Love the sunglasses Ian . A well put together video as always... I think the huts look fantastic and are a great addition to Gorleston . I remember the old huts that end , there weren't many . A lady I knew called Hazel owned one , she was a piano teacher who taught my brother well in her 60s at the time . Sadly no longer with us after being hit by a car on her bike along Middleton road ...not the drivers fault I might add . Anyway they were destroyed by vandals and never replaced . They were basically garden sheds with a flat roof , none uniform. It does make me wonder though....I wonder what ground rent they had to pay ? If any .... when you look at really old pictures of gorleston beach, there were wooden huts everywhere on the beach itself . I've often wondered of the legalities at the time and what has changed now in regards to pitching a hut on the sand . I'm very pleased you got your hut Ian , quite a one off opportunity with only two left . I'm sure you will have a visit from my son and I in the spring.
Oh question cause I keep seeing mixed answers, are you aloud to sleep overnight in them? I keep seeing a lot of people saying no. And if you can’t…then what’s the point? 😂
No. Overnight camping is forbidden in the lease. You just enjoy them during the day with your family and friends. They are not holiday accommodation. Ian B x
@@TheIanBullock interesting. What’s the point in them then? Not trying to be rude, I’m American so I don’t kno what your beaches are like there. Here on our public beaches we have bath houses where u can shower and change and you can bring coolers and sometimes small grills on the beach to eat. U can put up little tents and stuff on the beach while ur there for the day. Do they not allow those things/have those things on your public beaches?
I hope you are enjoying your hut. And I hope it brings many happy memories to you and your family
A nice series of videos, Ian. I look forward to watching them (Mark Warner of GGS days!!)

Thanks so much, Andy
I was hoping to see this cute beach hut furnished and looking cosy inside.
That’s tricky as I’d not actually purchased it when I recorded the video. The paperwork was still in progress. But thanks! Ian B
When these were first launched, the Ts & Cs on these were horrendous.
Far too expensive, high ground rent and only lease hold.
Not sure how it is now.
Good for you Ian :) Enjoy the process of turning it into your own little shangri-la... your hygge lights would look good in it!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
how much did it cost please? xxx
