I adore this old Victorian detached house and always have. I think there was a very elderly person living in it until very recently. It has since been boarded up and there are signs of vandalism in the following photos which is very sad. I just hope it doesn't get bashed down by developers. :(




Back of property. (Note old tile floor).

Back of house. On zooming right in on the upstairs window you can make out an old tassel lampshade.

This place has only recently been sold at auction, I think for 300,000. Apparently there was some fire damage. I've always loved this place when I drive past, bet it's packed with origional features. Just hope they get a move on with the renovations before it gets trashed!!!

Oh right. How long was it empty for? Whenever I went past I assumed some elderly folks lived there as everything looks really old and there was no vandalism until recently. Hope someone does it up rather than build flats there. If you have any other details can you pm me as this house has fascinated me for the last 12 years. :)
 
Finally managed to get a look around it. Shame you couldn't get inside. Well....you never know, your luck may change. Nice pics Waley!

I am gutted about not getting a look inside, especially now it's been sold so I missed the viewing opportunity but I will keep my eyes peeled. :)
 
You could always see if you can contact whoever now owns it and explain that you'd love to see inside it before it all inevitably gets ripped out:)

I contacted the place who auctioned it to see how much info I could find out, doubt they would be able to tell me who bought it though for data protection reasons.
 
You cant find out WHO it was sold to, but you cvan find the price it was sold for for freeon ourproperty
:)
Nice property, nice report, and good use of flash :mrgreen:
My biggest gripe is that the 'Womans Magazine' wasn't what I thought it would be! :p

LOL were you hoping for porn? :D Yeah my flash was going off something crazy, was worried the neighbours were going to call the police! We drove past the other day and noticed some yob had thrown a stone through the window. :( Yeah I found out the price from the property auctioneers, it went for £226,000 and apparently had some fire damage but the only evidence I saw of this was outside in the garden.
 
I Dont Understand How Chavs Find These Places Before, The Likes of us
we Document Things Like This, And Chaves, Well Do What They Do best And Chav The Place
There Like A Manget To A Derelict Building? What Posses Them To Be Attracted To such Places?
There Like Magnets To Them?
Is There Another Website? Chaved Places Or something? They Chav It Then Pic It?
It Really Pisses Me Of That people Can Do This To Such amazing Places!:mad:

Anyways, Sorry About the Rant!... This Places looks Really Special, would nice To See Some Inside Shots :)
 
Looks like the house where "The Young Ones"lived ....... :mrgreen:
Half expected Neil to poke his head out of a upper floor window....
 
house

fantastic report thank you. i love the old houses i know ive said this befor. i remember those old mags and the knitting paterns. thanks again.
 
We drive past during the week. Someone was in there as the upstairs window was open one day and then closed the next, probably the new owner. We are hoping they don't pull it down. :)
 
I am thinking this may be edwardian rather than victorian. Does anyone know the building's date, or is it guesswork?
 
From the tiles, barge-boards, chimney and that decorative florish over the ground floor windows I'd say it's late Victorian, about 1894-1898. Let's hope it isn't demolished and replaced with 10 new houses with gardens the size of the outside loo
