A seaside house, home to generations of the same family for at least 100 years, is up for sale.

He said it had been rendered and was difficult to value, but a guide price of £375,000 had been set.
Doing it up would be an option for buyers, as would demolishing the house and building a new home in the substantial plot.
The sale particulars also include drawings showing a proposal for eight bungalows on the site, which is a short walk from the beach.
