Own a UK island with a castle for the same price as a London studio flat

The island of Torsa is up for sale for the first time in 85 years (Image: https://torsa-island.co.uk/) A picturesque Scottish island, complete with its own farmhouse, castle, woodland and beaches, has hit the market for a surprisingly affordable £1.

5 million. While this may seem steep, a quick comparison with London's property market reveals that the same amount would only secure a studio flat in the capital city. Yes, you heard it right - a single-room flat without a separate bedroom.

In fairness, the studio flat is a Grade II listed property situated in a historic building just a stone's throw away from Buckingham Palace. However, for the same price, one could purchase Torsa Island in Argyll, a breathtaking 270-acre mini-estate boasting a well-equipped three-bedroom farmhouse, a ruined castle and extensive beaches. Currently utilised as a holiday let, Torsa Island can be rented out entirely for private use.

However, the owners are now ready to pass it on to the right buyer. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
