I haven't been on here for a while to be able to post anything so I'm hoping this is a new find. I'd had my eye on it for a while and just needed the precious time to give it a look over. The old farmhouse itself is sealed up tighter than Tupperware with metal shutters everywhere but the barnyard has an assortment of buildings and somebody was still using them for storage but as nobody was about it was a great opportunity to peruse the dereliction and decay.

Smashed windows could be the obvious reason the house had been secured.

The yard was overgrown with high brambles and weeds and the barn and stable block opposite were in a poor state compared with the main house.

The cow shed was similarly on that same downward spiral.

Not a great deal to see but a nice little explore despite there being little in the way of anything but decaying timber and collapsing roofs and piles of rotting manure.

Thanks for looking.
 
I'd be a bit careful exploring the barn, what the hell is keeping it upright I couldn't spot, I enjoyed the pics, Thanks
 
Several roof timbers had completely collapsed at one end of the cow shed otherwise it was really all solid ground/concrete floors. I certainly wasn't getting up on any roofs.
 
Great little find bud - thanks for sharing
As far as the barn goes it looks very solid - if you look at the roof ridge line - its really straight, thats normally a good indication if its buckling or under stress - looks like it has steel post supports - think the rotten boards on outside are just yorkshire board cladding.
