Good report, excellently captured

Found the garages, nowt else, also noted nearby there was a derelict farm, however we run out of light, and patience. Did we miss much.

There's quite a lot there, greenhouses mostly but also stables, a gardner's cottage, a rockery, fountain, outdoor pool, an avenue of pollarded trees and a pond with an island. Well worth a look but it took me a lot of fighting with brambles and nettles to get to them. The farm was the home farm of the estate, I took a look last time I was there and it was quite interesting (though empty apart from a knackered upright piano) but very rotten in places so I wouldn't trust the floors.

As to the paperwork, one of my contacts tells me that some of it at least has been removed on behalf of the surviving relatives and/or executors.

Cheers, may be worth another poke around if about, I found the pond with island, although this was dry.

Outbuildings

To be honest I missed them too but there are supposed to be several out buildings and at least one overgrown fountain. I think I need to pop down there for another look round at some point, just need to create a list of other things to see. Its a long way for one site

Hi matey, there are indeed other builidings all photographed by an eminent member of another forum I bumped into there but Ive never seen them spring up anywhere.
There is a couple of glasshouses,assorted sheds,water tank and pump,swimming pool and changing room and the fountain.
In a way I found them more interesting as they were new to me not having been in the numerous reports on the house itself.

I've tried 3 times to have a nosey around there, every time I've had my collar felt by a yocal local

And yes I was in stealth mode

We were anything but stealth, luck of the draw I guess.
