A beach hut with no electricity or running water has gone on the market for \u00a3200,000 – just shy of the average Welsh house price.<\/p>\n
On the sands of Abersoch in Gwynedd, Beach Hut 7 is a timber and corrugated iron cabin, one of only 17 on the right-hand side of the stretch of coast. <\/p>\n
But the structure on the stunning Ll\u0177n Peninsula won’t come cheap, listed at just \u00a315,000 below last year’s average Welsh house price.<\/a><\/p>\n Despite the seemingly-high price tag, estate agent Rhys Elvin expects the hut to be highly sought-after as technically, it means someone can own part of the beach.<\/p>\n The hut was rebuilt in 2023 and first advertised last week, but comes with few frills.<\/p>\n Owners also have to pay council tax on them – about \u00a3800 a year – and some even need to be dug out of the sand in the spring<\/a>. <\/p>\n Despite this, six-figure sums are not uncommon – a newly-completed beach hut went on the market in Abersoch last month for the same price<\/a>, plus another for \u00a3150,000, external<\/a>.<\/p>\n “There’s always demand for them,” Elvin said. <\/p>\n “[It’s] something that will never go down in value, you hope.<\/p>\n “It’s a rare thing to be able to own, you technically own part of the beach. It’s freehold property.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beach hut with no electricity or running water has gone on the market for \u00a3200,000 – just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-655342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
