Available: Vintage, cosy property in urban environment with good transport links. Excellent plumbing, despite a few leaks over the years.

Snobs may dismiss it as bog standard, but if you are feeling flush, this Edinburgh real estate may be worth splashing out on.

The former busman's toilet is up for sale and expected to fetch more than £30,000.

The single-storey lavatory was previously engaged as a relief stop for Edinburgh's bus driving community who had reached the outskirts of the city.

Now the wee property at the Maybury Roundabout is being marketed by agents Graham and Sibbald.

But you'll have to be prepared to spend a few pennies to own it.

One offer of £15,000 has already been given the bum's rush.

A spokesman admitted: "We hope to be bogged down with inquiries."

It is unlikely the building could be converted for any kind of residential use, despite the allure of its en suite facilities.

Instead, if your company's public relations is going down the pan, Graham and Sibbald suggest it may provide a very visible advertising site.
