Found this little tardis about 3 weeks ago...

Spotted the ivy chimney stack swung round and parked up.... Less cautious on this one as was obvious it wasn't inhabited hehe:mrgreen:

After a somewhat thorny entry I entered what seemed to have been a room of sorts in a former life... More like a greenhouse now as it boasted more vegetation than Qew gardens.

Anyway, husband wondered off leaving me to it, he seemed to be convinced that was it... How wrong he was!!

I left the front and walked down a footpath and found a 'door' (I use the word loosely)....

The guard was either sleeping or had a heavier night than me so I slipped past him without problems into a HUGE set of houses all linked to each other.

Each room seemed to have aged better with time the further back I went, ending with a caravan...

I had set eyes on my very first Aga.... Hence the name... I was in my element!!

Peels paint overload, ivy that resembled tumbling waves flowing through the doors and windows, this was certainty a unique find to me and I loved every minute!

Excited to share with you.... No history sadly chaps......

Who knows where strange paths may lead? What a great find. Good to see your perseverance paid off. Love the pano.
 
Nice set here, with the alarm box giving a good indication as to when the place was last lived in (if it was actually fitted here), but still retaining the old 15amp sockets. Sorry to disappoint, but you are still looking for your first true 'Aga'. The Ideal 85 pictured here shows the classic failure in this model, the top plate cracked at mid point, where the oven joins the firebox/grate - which is why most of them ended up in the scrap furnace.

I can't say I'm upset that the Aga hunt will continue:)

Thanks for your info!
