 The estate includes a large nine-bedroom country house |
A nudist camp in Devon, which is thought to be one of the oldest in the country, has been snapped up by a private buyer at the last minute. The remote camp at Beaworthy was to be auctioned but the sale was called off after the mystery purchaser offered a "phenomenal price" for the property.
The estate includes a nine-bedroom country house and a naturist colony known as the North Devon Club.
The camp was set up in 1936 by writer and photographer Edward Hemingway.
Estate agents Stags had set a guide price of �400,000 for the property, which had been due to be auctioned in Launceston on Tuesday afternoon.
It is not known what will happen to the naturists who currently pay about �480 a year to rent space to station their caravans on the estate.
