Freddies House

This was a solo visit and wasn't sure what to expect as it was in a built up area. With a little bit of climbing I found my way in. It has seen a bit of vandalism and the usual smashing of windows, everything inside turned over, but an interesting time was had.

So after doing a bit of research i found out he was a former Mayor and awarded MBE in one of the New Year’s Honours List. I struggled to find out how long the house has been empty, must have been a good few years, the calendar in the kitchen was October 2004.

on with the photos


thanks for looking

That's a great house, a lot of interesting stuff. thanks for sharing.

Obviously no idea where you are but it seems odd for somewhere that 'nice' to be empty and unsold for so long?!

been in the joinery trade all my life, and first one I have ever seen, easy enough to make just never seen one

That's a very nice house, worth a renovation. I see that the former gentleman was a member of the East India Club, jolly good show, chaps. Shades of Jeeves and Wooster here, I say.

what a house, think I might have to move and if I cannot buy it, might have to look into squatters rights lol.... need a workshop too and that place has it all..... such a waste...

Hate to tell you this but squatters rights for residential buildings were revoked in 2014 and it's now criminally illegal to squat residential premises. You'll just have to win the lottery!

Love the House, Make a lovely home

Sad to see a nice house go down this path. Love the picture window in the bathroom. Good work JSP.

Great set there, looks a great explore

Thanks for all the comments, I agree it is a waste of a good house and yes that inverted window is very unusual, bet they had a bit of trouble getting the radiator to fit.

Nice one and a great find.

Yes, I really like that too, and the shape of the room. Goes well together.
