Hayling Island, Hampshire

The setting has clearly inspired the beach hut design of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom house, clad in faded Siberian larch, with decking at the front and back. The island, which has three miles of beaches and a busy water sports scene all year, is connected to the mainland by bridge (drivable) and ferry, and juts out between Portsmouth and Chichester harbour and the popular beaches of West Wittering and East Wittering. There is a new-build warranty on the property until 2031, and it has an energy rating of B. £650,000. Strutt & Parker, 01243 887 189
