Tiny beach hut goes on sale for £50,000 after 60 years in same family
A tiny beach hut overlooking one of North Wales' most scenic bays has gone on the market for £50,000 after being owned by the same family for more than 60 years.
Beach huts here rarely come up for sale, with many staying in the same families for generations.
This newly available hut, however, features its own rooftop sun deck, offering sweeping views across Nefyn Bay and the surrounding coastline.
Measuring just 11ft by 9ft, the pocket-sized cabin sits on the sands of Porth Nefyn beach on the Llyn Peninsula.
External steps lead up to the raised deck, making it the perfect place to soak up the sea views and watch the sunset.

Eiddo Susan Jones Properties, which is looking after the hut, said: 'Occupying a prominent position within the original, long-established row of beach huts overlooking Nefyn Bay, the property forms part of a distinctive and historic beachfront community and has been owned by the same family for over 60 years.
'Constructed of corrugated iron with a timber floor and benefiting from a substantial rooftop sun deck, the property enjoys attractive views across Nefyn Bay and towards the surrounding coastline.
'The beach hut provides useful storage and recreational space.
'A particular feature is the raised upper decking area, accessed via external steps, which provides an excellent vantage point from which to enjoy the beach, sea views and stunning sunsets over Nefyn Bay.'
Despite its compact size, the hut is on the market for a fraction of the price of some nearby huts.
In neighbouring Abersoch, one hut of a similar size was recently listed for around £200,000.
Porth Nefyn is popular for its two-mile sandy beach, sheltered waters and breathtaking coastal scenery, attracting swimmers, paddleboarders, anglers, boaters and holidaymakers throughout the year.
A short walk away from the beach is the tiny fishing hamlet of Porthdinllaen, home to the iconic Ty Coch Inn, a homely pub with outdoor seating that overlooks the Irish Sea.
Facing the glistening bay, the Nefyn & District Golf Club sits on a dramatic headland that's often compared to an aircraft carrier.
Down by the water, the bay and its rugged rocky reefs are popular and productive spots for catching pollack, bass, and mackerel.

Nefyn has deep roots to the herring trade - so much so that the town's coat of arms features three herrings
Nefyn itself built its 18th and 19th-century economy on the herring trade - its importance so deeply rooted that the town's coat of arms features three herrings and the old Three Herrings Inn.
The town boasts a great mix of local charm, featuring cosy cafes, local seafood joints, traditional pubs and independent shops to cover everyday needs.
Elsewhere in North Wales, a beach hut with no power likened to a 'shed' has gone on sale for £200,000 in a village dubbed 'Cheshire-on-Sea'.
The detached cabin is made of timber and corrugated iron, one of 17 huts on the dog-friendly Porth Mawr beach in Abersoch, North Wales.
Completely rebuilt in 2023, the hut features private decking with views across the bay and was described as 'a perfect convenience for the coastal lifestyle in Abersoch'.
Previously labelled a 'millionaire's playground', Abersoch is a favourite of monied holidaymakers.
Some visitors are Premier League footballers, including former Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker.
Colleen Rooney, wife of former Manchester United star Wayne, has also been spotted in the village, prompting the Cheshire-on-Sea label as a nod to the affluent north-west area where many footballers choose to live while playing for nearby Premier League clubs.
Abersoch, a seaside village at the western tip of Wales's Llyn Peninsula, has a year-round population of barely 600 and has also been called the 'Sandbanks of the North' after the glamorous Dorset neighbourhood.
The nearby Lighthouse Island is owned by adventurer Bear Grylls and huts on its Main Beach regularly sell for more than £200,000 despite having no running water or electricity.
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
