Remote Scots cottage on hits market for just £75K – but buyers will be distracted by bizarre feature

A REMOTE cottage is up for auction for a bargain price – but it comes with an unusual history.

The three-bedroom semi-detached house will go under the hammer for just £75,000.

The property will go on sale at an auction in October, and the starting bid is just £75,000.

The house, on Broadbay View is said to be a huge renovation project for someone looking for a home in the highlands.

But there’s a rather unusual catch.

The spacious property – which is over two levels – has a lounge, which the auction house suggests was once home to a horse.

The rest of the ground floor is made up of a kitchen, bathroom, and back porch, with the upper level offering three bedrooms.

The garden stretches around three sides of the home, and there is an oil-fired central heating system.

Back – where the cottage resides – is a very small village on the picturesque east coast of Lewis, and is steeped in Scottish Gaelic culture.

There is plenty of opportunities available for outdoor activities, including scenic walking, plenty of cycling routes and places to go fishing.

There are also a wide range of facilities available for residents.

There is a local primary school, post office, shop, and community hall.

For a wider choice, Stornoway is the closest option for home-owners.

However, there is a lot of work to be done on the home, both inside, and out.

This provides a huge opportunity to add significant value to the home over time.

It’s due to go under the hammer at Auction House Scotland’s in-room and live stream action on Thursday 10 October, at 2pm.

It will take place at the Radisson Red Hotel in Glasgow.

Bidders can join in both in-person, and online, and bidding is possible through telephone if buyers are unable to register online, or make the event in-person.

His working hours are spent gossiping with everyone from murderers to friends of the deceased.

Series three will begin airing from Friday, October 4 on BBC One and iPlayer.

Incoming guest stars include Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill and Inside No.9’s Steve Pemberton.

Greg Davies revealed he was “delighted” about the show’s imminent return.

He said: “I am so delighted to be back wading around in blood. We have made sure that Wicky has some bizarre characters to deal with this series.

“Looking forward to sweating in a scene of crime suit and wearing the earring that my nieces find so cringe.”

While Jon Petrie, the BBC‘s Director of Comedy, said: “We couldn’t be happier to introduce our fantastic cast for the upcoming season of The Cleaner.

“Greg and SHUK have done a terrific job finding some top comedy talent for Wicky to bounce off, figuratively speaking.”

The latest guest-star line-up follows big names appearing in previous series.

The very first episode featured Helena Bonham Carter as a guest star.

BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan reveals rugby star son has begged her to stop talking about her sex life

TV presenter Gabby Logan says rugby star son Reuben has begged her to stop talking about her sex life.

Gabby had told her podcast The Midpoint hubby Kenny was still “fully functioning” following a prostate cancer op.

She said of Northampton Saints player Reuben, 19: “He’s like, ‘Mum, can you stop talking about your sex life, because now I go into work, they play clips in the dressing room. It would be helpful if you could just shut up for a while’.

“And I’m like, ‘Actually Reuben, next week’s episode — just on that’.”

Gabby, 51, added: “We don’t just talk about my sex life, can I just say.”

Former Scotland international Kenny had previously revealed the couple’s sex life was not what it once was after his cancer recovery.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022 before undergoing treatment on the disease.

Research has shown that 76 per cent of men who are treated for prostate cancer experience erectile dysfunction.

Appearing on his wife’s podcast last year, he explained: “Six months on, I would say I’m physically 100 per cent, mentally 100 per cent, feel good.

“From a sexual point of view, it’s not consistent. As the surgeon said to me, this could take 18 months.

“Within a month, I was getting movement, where he says, ‘That’s amazing’. So it’s just not as consistent.”

It came after he had revealed many men use a penis pump to help get back to normal erectile function.

During an episode of The Midpoint podcast in September 2022, Gabby joked: “You’ve been getting to grips with your penis pump on your own!”

Kenny hit back by adding: “If you ever walk in and see my penis pump, you’ve got to get out.”

The 52-year-old former wing made 70 appearances for Scotland during his career.

Son Reuben is into his second year as a professional at Northampton, having made his debut in September 2023.

The flanker has also featured for England at under-18 level and been named in the under-20 squad in the past.
