I went past this place on a trip out.

I could not resist taking a look around it so here I am, Here we have is a fully derelict farm and bungalow. Although the bungalow was locked, I got a great explore around the farmhouse, although I nearly got hit in the face by a pigeon. :eek:

This has been visited by someone else not too long ago, I decided to disclose the location in case any more magpies come around. There is a great selection of birds, shame that the barn owl wasn't there.

Sorry, some of the shots could have been better.

Nice pictures. I'm surprised to see that there is still a picture rail fitted, normally these would be removed during wallpapering. Not a bad looking house although roof needs repairing.
 
Hugh Jorgan; I'm surprised to see that there is still a picture rail fitted said:
Why on earth remove the picture rail (same would go for plate racking) when wallpapering? Very common in high ceilinged Victorian/Edwardian housing, the normal procedure is to bring the ceiling colour down the wall to the upper surface of the rail and run the wall paper or wall colour up to the lower surface of the rail. When done in high ceilinged rooms this has the effect of making the ceiling appear lower, strangely when picture rail is applied in low ceilinged rooms, the lowering effect is not apparent - the sitting room in our weaver's cottage has been so fitted at some time, but it makes no apparent visual impact on the already low boarded ceiling. High ceilings came in when gas or oil chandeliers became the norm in ordinary dwellings and height was needed to stop one walking into them.

Yes Dirus, I agree and you are correct but I was referring to during the late sixties and seventies when Formica was the in thing and people were encouraged to remove their frame and panel doors for hollow core doors and kitchen units were transformed. That would be an opportunity to remove (the old-fashioned) picture rail. But what I like to see when someone does a report of a house is the original frame and panel doors and the picture rail intact.

This would have been renovated in the 1950's to make way for more modern facilities. Such as electricity and running water.
