A beach hut with stunning sea views is up for grabs in time for the late summer sun – for just £25,000.

The green and white hut sits on a stretch of golden sand overlooking the sea in Rotherslade Bay, South Wales.

It is up for auction with a guide price of just £25,000 – but has no running water and overnight stays are banned.

But those sea views are still a bargain compared to other hotspots like Christchurch Harbour, where a beach hut was snapped up for an outrageous £500,000.

The wooden building with a covered veranda sits on the stunning Gower coastline in South Wales.

Buyers will be able to wash off their sandy feet in the communal water supply before enjoying relaxation time in the hut.

A secure gate protects the property from the road and there is storage inside the hut to keep any beach toys and picnic items.

Estate agents John Francis said: ‘A rare opportunity to secure a little piece of Rotherslade in the form of this compact, beautifully located beach hut.

‘After a lovely day at the beach the incoming purchaser can stroll back to their very own beach hut to take in the beautiful views whilst enjoying a little tipple.

‘Please be advised that there isn’t any running water or electricity.’

The last beach hut to sell at auction at Rotherslade Bay sold for £27,000 four years ago.
