A community leader has reacted with fury to news that a beach hut has sold for a reported £85,000 in his coastal resort.
The little wooden hut at Abersoch, North Wales, complete with its own stamp-size patch of sand, smashed its guide price of £75,000 when it was bought by a mystery purchaser.
The detached huts regularly sell for thousands at the picturesque stretch despite the economic slow down – and despite them not having running water or electricity.
But the latest sale has incensed Aran Jones, chief executive of Cymuned – which champions locals’ causes in Wales.
