One of UK's most remote homes on side of iconic mountain just won't sell as price drops by £50k

A house surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire Dales with no neighbours in sight has been reduced by £50,000. Although it has breathtaking views and no cars parked outside, this rustic property has no mains electricity or road access.
