A visit with sweet_pea & Miss.sweet_pea



After several attempts, we finally managed a successful explore in this area, we'd tried several times to no avail.
We'd even got to the stage of jokingly calling it 'the curse' which made us even more determined to finally break it.
We wanted to explore this house for one reason, and one reason only... the bathroom!
I made a return visit, the photos from which can be found in this post also, to get some decent shots in daylight.
Presumably the house once had several guests staying, though I can imagine it wasn't to everyone's taste!


This really did give me a chuckle on our journey there!

Another little area in the cellar was filled with these shelves

Whoever came up with the decorating in this house deserves a medal

I'm sure the house once housed many guests

this place still standing? Recced this recently, all the trees and foliage etc all gone. No wonder you went in darkness, it is wide open for all the curtain twitchers and people from road etc to see now. Nice one
 
I knew I wanted to make a second trip to get a half decent photograph of the bathroom wallpaper and to see
the house in daylight. It was literally a spur of the moment trip there on my own, my first solo explore. I felt a
bit uneasy on my own, I have to admit, I do like a bit of company! I've updated the first post with my photos
from visit 2, I hope you enjoy :p

Nice work mate... some nice details there :)

Must have been splendid to be lord of the manner in that bathroom, sending a log down stream whilst perusing the exquisite aquarium wallpaper... the stuff dreams are made of :D

Love it!
 
Thats done my hangover no good!
