This popped up on my Facebook feed this morning. Too this board not to share.

No property is "unsaleable" (as she says) . If structurally sound, what she means is no one wants to buy it at the price she wants or the EAs originally suggested to market it at.
Drop the price, and from the pictures , it's a major redecorating job (mainly repainting) and full  bathroom refurb, probably nothing more.
I suspect they hope the publicity will sniff out some interest....

Well, that colour scheme could seem very cheery on a cold winter morning.

Or on acid.
I love the yellow units and the lino. The brown ones, and the bathroom, not so much.

On 'Youlgreave Avenue'. Who decided that was a nice cheery name for a road?

Place names don't always mean what they sound like in modern usage.
For example, there is  this village in a neighboring county:

Youlgreave or Youlgrave is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Peak District, lying on the River Bradford, 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) south of Bakewell. Both spellings are used on different local signposts and on different maps. The name possibly derives from "yellow grove" coming from the ore mined locally being yellow in colour,[2][3] though historically the village was called "Giolgrave".[4]
Youlgreave was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers[7] and being worth sixteen shillings.[8]
he following is a list of spellings of the name of 'the most mis-spelt village' as compiled by local historian and former teacher at Youlgreave school, Mr J W Shimwell:
Giolgrave, Yolgrave, Jalgrave, Hyolgrave, Hyolegrave, Yolgreff, Yoleg, Yolegreve, Yolegrave, Youlgraue, Welegreve, Yoelgreve, Oelgreve, Yelegreve, Yeolegreve, Yolgreave, Yolgreve, Yollegreve, Jol've, Zolgrelf, Yollgreve, Yoligrewe, Yollegrewe, Youlgreve, Zolgreff, Youlgrave, Yolgreyva, Yolgreyve, Yeolgreave, Youlgreave, Yellegrave, Yollogreve, Yollograve, Yeollgreave, Youldgreave, Yograve, Isgrave, Yalgrove, Yolegreue, Jolegreue, lolegrave, Jholegreve, Yelegrave, Yellegrave, Iolgrave, Yholgreve, Yelgreve, Zolgreve,
It is only recently that the Highways Department has used 'Youlgrave', and the Ordnance Survey still use 'Youlgreave', so the argument continues.

Another pastel yellow kitchen. And striplights in the bedroom. Has potential though.

I think you'l find , according to the Estate Agent, those are still the original working fluorescent lights from the 17th century.
At least that's what he told me.

It was a school and they closed down and are now selling. Doesn’t include lakes which is a shame. Lots of property for the money, several houses, and on the edge of the AONB.
