCATION Located south of Braemore Road BN3, on the historic Hove esplanade, beach hut 319 sits right by the Pitch & Putt Golf and Tennis Courts. Hove Lagoon with its water sports, Children's Pool, Play Area, Skate Park, Pirates Adventure Golf and the ‘Big Beach Cafe' are just a few minutes stroll to the West, where you can find public toilets and disabled facilities. A similar distance to the East you will find 'The Venue' bar and restaurant, along with more public toilets and disabled facilities. - - - - - WHY WE LOVE IT We've heard it said many times that this is the “best stretch of the promenade” and having lived in Brighton & Hove for 20 years, I would have to agree. We have been offered the opportunity to swap with huts closer to town but we always decline these offers. Being slightly out of town means parking is free, it's less crowded and you avoid the groups on Hove Lawns, kicking footballs and throwing frisbees at the back of the hut every 5 minutes! The promenade here is very wide, so there's plenty of space to set up tables and chairs if you have a large group or celebration. There's a fresh water tap very close, just to the right along the sea wall. Just a few steps down and you find yourself on quiet beaches where you can take a dip. The beach hut has fabulous views of the coastline including a distant view of i360 and both of Brighton's famous piers. The sunset views are incredible! Children of all ages have an extensive playground with the sea, beach, playground, paddling pool and Hove Lagoon with all its seasonal water sport activities. Hosting picnics and bbq's at the hut is super fun but also having a choice of cafes nearby serving tasty hot and cold refreshments makes this the ideal spot for lazy days at the beach if you prefer! - - - - - CONTENTS Photos show our previous hut.

All parking is free for Disabled Badge holders. The nearest promenade vehicle access is directly opposite Wish Road. We have known people to drive (slowly!) along the promenade up to their beach huts to unload or to carry out work on their huts. Wheelchairs can be wheeled right up to the beach hut exterior, however there is a small step up to get inside. A ramp could easily be made to store inside the hut. - - - - - DOGS Dogs are permitted on the promenade and are supposed to be kept on leads, although many people don't do this.
