A couple who accidentally bought a 120-year-old derelict mansion in Dunoon instead of a flat in Glasgow are offering stays at their home after they transformed the building into holiday apartments.
Cal Hunter and girlfriend Claire Segeren paid £10,000 for the wrong property after a lot numbers mix-up four years ago - but decided to keep it and renovate it themselves.
Then 26-year-old Cal, from Hull, was tasked with putting a bid on a home in Glasgow city centre but accidentally bid on the wrong unit, leaving them with Jameswood Villa - an uninhabitable property in Dunoon.The young couple appeared on BBC One Scotland show Accidental Renovators as they faced a daunting list of problems for the property, which had lain empty for more than 30 years.
