I was on my way to another adventure when I came across this place completely by accident. It's only because the trees and hedges had been cut that I saw it as I was driving past.

I couldn't get in, no matter how much I tried. Still found it an interesting quick mooch.

The house was fascinating, absolutely no chance of getting in there. There was a wasp nest and the Japanese knotweed was so thick!

Anyway, on with the photos.

PHOTO HEAVY.

























































 
Haha I was here a few weeks ago! I managed get into the house via a very small window - you didn't miss much in there. Also climbed in the mill through the back and set the alarms off straight away lol it's a good place to get some externals though; three derelict buildings in one place. Great shots Palmstrees11 :)

Oh wow! I'm impressed, I feared getting stuck! Lol. That house is incredible, I love the aerial sticking out the top, lol. I really didn't know it was there and I'm still new to this exploring. Whereabouts are you based? I could do with an exploring buddy sometimes. I wuss out occasionally.

Yes it wasn't the easiest getting in and out of the house which is actually flats. The top half is not accessible, and downstairs is just bare, empty rooms. It was quite entertaining climbing in that small window in the mill, trying to get in before anyone came around the corner with my two friends laughing their heads off lol when the alarm went off they ran off and let's just say I got out a lot quicker than I got in. I'm based in the St Ives area, I'm always out and about so drop me a PM :)
 
Now that's made me really chuckle! No chance I was going near wasps, evil flying b******s! Lol. Thank you, I feel like I'm treading on well worn ground with my "finds" though.

You definitely have more of an explorer in you than me. I get spooked too easily! Lol. But I know the window you're talking about in the mill, how the bloody hell did you get in there?!! Lol. I commend you for getting in and out of there �� Cheers, will do ��
 
I live extremely local to this and was going to do a report but if there are alarms inside the mill its a shame, there are some pictures on google of how it looked I was excited to get in to this one!
 
It is a shame that it's alarmed. I couldn't have got in the gap that I saw. I'd be well s d truly stuck! Lol. In glad I saw it, loved the covered house.
 
Cheers, I find these kind of places intriguing. I bumped into an old couple walking their dog right by it. I told them what I was doing and they seemed genuinely disappointed that I couldn't get in there. Never judge a book by its cover I guess :)
