Beach hut that’s just 10ft wide goes on sale for staggering six-figure sum
A BEACH hut in a Welsh tourist spot has gone on sale for a staggering £200,000.
The 10.5ft wide by 13ft long wooden shack sits on Abersoch’s main beach and boasts stunning views and a private deck - but has no electricity, drainage or running water.
The sum is £25,000 more than the previous highest asking price for a beach hut in the north Wales resort.
In comparison, the average house price in Gwynedd last year was £235,494.
Most of the houses sold in the county were terraced properties, which levelled at £150,533.
Abersoch is dubbed “Cheshire-on-Sea” due to its popularity with celebrities and sports stars who have second homes in the region.

Homes hit £350k
AVERAGE house prices have topped £350,000 for the first time.
Sellers were typically asking £354,564 in March.
That is up 1.7 per cent or £5,760 on February, according to Rightmove.
Asking prices generally are 10.4 per cent up on a year ago — stoked by low stocks and high demand.
Rightmove said: “Many selling in this record-breaking market face the prospect of buying again, and being in fierce competition against others.”
New hotspots include Shropshire, North Cotswolds and Suffolk.
