Tiny patch of sand on British beach with stunning panoramic views goes up for sale for staggering price - but you'll have to build your own hut to go with it
A tiny patch of sand on a UK beach has gone on the market with a six figure price tag.
Nestled between beach huts on Porth Mawr in Abersoch, Wales, the sliver of land is up for sale for £100,000, the price of a flat or even a small house in parts of the country.
The location had previously housed a wooden shack too but this was damaged in storms and pulled down by the owner.
Planning permission has been secured from Cyngor Gwynedd for a new beach hut despite it being branded an 'overdevelopment' by Llanengan Community Council.
The piece of land is on the market with Elvins Estate Agents who say it 'beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach'.
They said: 'An exciting opportunity to acquire a beach hut plot on Abersoch main beach with planning permission to build a new hut.
'Benefit from owning your own part of Abersoch beach with the convenience of storage and shelter at the waters edge. Beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach.
'We believe the property to be Freehold, but potential purchasers should seek clarification from their solicitor prior to an exchange of contracts.'
In the planning application, applicant Jonathan Edwards said: 'The site is on the coast line of Porth Mawr Beach, Abersoch in a line of similar beach huts running north from the beach access toward the Sailing Club.
'The building will only be used as a Beach Hut and no heating will be provided and also no requirement for foul waste will be required.
'The rainwater from the roof will discharge directly into the sand which is what occurs presently with the existing beach hut and every beach hut adjacent.
Porth Mawr beach runs at nearly half a mile in length and is known among locals for its golden sand and is mainly backed by the dunes.
