Massive thanks to Gromr123 for the nudge about this one.
H and I went for a nose a few days beforehand but given how hot it was and crossed with the fact she wasn't really dressed for scrambling through bushes I decided to return one evening. I was out in the car one day after work and Grom and I were going to go the next day so I figured I'd scope the place out. We had a few places lined up so I didn't want to waste time where possible. I was planning to go somewhere else nearby anyway so figured I'd have a quick look as I was minutes away. Visiting alone was a terrible idea.
I parked up and got to the point H and I found that looked like a hidden and quiet route, it was nice and easy so I kept going. Once inside the house I stared to regret my decision. I could hear people with very distinct accents nearby with barking dogs. After a bit of tiptoeing around and a few pics I realised the voices were getting a bit closer, and eventually they were right outside. As luck would have it I was directly under the flight path of Gatwick. I made the most of a bad situation and used the loud noise to my advantage to move about, but it got to the point they had circled the house so made a run for it when I had the chance. I was thinking I may have been spotted or heard going in, but I guess it may have just been bad timing etc. and nobody knew I was there. Who knows, but it got the heart rate up a notch anyway! It is worth bearing that in mind if you plan to visit. From the accent I heard, they are not the kind of people you want to mess with.
I haven't been able to find out any history I am afraid.
Thanks for looking!
