A beachside toilet block that went on the market last month has now sold for much more than its initial guide price. In April, Landwood Property Auctions put the old public convenience on the market with a price tag of £7,500.
Despite its not-so-luxurious use, 183 keen buyers saw potential in the property and forced the price up at the auction - and it eventually for a surprising £65,000.
The toilet block is said to boast 'some of the best views in Britain' with its location set in the village of Allonby on the northwest coast of Cumbria.
The coastal spot looks out onto the Solway Estuary with views of the Scotland's Southern Uplands stretching beyond. Spanning 33 square metres, the facility sits in a popular tourist hotspot which boasts three caravan and camping parks as well as numerous holiday cottages.
