The 3rd splore in an epic day out with SK, Mr Bones and Lowri

Built in 1876 by Ernest Seth Smith for his brother Charles, and then by Sir Charles Tennant (M.P.) from 1898-1911, then in 1911 the Charrington (Brewing) family aquired it.

The Ministry of Supply brought Broadoaks in 1946 and absolutley ruined the building with a huge 'modern'post war extension

Its a nice building with some very ornate features but its sadly not 'derelict' enough for me

Beautiful pictures of a stunning building.....but I know what you mean about it not being 'derelict enough', it's almost like an 'open day'. Thanks for sharing.
 
Abandoned rather than derelict but a corker none the less!

What as fantastic building, the decrotive work in there is fantastic.

Judging by the grounds though it is fairly well maintained, that grass must be cut every couple of weeks.

I guess timing is of the essence with this one!
 
That looks too clean to be derelict. The outside pics looked as if it could still be lived in! It's a great looking building.
 
Great stuff nelly nice narration and the usual bang tidy piks. I know what you mean about not being decayed enough for you tho, when you do go in somewhere pristine its like something is missing finding a place thats over trashed is the same too don't ya think? , but when you find somewhere perfectly inbetween its BINGO!! .

Saying that tho still wouldnt mind runing about in here for abit ;)
 
What an amazing looking place! I believe this is very near me so I must find out more! :D
 
The beauty of the tidy parts makes me dread what could be in store. The water damage from a leaking roof has already collapsed part of a ceiling and badly damaged the corner of another room. This is how it begins. Unchecked, the place is probably less than 5 years away from looking like some of the other ruined mansions on here. Especially if it becomes a target of thieves and vandals. I hope it will fall into caring hands.
 
lets hope the place don't get trashed now the names out, i removed my report about 3 months ago as heard thieves were lookin for the fire places.
 
This was in the public domain before I posted this report fella, do try to keep up ;)
