The adopted Scottish home of the late Lord Richard Attenborough has been put on the market.

Buyers are being given the chance to snap-up two separate lots at Rhubodach Farmhouse, located on the north-east of the Isle of Bute.

One contains the main farmhouse, a two-bedroom cottage and 48 acres of woodland and has gone on the market for £680,000.

The other includes a three-bedroom cottage with a garden and view of the water and is available for £175,000.

The site is located to numerous other landmarks including the Victorian Gothic Mansion of Mount Stuart, Bute Museum, Rothesay Castle and the gardens of Ascog Hall and Ardencraig.

Lord Attenborough bought the 1,700-acre site on the island in 1988.

The film director said he fell in love with it at first sight and described it as “having the unmistakable feel of home”.

Along with his wife he would often entertain Holywood guests at the large, white farmhouse.

In 2010 he sold the surrounding forestry estate to a community buy-out group for £1.5million, but kept the estate.

In a piece he wrote for the Bute tourism guide, produced in 2013, Lord Attenborough described his love for his adopted Scots home.

He said: “My wife Sheila and I had no idea what to expect.

“We had decided to invest in and support the natural world in some way and someone suggested that we take a look at the Isle of Bute.

‘What we found exceeded all expectation.

“It was love at first sight.

“We knew almost immediately that this was somewhere we wanted to live; the awesome peace and expansive beauty totally captivated us.”

Following his death in 2014 the site has been put up for rent with groups of 10 able to stay at the main farmhouse for up to £1,700 per week.
