A SEASIDE parking space measuring just 14ft 5in by 6ft has sold for a staggering £40,000.
The spot, in popular holiday town St Ives, Cornwall, is near the beach and picturesque harbour.
Other spaces in the same car park have fetched around £60,000.
Senior auction valuer Katie Semmens, from land and property auctioneers Clive Emson, said: "There was very strong interest in this parking space in one of the region's most popular tourist destinations.
"The new owner was very keen to secure the spot and made a bid which was accepted prior to the auction."
She added:"They now have easy year-round and secure parking with access to the town centre, and thereby its picturesque beach and harbour."
The space was auctioned in arrangement with Harding Laity of St Ives and went under the hammer on November 3 in Cornwall.
Five years ago five spaces on nearby Barnoon Terrace were sold for a combined total of more than £160,000.
