By good chance I passed this and decided to give it a look. The whole place is for sale although I don't know long it has been on the market for. The site consisted of a barn, storage areas, and two terraced cottages. All together the total land is 22 acres and is on the market for £400,000!



There wasn't much left inside these cottages of any particular interest and one was missing its staircase, but I'll get to that later!







I managed to find a paper dating from 8th May 1980:



Making my way through the living room, I found a small square room, looking up I could see the upstairs landing and markings on the wall from where stairs used to be. By jumping I could barely get my hands on the upstairs floor. Looking up I could see some really nice wallpaper that I just had to get a photo of so looking around I built myself a platform and managed to haul myself onto the landing:





And it was all for this:





I fought my way through the weeds to the second cottage. This one was crammed with stuff, and actually had stairs!



















The barn didn't have much in it and in hindsight I wish I hadn't gone in the upstairs room as it was host to two barn owls who I spooked when I entered. Unfortunately in all of the commotion I didn't manage to get a photo of either one:







Thanks for looking,

Rubex

Wow, that barn is in better living condition than the house is. I was surprised to read from your report that this place is on the market, but whoever buys it is going to have to spend a disgusting amount of money to get it fit for living in. You had to climb up to get some photos of wallpaper - you know the saying "When the going gets tough - the tough get going".....Good photos.
 
Nice one, cheers.
Any idea on where I might find details of the sale/vendor?

Sorry, I can't remember. But if you drop me a PM you can have a look yourself ;)

Wow....you're turning them in. Are there any houses still occupied in the place you live. Great set again.

Seems not hey :laugh: and there's still plenty more to see :)
