IT has no electricity, water for only half of the year, and the closest you can park the car is half a mile away.

But a small wooden beach hut on one of the North-East's most barren stretches of coastline is on the market for more than £90,000.

Estate agent Rooks Matthews Sayer believes it could fetch a lot more.

The detached chalet bungalow, known as No 36 Seabank, stands in the sand dunes at Embleton, Northumberland, which is overlooked by Dunstanburgh Castle.

It has three bedrooms, but buyers will have to make do with old-fashioned gas mantel lights, cook using gas canisters, and put up with no mains water between November and March.

The hut is also only accessible by foot. Parking for one car is a designated space in nearby Newton-on-the-Sea - a ten-minute walk away.

The current owner, from Beamish, County Durham, who asked not to be named, bought it two years ago, but her family is now moving to the South.
