A RUN-DOWN garage on the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula in Dorset has sold for more than £600,000 - a whopping four times the price of the average house in County Durham. The humble storage unit is on a plot of prime real estate in the heart of the Millionaire s Playground and is just yards from its sandy beach. The new owner, a wealthy watersports enthusiast, beat off competition from 17 other serious bidders for the 1950 s built garage, reports the Daily Echo. It is thought that he plans to store his jet-ski and other watersports equipment in it for the time being. But he could end up applying for planning permission to demolish the single-storey garage and build a nice little beach house worth £1m in its place.
