Caravan enthusiasts may grumble about the ever increasing price tags on their favourite leisure vehicles, but how about this – BBC North West Wales has reported a static caravan has been sold for a whopping £550,000.
In what has to be the country’s most expensive seasonal pitch, the beach front lodge on wheels is located in The Warren, an exclusive seaside destination in Abersoch, North Wales.
The resort is supposedly favoured by the soap stars and footballers of Cheshire’s glitterati and has its own private access to the beach.
‘The Great British holiday has evolved’
Jim Gandon, Sales and Marketing director of the Haulfryn Group which owns the Warren explains what you get for a £0.5+ million static caravan: “Underfloor heating and reflective double glazing which keeps the heat out in summer and in during the winter.”
There is also luxury Italian furniture and a top of the range kitchen,” he told the BBC.
The static caravan comes with a twenty year lease and the new owner, who remains anonymous, will be able to spend this time taking advantage of the unobstructed coastal views surrounding the holiday home.
“We don’t shy away from the fact it’s a static caravan. That’s the heritage of the holiday park. The great British holiday has evolved and we should embrace that,” Mr Gandon added.
