As poor as the condition is, it's not the worst thing about that property:
"FOR SALE BY MODERN METHOD OF AUCTION"0 -
Not far from that, £530k asking price, with drive
Someone likes their colourful wallpaper.

Impressive. Not content with throwing garish, clashing colours all around the house, they extend the same theme to the garden too0 -
This is not for sale but I've always wanted to share it. I pass it often on the bus. I've never elsewhere seem such a bizarre arrangement that appears to attempt to split two flats so each "has their own front door".
For a start, How on Earth do you get any furniture in?

Maidensgrove
Lower Assendon
Pishill

The toy truck in the carpetless bedroom is heartbreaking
I know that area quite well, having spent some of my childhood just a couple of miles away. One of the poorest areas within an county that is one of the poorest 10% of the UK.0 -

Know that area very well- our old stamping ground. Everything around there is eye-wateringly expensive. House reminds me of how my parent's house looked when we were selling it actually. What EA's usually describe as 'in need of updating'.
There's a splendid pub at Russells Water btw....
