First visited this place a number of years ago when it was first featured on Anglia news and was lucky enough to get permission although was not allowed up on the first floor. Have been back a couple of times since and made the 1st floor but not the 2nd.

Lol, I went in winter so not sure why everyone's banging on about nettles
I got an excellent pic of Black Shuck giving a performance on that organ somewhere

Hopefully the people who repurpose the materials will be able to retain part of the structure as originally built. Having moved an organ before, I can vouch for why it's still there. So Heavy!!!

Amazing place, thanks for showing.
It'll be interesting - but a little expensive, doing a whole conservative home & garden restoring work : ))

It would be interesting to know what those papers said on the chair and if they were dated. Great place by the looks of it.

The newspaper inside the drawing room was 1972, but there are bits of newspapers all over the house....

Cheers Bonesout, there's something about reading old newspapers. Found some under the floorboards of my parents house dating back to the 30's when the houses were built. It's just fascinating for me
