I tried to find this place last week with Brewtal, however it turned out to surrounded by thick heath and brambles and was a total pain in the ass to get too, so we gave in.
I decide to go for a little walk this weekend to try and get to it from a different direction hoping there was a much easier route. I took a major detour following the most overgrown 'Public Footpath' I've ever seen, but I got there.
The History
This house is located behind Princes Mushroom farm, which closed down in 2003. I would assume that the house became derelict around the same time that the mushroom farm closed down. Princes Mushrooms has now become a Gatwick Car park (A pretty good use for it tbh)
The Explore
Looking at the couple of reports of this house from a few years back it looked fairly intact. However the years really have taken their toll and the place and its quite rapidly being reclaimed by nature. Its a total pig to get to. Brewtal you were right about this one being one for the winter!
There appears to have been a fire because the ceiling is collapsing and is totally inaccessible, not that would want to go up there anyway!
To summarise, the house was pretty Riggity Riggity Wrecked Son.
It's Tina Turner and her Bunsen burner!
