It might be small , but a bit like Doctor Who 's Tardis , appearances can be deceptive for inside it has two bedrooms , a hall and a toilet extension . Every year on April 1 , the Truans , along with many other local families , could get permission to simply hitch up a horse and tow their chalet on to the seaside dunes at Riviere Towans in St Ives Bay for the summer season .

'All different relatives used to come down . It slept up to eight people - I do n't know where they all went ! 'For about 30 years Audrey and her husband would come down in April and stay till September . She loved her hut . ' The property was enjoyed by all the Truan family , and their extended relatives , and is now described as 'the most original property on the park ' by the estate agents . Ben Downton , of Driftwood Properties , which is selling the chalet , told MailOnline Travel : 'It has got to be the most original property on the park . ' I think it would be for a specific kind of person , but we expect there to be a good deal of interest . ' I think there is massive potential to extend the property , on that park this is happening all the time . 'We would expect the new owner to want to develop and modify the hut , but it would be nice if some of the history and core features of the property can remain . '
