Spotted this a few months back on our way to a friend's wedding reception. Now that's hardly the time to investigate, being with Mrs Badger and her parents and in our best gear too. We returned recently to get these, but annoyingly couldn't get inside-at least that means the bad guys haven't been in though. I've got no details on the place other than Google Street view which shows signs of it being lived in (lots of trees, crap modern car, crap modern caravan, kiddies trampoline etc) in 2009. Since then it's been emptied with no recent signs of life except for the working farmyard behind the stables. In my ignorant view I assume that it's late Victorian but am ready to be corrected. I hope this gives you a feel of the place.....

I'm assuming that the Ivy relics are still there because no one could be bothered to go that high to remove them. I like them though.

There's nearly always gas bottles and tyres isn't there? Looking at the brickwork it doesn't look to have been pulled about or extended in it's life......

Out the back there were what appeared to have once been stables. I like subsidence and cracks so that's why this photo is here. Also there was what appeared to be a working farmyard behind this.

Judging by the rendering and a few other details it looks like someone has loved this place not so long ago....

Oil fired boiler in one of the out-buildings. The tank was still 1/4 full. No sign of bad guys ever knowing this place exists.

Being from the gutter myself (and spending my life getting out of it) I appreciate the beauty of this.

After seeing this wanky porch I thought "yes"! "Wer'e in". Sadly the place is all secure. At least this means it's not trashed.

So, all we have is through the windows.

You can't see it but there looked to be stairs going down through that door. OOOOH! CELLAR!

I am an AGA nerd. I won't bore you with the details of this one though. I liked the floor tiles too.

You know you've made it if you own a house where the front door has it's knob in the middle

So there it is. A place I shall keep my eyes on.
