The 22-acre island is said to be rich in birdlife and wildlife with a coastline encompassing cliffs, coves and a shingle beach.

The advert for the island, on sale through Goldcrest Land & Forestry says: “Porpoises, dolphins, whales, basking sharks and otters are often seen in the crystal clear waters surrounding, while the long summer days and the warm current of the Gulf Stream ensure a rich feeding ground for seabird and aquatic life.”

“Here, you can truly escape from reality, take a deep breath and enjoy what nature can offer. It is a lovely space to camp and live off what you’ve caught from the sea, swimming, kayaking or sailing by day and enjoying the huge unpolluted skies by night.”
