THE ice-cream kiosk made famous by the hit TV drama Broadchurch remains available for purchase.

The Shack at West Bay, near Bridport, was among the West Country lots listed for sale by the regional land and property auctioneers Clive Emson in June.

Located in Station Road, the kiosk-come-garage attracted interest although no bids reached the freehold guide price of £55,000 to £65,000.

Stars are currently filming the third and final series of Broadchurch nearby on the picturesque beach, cliffs and busy harbourside.

Auctioneer Scott Gray said: “There was considerable interest in this Jurassic Coast kiosk before the auction.

“It is still available as an ice-cream parlour although alternative uses may be possible subject to the necessary consents.”

As reported in the Echo, Karl Wallace, who served on Bridport Town Council until 2015, owns the kiosk.

Speaking to Mr Wallace previously, he said: “I’ve owned if for a good few years now and it’s just time to move on really.”

He said he bought the kiosk for about £26,000 and spent about £15,000 on it but due to his increasing work with supporting migrants in places such as Calais, his family commitments and job as a nurse he felt it was time to sell.

He added: “Somebody else can take it on and run with it. It’s a great opportunity.”

Clive Emson Auctioneers holds eight rounds of auctions at five locations from Essex to Cornwall on consecutive days every six weeks, this time with a total of 145 lots.

Starting at 11am, the fifth of Clive Emson’s eight regional West Country auctions in 2016 takes place at the St Mellion International Resort, St Mellion, Cornwall, on Thursday July 28. Entries close on Monday, June 27.
