A beach chalet in Devon has fetched £91,000 at auction, more than twice its estimated value.
The hut, near the harbour at Teignmouth, is one of a number which rarely come to the market as they tend to remain in families for generations.
Rendells, which estimated the hut would sell for £40,000, sold the 25ft x 9ft building to a buyer from London.
"We knew it would do well, but this is a very good price," said Clive Morgan, a partner in the auction house.
The chalet, which looks up the estuary to Shaldon bridge, is made principally of timber under a tin roof.
Planning permission has been granted to create a two-storey chalet on the site, which is being sold by a local GP.
