Exploring The House of Music near Whittlesey​

All alone amidst the flat fens near Whittlesey, we have this interesting derelict house.​


Explored Solo in April 2021 then again with another Urbex Champion. This is an interesting one as it has been clearly used by a band to do rehearsals. They have soundproofed some of the rooms and left a lot of their equipment, such as massive, huge speakers. Even out here miles from anything I’m sure someone would have heard those blasting out at 11.

History.

Trying to search out its history was a task. Not a lot of information out there. It first appears on a 1924 map with a now lost boundary wall that was gone by the 1950s. The farm across the road has a lot more history and it's very likely that they are or were owned by the same family. Have seen old reports before yet can no longer find.


The Find

Came upon this find by happily driving around. Saw it miles before I reached it and stopped to explore without hesitation.

The Explore.

Lovely day for exploring and took my time to look around. At a parking spot right next to the building, you can walk over the old garden right up to the building. Walking right round the building takes a minute as it’s a small house. 4L Rear of the House of music near Whittlesey 2021.jpgThe entrance is round the back and just next to the entrance is a small outhouse that’s not of much use.













As you enter you go into what must have been the kitchen, notice it has no modern build only a sink, and fireplace, rest of the room was full of random large old cupboards.

The next room has a lovely piano in the corner that was in good condition along with bits and pieces such as drum stands. Moving into the main living room you find more pieces of music equipment, speakers, and mic stands and the room has been insulated with polystyrene for soundproofing. The place must have been used by a band. I found one flyer for a Sammy Jay Cordes, looking her up she seems to be a talented busker in London, why she would be in a tiny house miles away in the Fens to rehearse is anyone’s guess.

Upstairs there were another 2 bedrooms with much of the same music equipment, in one had documents and bills dated from 2005 for a different address, that I thought was odd. The bathroom was in a smashed-up state, so no business could be had in there. Good day out here and mystery to be solved of who used this place to rock the night away.

Naked Explore Rating

Ease of Access 9 – Nice drive and an easy parking spot right outside. The building can be accessed around the back through a missing door. Only a loose bit of boarding hanging where the door used to be.

History 3 – Nothing of note. Near 100-year-old House.

Danger/Safety 8 – Building seems sound. Might step on a nail, apart from that it's safe.

Harassment 7 – A working farm is right across the road however on the day I went there was nobody about.

Interesting 7 – Higher points due to the mystery of its use as a rehearsal space along with location and the bits and pieces left behind.

Naked Rating of 34 out of 50

House looks lovely. It's interesting to see all the musical equipment left in each room. Were they supposed to come back? Nice find.
