A big thank you to Jon6D for helping out with this location!

The cottage is deeply embedded in a stunning woodland, completely overgrown and to my knowledge abandoned since approximately 2010. From what I could gather from the contents of the property, and elderly couple lived here (the wife born in 1924), I believe she either passed away or was moved to a home due to her ill health and the husband moved downstairs as all sorts of care assists were in what would have been the lounge, along with a bed and wardrobe. As a surveyor, I know the house is structurally sound, just fallen into a state of disrepair.

It was quite emotional to see how everything seemed to have fallen into decay as the couple became more elderly, they'd lived there all their married life. They had records dating back to the 1930's and numerous photos, letters and birthday cards. I don't have any images of the exterior, this thread is more about the contents and the memories that remain in this house, as well as the infamous clash of patterned wallpaper and curtains!

The house was pitch black, hence why my photos aren't brilliant quality! French Bulldog photobombing is standard now, enjoy!
