A couple claim their historic 20-bed mansion that they bought for just £9,000 has become unsellable - despite it now being valued at £1.2million.
Fashion designers Charles and Patricia Lester MBE, who have made clothes worn by stars such as Barbara Streisand and Adele, originally bought Llanfoist House in Wales in September 1971.
The stunning Grade-II listed country house, that is believed to date back to 1690, has since sky rocketed in value - but the couple have failed to sell it even after slashing £350,000 off the asking price.
The couple say they have been stuck in limbo for decades due to regular landslides and leaks from a canal running adjacent to their home.
The canal is located around 70ft above the property at the top of a steep bank and has caused repeated serious leaks over the decades.
