We seem to be suffering from pylons this week....;) This one's no exception, but it's Picture 10 I draw your attention to, though it's helpfully labelled Picture 11.

The arrangement of the room is absurd, but why would any agent with three brain cells take a photo and then choose it to go on Rightmove?

Sorry, we've been there, done that....and even with my appalling short-term memory, somehow, I remember.

Very slight hints of Totnes - in bedspread, sofa cover and is that statue a goddess....

The late owner who was wheelchair bound (photo 6 has a the wheelchair lift) had an obsession with blue, wallpapered the lounge ceiling (when they were abled) and probably done no improvements to the house - excluding the walk in shower and lift since 1974.

I think that counts as the saddest house I've seen for a long time.

There's just a strong impression of someone who didn't have much of a life because of illness and didn't even have the money to maintain the house reasonably (presumably loss of income caused by the illness).

It must have been so depressing for them having to continue living in that house and try and make it do - on top of the illness itself:(

I confess that my main worry about that house (as a potential buyer) would be not so much the work needing doing on it - but I would feel distinctly uneasy in a home thats probably seen more than its fair share of sadness and frustration.

Not sure what you mean about the layout, I can't see any other way of configuring it. )

By knocking it into the house next door!

I agree you can't improve what's there but it sucks so should be priced accordingly.

But it isn't it's (over)priced based on it historic qualities completely ignoring it's practicality.
