Hello all, I haven't visited let alone posted for a long time but I thought I would share this find.

I must have driven past this house hundreds, if not thousands of times and never been aware of it. I only noticed it because I as a passenger for a change.

From the information I could gather it was built for a local businessman and his family in the 1930s and was gutted by fire at some point in the late 1960s or very early 70s. I have been told that the man and his wife died in the fire. I wasn't aware of this until after my visit.

On with the pictures...

The bathroom seemed the most intact room but due to the absence of an upper floor, this was the best shot I could get

One of the few remaining glass bricks in the stairway window

Hope you enjoyed looking :smile:
 
Yes it just looks more like that than it does house!
There are a few deco style in Kettering (not derelict Im afraid lol) cant figure out if I love em or hate em!
 
Just love Art Deco and surreal derelict Art Deco even better!

Trees on the balcony show how long its been left like this and the rads half hidden, such a shame it would have been wonderful...but still looks great!

Yeah being a passenger spotter helps avoid the whiplash and near misses in the ditch I've suffered from wen driving past potential sites.
 
I'm trying to find out more. The archives in the local library for the local newspaper only go up to 1930! There is more to tell about this house.
