I don't think there is much of a difference. I would say, "No, there isn't." To me, the answer, "No, there isn't any," implies there could be more than one attic, and I don't know of any houses that would have more than one attic.
Hope that answers your question.

You cannot use any because attic is singular. We can only use any for something that is plural or uncountable.
Are they any pens ...?
Is there any water ...?
