Wouldn't normally post this up as a report as they were both quite small and sealed tight so limited to externals/outbuildings only. The second one was so cute though that I thought it deserved a report.

The first place is a roadside bungalow just east of Billinghay on the A153. On Google Earth Street View the windows aren't boarded up but now the place is sealed tight. Nothing spectacular but here are a few pix:

And some slowly decaying outhouses:

This second place is far more rewarding but, again, sealed tight. Spied through the bushes as I drove past so stopped off on the return leg of the journey. This 'Round house' is also on the A153, this time on the west side of Anwick. The picture from Street View is dated March 2010 and the place is empty then so has been empty for some time. It was listed on April 1980 and described as a 19th century lodge in red brick with a conical thatched roof. Here's the picture:

The delightful verandah supported on 4 facetted wooden pillars:

One of the pretty far-gone out-houses:

Hope someone saves this delightful little place:

Here's a few distant shots of the near-by Haverholme Priory:

Thanks for looking!
 
That little thatched cottage is so cute! Such a shame it's just been left, excellent as always HughieD :)
 
I found the round house when I did Haverholme a couple of years back - It was sealed then but not so overgrown. Eyed that trapdoor in the roof up but didn't have the means to try it......
 
In agreement that the little round house is lovely and must be saved!:) Your shots of the priory are stunning. Well worth posting.
 
Smashing collection.The Round Lodge is a beauty and as you say well worth saving.
