Bit of a break from the Italian stuff. So this place has been on the map for a while. It’s a bit of a local fave of mine. I’ve done three revisits and on the last visit the place had been badly vandalised. A few months ago rumours started circulating that there had been a fire here. I’d passed it from a distance and seen as much. In the end I bit the bullet and went for a look. It could have been a total burn-out. It’s pretty far gone in terms of the kitchen and the upstairs but some of the roof and floors still remain. Ironically some of the vegetation has now been cleared from the out-buildings. I thought I’d do this report so you can see what’s left. Also spent a bit more time on the out-lying buildings too.
Why mindless idiots do this, I’ve no idea. It would have stood no chance as there was no way the fire-engines could have got down to the house to put the fire out given its location.
Outdoor toilet still in tact!
