Last week, we looked at beach huts that were available to buy. This time, we’re looking at similar, but altogether more substantial properties; beachfront homes.

The UK is famously an island nation, so has an abundance of this type of home relative to its size. Sandbanks near Poole in Dorset is the Millionaire’s Row of beachfront homes – one of the most expensive property spots in the world. But fear not, you don’t need to be filthy rich to be able to wake up in the morning, look out of your bedroom window and see, hear & smell the sea!
