A one-bedroom bungalow that has gone on the market for a whopping £220,000 has been mocked for looking more like a garden shed.

The tiny property is just 24 sq m (259 sq ft) - a quarter of the size of a six-yard box on a football pitch.

It features an open-plan kitchen and lounge, with a toilet and a bedroom.

The property listing boasts it has been recently built with a "high standard of finish throughout", including a "walk-in shower" in the bathroom and an "induction hob" in the kitchen.

Home hunters were quick to poke fun at the price of the wood-clad property in St Andrews, northeast of Edinburgh, Scotland.

For a cheaper price, you could buy six houses in Shildon, Co Durham - the cheapest place to live in the UK - for that where homes typically sell for £35,000.

Louis Pilfold joked: "Did they typo an extra zero?

Ben McLeish quipped: "Induction hob though."

One added: "A shedload of money."
