The Antiquated Farmhouse - May 2015

So slowly going through some places I did last year, an I have come to this place and what an effort it was to get here, the most thickest fog and many diversions from Kent through London and beyond, having to shine a torch to light the motorways and many country lanes, we had arrived and waited until that small ounce of light, but thats not to say we did not try to get inside in darkness/fog.

After a failed attempt at even seeing our hands in front of us, we decided a quick nap in the car and then we try as soon as it was light, well we couldn't wait much longer, so we napped for 30 odd mins and soon decided to get back out into the cold, an try an find this place across some fields without scaring some horses.

I had gone past this place many times, an often wondered if it was derelict or just used for storage or other, thankfully a fellow explorer on here showed his photos and soon got in contact with him, a brief chit chat and sure enough this was exactly what I had seen while exploring others in the area. Thanks mate!

Inside of course I had to light paint, but by the time we finished photographing downstairs, we headed upstairs and it was getting light, we was on a limited schedule so this was basically rushed, but what a gem this place turned out to be and really enjoyable explore from night to morning.

Enjoy folks!

Cheers buddy! bit weird angles here as it was rushed but it turned out alright in the end

Brilliant set! The kind of place I dream of finding. New on the site and live in rural Somerset so I'm sure there MUST be similar somewhere, just got to find them!

A brilliant set here. One of the very few reports that allows one to feel the daily life of a family living in those far off times. Having lived through those times I can relate to many of those objects - the dress making 'patterns' and box of cotton reels were the everyday requirements of the lady of the house. Thanks Mockingbird for bringing back a childhood image of my Mother I had long forgotten.

Nice to see you back on form again so many nice shots. Get well soon.

Beautiful set mate!
Loving the mansion polish!
