Beach hut on market for same price as a terraced house in Gwynedd
The stretch of sand in North Wales is prime real estate

A beach hut on an exclusive stretch of sand is on the market for the same price as an average terraced house. The shack on Abersoch's Porth Mawr only measures 12ft by 10ft internally, with its total floorspace extended by a balcony area.

You also can't stay overnight in the corrugated metal hut, with it primarily for changing or to get out the sun - or other elements - on the popular beach.
