A Victorian attic flat in a seaside town on an idyllic Scottish island is on sale for a bargain £10,000.

The quaint cubbyhole in Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Argyll and Bute, has some original fittings including a porcelain sink and scraps of floral wallpaper.

It has no gas connection but does have electricity and running water, and is in a mansion-style fronted house with views over Rothesay Bay.
