Jfc. There's a point where heritage becomes wreck and this building got there a long time ago. It's fucked. Just knock the fucking thing down. Why is it even worth any money if you can't live in it? I mean that's the point of a dwelling isn't it.

Massive no from me...not even if I won the Euro Millions.

It's not the cost that would be put me off but the aggro of it being listed.

Nothing a bit of polyfilla and some MDF couldn't fix.

One for DIY SOS

It’s desperately sad that someone was living in it until recently. The video of the interior is just shocking no one could have been happy living in those conditions. Gave me the shivers.

I love it. If I won the lottery, that is the type of building I’d love to buy and restore. Would ensure that lots of those photos etc got pride of place in the “newer” version of the house.

@JemimaPyjamas

The info written under Directions is, er, unusual...
That’s the What3Words location. Everywhere in the country is divided into small grids - each grid is assigned 3 unique words - as a way of others being able to locate roughly where you are. I only heard about this recently.

Because it’s listed you can’t knock it down and build something decent and practical. There is however great romance in derelict buildings, this one will break someone’s heart for sure because it will sell, they will enjoy the challenge of restoring it - as long as the money doesn’t run out.
