In fairness, it's only £25,000, but considering it was listed as a one bedroom residential property...

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

MODERATORS
One you're explicitly banned from staying overnight in. No plumbing, no electric. Extremely restrictive covenants. Very high service charges.
They have a charm, and one wouldn't expect them to be cheap, but £25,000 is plain daft.
What do these generally cost?
Everyone is telling me £25k is nuts, but nobody seems to know what it’s actually worth.
I’ve seen parking spaces sell for more.
£25k is about normal for these huts.
Also crazy with parking spaces, though in some locations & use patterns, would come in a lot cheaper than paying for parking adhoc.
This is not the case for beach huts, as you can sit on the beach for free.
It might be tempting if you have kids who are into watersports, but it isn't secure enough to store expensive equipment so you might still be into hauling that on and off the beach every time, most beach hut rules do not permit you to store small sailing boats (lasers, dinghys, etc.) and many don't permit storage of anything except in the summertime. It is common for these to have tight restrictions on your disposal of the hut by sale or in a will & on what you must do in the event it is washed away in a storm or vandalised.
So you have a shed on a very busy, stony beach, which you can't do much with, anc which will have high ongoing costs. If people find £25k an acceptable price, that's up to them, but it is crazy.
Anyhow, I believe the ad was posted here because it was listed as a one-bedroom house, which it objectively is not. If you're caught sleeping in your hut, you'll find it repossessed very fast, and yes - they do check.
