Went for an explore with UE-OMJ, and along the way, followed up on a hunch that i had about this place. turned out to be a good little snoop, with great company...

This house was once owned by a well-known campaigner, who died a few years back. It has sat derelict for a few years, gradually being overtaken by trees. As with most places, housing development looms. Inside, nearly all the contents have been removed, but very little vandalism seems to have taken place. There are quite a few sinks and toilets (some still with loo roll on the rail), and locks on some internal doors, perhaps suggesting the owner used to put a number of people up in the rooms. The decor is not to everyone's liking, but interesting none the less. it is a beautiful house that would make a lovely home with some hard work and money.

spent a good couple of hours here, hope you enjoy...

Awesome photos there, not sure I want to add any of mine now, you put them all to shame...

It certainly was an interesting explore, particularly how it got its nickname :lol:
 
Thanks.

Haha yeah, that was the moment when i walked in, and wondered if you had found a passage to somewhere!!

Upload em, i'm sure they are great!
 
Ok, here goes. If anyone has a Nikon Wide angle they want to donate to me for xmas I'd be well happy :)

Great photo's, a fabulous house. I would date that lovely old fireplace which has been retro-fitted with the gas fire to C1900-1910 because it is damn near identical to one I had in a house that was built in 1907.

Particularly like the dated wallpaper in the bathroom. What a shame some idiot has kicked in a few of the stair ballustrades. Still, all in all, well preserved, thanks for posting..
