I know this is an old one, I have seen it before, but I can watch this one over again and again. I laugh until I pee every time Remon calls the Bidets "Foot Washers". LOLOL!!! One of the things I love about you two is your innocence. Hugs to you both! Nana
So sad when so many people are homeless and homes like this are just left to rot. Beautiful mansion,hope someone buys it before it’s to late. Great video guys Thankyou .
Vandalism by thugs upsets me to no end. I can't imagine why such a lovely home would be vacant! Wish owners would let homeless families, or families who struggle to pay for shelter, live in these empty homes, before they start decaying. Why let them sit in ruin. Thank you, lovely young men, for sharing your amazing videos. I would never get to see such amazing places myself. You take me on your journey and enlarge my world! Much love from Texas♡
Hi Maureno and Remon, Explomo, "Money can enable you to buy items, but not a life." - What a great beginning of this incredibly interesting video of the millionaire's mansion! - This statement has reeally depth and is so true, when you consider the mere fact, that you cannot take anything with you after you have passed away. - It was very interesting, walking together with you through these romms of that immense villa. - The person, who had this mansion built, didn't really seem to have good taste in some way. But however thank you for this amazing explore. You did again an excellent job with filming and commenting, and I enjoyed watching. Wishing you all the best, safe explores, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
Nice to take a peek into how the rich and famous live. They held no expense in purchasing such magnificent items to enhance their home. Loved the tree-house. What fun that would be as a child. Their fountains were beautiful. That swimming pool was beautiful. Such a wonderful find. Thank you once again.
Best explorers in my opinion. Your videos are informative, not so over the top like many so called "Spooky" trimmed material, they are long enough, not too short, not too long, just right and I love that you show interesting details and try to explain the history, if possible and available. And you guys are so gentle and respectful, I love it. Really awesome job you do here! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank for your appreciation and care you all take when going through these abandoned properties. I can feel your true appreciation of the original builders and their craftsmanship.
I love the passion and care you guys have for these abandoned properties. Even listening to how you speak about what you find, you speak with such kindness & respect
I want to know why and what happened to the people that use to live in this home. You both are so young you make me smile. just keep doing what your doing life is way to short.
The grounds are amazing. Such a beautiful mansion and its big for a big family. Why? Would anyone let it fall apart and not care. Unless they passed and there was nobody to look after it.
I think the owner of the palace is an Arab from the Middle East because we Arabs and Muslims use the bathroom like this, we use the bathroom that washes the lower areas after using the bathroom. Also inside the palace there are some designs from the Middle East.
Sha Ron I said, "I think the owner of the palace is an Arab from the Middle East." In the Arab Middle East, there are many religions, not only Islam. There is a Christian, a Jew, and a Muslim. They are all Arabs. And yes, we Muslims do not drink alcohol.
This is my first video with you guys. Very well done! As you started the tour inside the home and saw all the black mold and decay I immediately thought the roof is leaking and no doubt so is the plumbing. The buckets of water upstairs confirmed my suspicions. What a shame! It could have been saved years ago but not now. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it. Oh, and I’ve never seen that many bathrooms! Lol
This place it breath taking beautiful,wonder why it’s empty,what happened .i love love the grounds outside ,I could move into one of them .The tree house was amazing,I wonder if the children appreciate what they had .bathroom is amazing.loved the stairs ,the pool was incredible.thank you both for taking us around with you,love you guys stay safe much love Ann uk
Really good vid! This mansion was also explored by other guys here on UA-cam. They visited the place a second time and found (by a tip of a video watcher) a secret flat. The entrance is on the second floor of the library through a fake bookshelf, a closet and then you are in.
Thank you so very much Pamela - amazing to hear you enjoy our videos that much. It’s our pleasure to share all of them with you. PS thanks for the tip :-)
I live in Bangkok Thailand, and all the toilets here have a "bum gun" which is a flexible hose next to the toilet with a trigger nozzle on the end. You just point at the mud and cleanse with water. Toilet paper is only used for drying, definitely NOT for cleaning. I hate having to use toilet paper to clean when I head back to my Western style home.
@@dexterford8094 see YOU GUYS have it right! I invested in a seat that links to my water line so we have one now too, but it's only COLD water!! 😳 much more sanitary I think less paper waste too. Likely better for the sewage processing too without tons of wood pulp added? I just find in a lot of European homes with bidets that they are a separate appliance and often very far from the toilet. I thought the point was to eliminate the need for paper like Dexter said?
The other difference is that toilet paper that is used to only dry the bum is relatively clean so it is not such a big issue when everyone is asked not to flush the paper in the toilet. There is always a waste paper basket next to the toilet to take the paper. The sewage system here cannot handle paper in the system I believe.
your right Carmen. I don't understand why he didn't let the other 2 guys know about the fake book case.. Surly 1 of the 3 guy's would of known to look?
It should be repaired by the Government and converted to a museum , library and auditorium, so people will come to see and money can be generated by way of tickets
Very very big manor but what a bad taste! Look the U.S bathroom. They were a little confused. Thank you for your exploration. You travel the world to make us see all the abandoned beautiful things
I’m very curious about the story behind it. Like who lived there? When was it build, completed, when and why was it abandoned? The house looks like it was decorated in the nineties. The house seems beyond repair.
888kingster I was thinking the 80’s because of some of the incredibly tacky mish mash of styles in what was possibly a much older building that had been remodeled. The neo classical elements are beautiful and I noticed one of the wall radiators was a much older style than the others. Garden is definitely the best thing about the whole place. Would love to see it prior to it’s 80’s modernisation. I suspect it would have been spectacular.
Wow great work guys, the atmospheric music and the location along with your filming/editing is amazing!! Keep up the great work. Just to imagine people lived there and walked those grounds at some point.
That mansion certainly had it's own character. We saw lots of bathrooms, but not many bedrooms! I hope someone buys it. It would be costly to repair, but the outside walls looked solid. Could be gutted and rebuilt from the inside. And of course, decorated in a better style! Thank you for another great explore!
A beautiful place to explore. They were quite eclectic in their choice of room decorations. In America, most people paint the whole interior of their house one color, like beige, and then differentiate them by how they decorate them. I love exploring and I especially like it when we know something about the people who lived there.
It’s not usually a big story...it’s common for places like this to get left, then become abandoned, because it will cost more for repairs, upkeep, etc., than it does to buy a new(er) house.
@Nicky L . Maybe a lot of what we see now was added during the second owners renovations. They remodeled the 80's bathrooms. Then over time the roof began to leak really bad. They moved out. Their family dynamics changed. Divorce, financial loss in the stocks, death, who knows. No one wanted to come. The owners could not pay the gardeners or house staff. Water leaking in a house is the worse. Especially if it is coming into bedrooms, etc. The pool was fabulous. The garden layout was awesome. The original owner had to have enough people living there to make use of a huge pool, tennis courts, pool table, bars, wine cellar. I guess the second family really could not make use of it all and with the cost of upkeep they lost it to bankruptcy. The bank probably owns it. Sad!!!!
I love all of your videos. I look forward to watching them when I get home from work. I absolutely love this one. But so sad to see it abandoned. You guys are so sweet.Be careful on your adventures. Love you, from Connie in USA.
The Russian/ Ukraine owner is having it demolished and has planning for an even fancier house. The new one will include underground parking for 10 cars, a reception entrance and massage suite. They have other properties. I don't think it's anything to do with them not being happy! They are just rich. Probably having a great time actually.
Underground parking is really big now in that area and Virginia Waters, my last job i work on had parking for 52 cars and 3 lifts for the front of the house to the bottom carpark also with a huge underground swimming pool and spa and workout room and sauna, they certainly are a openers and you're dead right about the Russians as they buy so much property around this area and central London but never move in investments.
Diana Gallagher not to be cheeky but if ur homeless a studio flat should be amazing for u. Middle class work their ass of for a 2 bed in the UK and we generally all have 1 bathroom
Guys the thing in the bathroom is called a bidet. It is NOT for your feet it is to rinse your bottom off. Water sprays up from it and hits your bottom. The books were a secret door. There was a space or something behind there. Fantastic video. Love how respectful you guys are. Thank you for sharing.🇺🇸❤
As always, great video. Wouldn't it be wonderful to grow up at a place like that..the tree house & lots of other places to explore, inside & outside. Just loved everything about this place, the staircases are beautiful. Even the basement is awesome. Hate to see how people vandalize beautiful places. Thanks for sharing & be careful in your travels.
It truly must’ve been wonderful growing up in the garden and treehouse as a child! Vandalism will always be a shame. It was our deepest pleasure Shirley! :-)
Hi guys. What a great video. Thanks. I’m impressed with this mansion. It must have been something in its day and all of those gold fixtures. I’m surprised nobody tried to steal those. I’m you were wearing a mask around all of that mold. Please be safe guys.
Truly an amazimg find. I love the stained glass on the ceiling, main staircase, gold/brass fixtures in the bathroom. Sad to see such decay. Great tour! ♡♡♡
I have seen a few houses of very wealthy people and they often seem to go for excess... colours, size of statues, etc etc. After the first million or two, what is there to spend your money on that you already don't have?
This place-the colored bathroom fixtures, the wallpaper, fake bookshelves, extreme-themed rooms (tacky American bathroom) etc. scream early 1970’s nouveau riche with tacky taste. Hope I haven’t offended some owner/builder. 😂
I stumbled across your videos accidentally and I am hooked!! I love the way you guys talk us through the video and keep us informed. Keep doing what you're doing. You guys are awesome! Love from Scotland ♥️😀
That is a Wonderland. This place is laid out beautifully. Can't keep a place up like that without money...Wow, the mold and decay. Very sad ending to such a beautiful place. The roof has been compromised somehow. The first kitchen you saw is called a Butlers Pantry. Excellent video guys.
When you find hidden storage as in the fake books, try to push inward on it. They occasionally use a spring latch so when you push in it releases the latch and the door will spring open. I have seen this house before by another explorer (Exploring with Josh) and one of the cabinets behind the fake books was open.
Thank you for the tip Frank. We’ll take it into consideration. Our friend, who went to this place few days after us, actually found out about a secret room where they were wanting to build another jacuzzi. This was in the upstairs library!
@@ashleespeisser6839 The post was by Explomo and the link is below. ua-cam.com/video/XOf_OfjYC5Y/v-deo.html&lc=z23qyr2rqqi1s3qt2acdp430qkk4yc1p3ztffaqrlu5w03c010c.1582432927505405
I believe this mansion could be saved. Ever watched HGTV? It will take a lot of money, but who else would buy it but someone with lots of it. Thank you. It was amazing. I hope it gets saved.
Hi, thank you for the explore. This house appears to have the type of Decor that Syrian or Arabic individuals would use. It’s not the taste of most of the Europeans. I know, it’s purely assumptions. There is too much gold too much bling bling style. I saw a few lamps with a Syrian style, garnished with coral, semi precious stones and turquoise, like the one over the glass console. OMG That cellar is my dream. Maybe Bashar’s secondary palace in the UK. With war starting in 2008 and with the world against him, he could not return. Again, these are my assumptions just for fun. For what the children space is concerned, since it’s next to the service area may have been for the guardians and their children. Wow. Bedankt!
I was pretty sure that the owner that house was an arabic indivdual..cuz as u can see the explorer was not even found any photograph..wll the arabic person was not really like to have photo graph at all..and most of them was loved to buy property but later on they will just easy to abandon them
@@miralyndonding6306 I thought the same that the family was muslim mostly because in every toilet there is a bidet too, but them on the door of kids room is writing the name of the child Chris which is actually typical Christian name, I am confused
There was also white mold ( in the hole knocked into the wall of one hallway ) which can be more dangerous to health than black mold. Stay away from both.
It would be so cool if they could try and find living family members and interviewed them about these houses. It’s such a shame they are just left and forgotten
Love Your Videos! your perspective on everything you show is always perfect, never leaves me wanting to see what wasn't shown as you do your best to show everything of interest!
The low lights were probably for a Billiard table. It’s sad that the owners just left a beautiful place behind. I just don’t know understand people?? Thank you for sharing!! Love you guys!
Definitely something behind the fake bookshelf. The worn spots could be the access way. A beautiful house. Lovely baths. Amazing how much wealth exist and existed. Well done guys
@@SandraRees accept reallity . without the rich nobody has a job when you havnt got a job what do you do ? live on benefits . what you are talking about is communism , and that is a great thing . where you cant leave your own village without permission , you have people spying on you and grassing you up to the elite , yes elite , even in communism you have your elite . look at russia now after perestroika ?, billionaires everywhere and the people are starving . look at china ?, more billionaires than anywhere else on the planet . even back in the stone age you had rich and poor . some humans want to get on in life and some want to sit back and moan . i am a wheelchair user , 3 slipped disks , 3 crushed vertibrae , spondolosis , and multi level lesions on my spine , i go to work 50 hours a week because i want to better my life . not sit around blabbering about what other people earn .
@@phil-zz5hk Your version of the real world is living a bubble pretending your free when in reality your just a slave tied to a slave system slaving for some rich bastard so he can live the lifestyle you can only dream about. Well if your happy with that, then good luck but please don't try to jusify it as reality when it's not.
phil driver this is such a classic British response. "Without the rich nobody has anything". 😂 How brain washed are you?! Without WORKING people, from the bottom of society - no one has anything. Without the working class, immigrants, suffragettes, protestors, activists - no one has anything!!! You think the rich were at the front lines? Or mining or picking cotton and Tabacco. No they just profit from the rest of society. Did you know, men returning from battles after WW1 weren't allowed to vote, if they didn't own a property etc. People have to fight the establishment and the wealthy for rights!!!!
Such a beautiful home. It's a shame that someone didn't open a bed and breakfast or hotel there. The grounds were beautiful in their time. Thanks for sharing and y'all are beautiful people for making great videos.
chris piercy I think myself when you reach that level of wealth there really is nothing that can make you happy.Listen to roxy musics in every dream home a heartache,it’s on youtube..
Such a great find by you guys. How many rooms does a family need to live in? Unbelievable!.As you already know by now about the bidets from previous comments but you are correct about the Italians liking their bidets. Keep up the good work.
I love these videos..i like to imagine the people that lived there. Parties and celebrations...births deaths..this one is really unique. Someone should make these beautiful places a tourist location like they do with the Southern Plantation homes in the US.
Wow amazing place an all that land. I was shocked to see how decayed some of the rooms were. Such a gorgeous place but maybe they moved to a better place. The fake books that Remon showed I wonder if there was a safe behind it. You guys do a great job of showing everything an taking your time. Loved those fountains outside. Remon the other toilets are not for cleaning your feet lol there for cleaning yourself lol . Take care an thanks again for another awesome place 🙂💖💖💖
We also truly didn’t expect the rooms to be in such an advanced state of decay! From the outside the property still looked relatively clean and in a proper state. We’ll take care and you are very welcome Susan! :-)
How can anybody be so rich that they would let such a beautiful place go to waste. If I didn't want to live there anymore I would sell it and give the money to some organization that will help the community. Great find guys❤
Must have been a multi billionaires mansion or elites that have no regard for $… When you guys were wandering around outside I kept wondering where the pool was and then first room inside huge pool… Better an indoor pool anyway… can’t believe the amount of toilets, place must’ve been so huge they needed that many so they would be able to make it to the toilet on time LOL…Take care guys until next explore💖💖🤗👏🏼
Yeah umm that’s a bidet not a foot washer, used to wash Ones genitals, also it’s not £3.5m but £350m locates in bishops avenue Hampstead north London, just the ground & it’s land is worth millions upon millions having palace’s next door along that road, just to think you thought 3.5m would purchase this property is a laugh in it self, a studio flat/apartment in West London is around £750k I guess the lads being from Netherlands do not understand prices & that is not there fault great video happy the authorities wasn’t around when filming started
I know this is an old one, I have seen it before, but I can watch this one over again and again. I laugh until I pee every time Remon calls the Bidets "Foot Washers". LOLOL!!! One of the things I love about you two is your innocence. Hugs to you both! Nana
Well I had quite a good LoL too :)
Same! And calling the taps and shaver sockets 'golden artifacts'. This is my fav video ever.
So sad when so many people are homeless and homes like this are just left to rot. Beautiful mansion,hope someone buys it before it’s to late. Great video guys Thankyou .
Exactly what I was thinking.
These properties would go to hell in a hand cart if homeless people lived in them. I would prefer that someone had bought the place and fixed it up
It's already too late.
Vandalism by thugs upsets me to no end. I can't imagine why such a lovely home would be vacant! Wish owners would let homeless families, or families who struggle to pay for shelter, live in these empty homes, before they start decaying. Why let them sit in ruin.

What a shame it’s abandoned! I know it was so beautiful! Thank you guys for showing it
Hi Maureno and Remon, Explomo, "Money can enable you to buy items, but not a life." - What a great beginning of this incredibly
interesting video of the millionaire's mansion! - This statement has reeally depth and is so true, when you consider the mere fact,
that you cannot take anything with you after you have passed away. - It was very interesting, walking together with you through
these romms of that immense villa. - The person, who had this mansion built, didn't really seem to have good taste in some way.
But however thank you for this amazing explore. You did again an excellent job with filming and commenting, and I enjoyed watching.
Wishing you all the best, safe explores, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
Would be good if the history or reason why the house is abandoned is researched. It would add more flavor to the video...
naisy rolfe absolutely
Yeah. Watching abandoned places without information is boring
They didnt even know what a bidet was so u cant expect much from these kids
*gordan ramsey has entered the chat* make sure you got seasoning with that flavor
Maybe they're keeping the info private
Gentlemen, the 'foot washing sink' is called bidet and it is for washing your undercarriage after you have used the toilet! Lol you are so funny!!!
Came to see the comments, hoping someone enlightened them. Others said just for the rich, but I grew up with one and we were far from rich
I thought that was so sweet! ☺️ I love the accent too! Thanks for mentioning it though, I wanted to tell them too👍😘
@@catcudYeah, It was quite common in Europe in the old days, when there were no wet tissues👍🌟❤️

The grounds are amazing. Such a beautiful mansion and its big for a big family. Why? Would anyone let it fall apart and not care. Unless they passed and there was nobody to look after it.

They have a big wine cellar so maybe just some rich Arabs 😝
Just rich muslims drink alcohol? I thought it was against your faith?
@@Shazbat55 it is, but not every (rich) Arab is Muslim or some Muslims just drink even though they know it's prohibited 🤷🏻♀️

Hello Connie
The Russian/ Ukraine owner is having it demolished and has planning for an even fancier house. The new one will include underground parking for 10 cars, a reception entrance and massage suite. They have other properties. I don't think it's anything to do with them not being happy! They are just rich. Probably having a great time actually.
Underground parking is really big now in that area and Virginia Waters, my last job i work on had parking for 52 cars and 3 lifts for the front of the house to the bottom carpark also with a huge underground swimming pool and spa and workout room and sauna, they certainly are a openers and you're dead right about the Russians as they buy so much property around this area and central London but never move in investments.
If that is so why was one bathroom wallpaper the American flag colors? Somebody probably lost this home in the last recession!
Loretta Harris What does that have to do with anything? The mansion is in the UK, so either way it’s just an out of place design.
Y do they left such a beautiful home.. Is there any haunting one?.
Where did u get this information?
It amazes me how small the kitchen's are in such enormous mansions and castles !!
I wish there was abandoned houses like this in my country nobody would be homeless. Not even mad people trust me. Appreciate the video much love 😊
Much love to you too Kimberly, glad you’ve enjoyed it! :-)
@@Explomo That was cool
I am currently homeless and I be so happy just to have 2 bedrooms a kitchen and working bathroom I haven't had a hot shower in awhile.
Diana Gallagher not to be cheeky but if ur homeless a studio flat should be amazing for u. Middle class work their ass of for a 2 bed in the UK and we generally all have 1 bathroom
@@dianagallagher3891 but
Guys the thing in the bathroom is called a bidet. It is NOT for your feet it is to rinse your bottom off. Water sprays up from it and hits your bottom. The books were a secret door. There was a space or something behind there. Fantastic video. Love how respectful you guys are. Thank you for sharing.🇺🇸❤
Hello Snyder
As always, great video. Wouldn't it be wonderful to grow up at a place like that..the tree house & lots of other places to explore, inside & outside. Just loved everything about this place, the staircases are beautiful. Even the basement is awesome. Hate to see how people vandalize beautiful places.
Thanks for sharing & be careful in your travels.
It truly must’ve been wonderful growing up in the garden and treehouse as a child! Vandalism will always be a shame. It was our deepest pleasure Shirley! :-)
Hi guys. What a great video. Thanks. I’m impressed with this mansion. It must have been something in its day and all of those gold fixtures. I’m surprised nobody tried to steal those. I’m you were wearing a mask around all of that mold. Please be safe guys.
Hello Nancy
Such an amazing place. Would love to know why the family left it.
Great video as always. Thank you for taking us on your explorations. 😊❤
El lugar es hermoso el paisaje bonito. La mansión es un sueño hermoso.
No entiendo porqué abandonan ese hermoso lugar nunca.🤔
Oh wow such a wonderful find guys! A lot of mold! Needs so much work because of the roof leaking. So sad to just leave abandoned.
The wall in the bathroom with the "foot bath" are all solid copper. You can tell by the oxidation
Truly an amazimg find. I love the stained glass on the ceiling, main staircase, gold/brass fixtures in the bathroom. Sad to see such decay. Great tour! ♡♡♡
Hello Savannah
Their taste for decorating leaves a lot to be desired!
For sure. Some of it was very tacky.
I have seen a few houses of very wealthy people and they often seem to go for excess... colours, size of statues, etc etc. After the first million or two, what is there to spend your money on that you already don't have?
Their taste is all in their mouth.
This place-the colored bathroom fixtures, the wallpaper, fake bookshelves, extreme-themed rooms (tacky American bathroom) etc. scream early 1970’s nouveau riche with tacky taste.
Hope I haven’t offended some owner/builder. 😂
Guys.... Explomo. ..... the greatest Idea. to make money. YOU GOT IT. 6 thumbs up!
There is a secret room in the library. It doesn't look like you found it. Beautiful find guys
Makes me so sad to see it falling apart. The stories it could tell
I’m surprised no one has stolen anything in the garage...wow..
I stumbled across your videos accidentally and I am hooked!! I love the way you guys talk us through the video and keep us informed. Keep doing what you're doing. You guys are awesome! Love from Scotland ♥️😀
I think this place was not English owned, a lot of the taste is middle Eastern
That could be the case Lunakin! Or maybe English people with a passion for the middle east ☺️
Nice work guy's, glad your visit to the UK was worthwhile.
The Middle East is a place not to go, and look just how much the billionaires care about their own houses. Shocking. The Government should intervene.
lunakin crow I think they’re from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Definitely not English owned.
That is a Wonderland. This place is laid out beautifully. Can't keep a place up like that without money...Wow, the mold and decay. Very sad ending to such a beautiful place. The roof has been compromised somehow. The first kitchen you saw is called a Butlers Pantry. Excellent video guys.
Thank you so very much Belle! Also the additional info is much appreciated :-)
When you find hidden storage as in the fake books, try to push inward on it. They occasionally use a spring latch so when you push in it releases the latch and the door will spring open. I have seen this house before by another explorer (Exploring with Josh) and one of the cabinets behind the fake books was open.
Thank you for the tip Frank. We’ll take it into consideration. Our friend, who went to this place few days after us, actually found out about a secret room where they were wanting to build another jacuzzi. This was in the upstairs library!
Yeah that’s what I was saying to myself ( push PUSH )
Do you have the link for the video from exploring with josh? I can’t find it and want to see the book shelf!!

I believe this mansion could be saved. Ever watched HGTV? It will take a lot of money, but who else would buy it but someone with lots of it. Thank you. It was amazing. I hope it gets saved.
Hi, thank you for the explore. This house appears to have the type of Decor that Syrian or Arabic individuals would use. It’s not the taste of most of the Europeans. I know, it’s purely assumptions. There is too much gold too much bling bling style. I saw a few lamps with a Syrian style, garnished with coral, semi precious stones and turquoise, like the one over the glass console. OMG That cellar is my dream. Maybe Bashar’s secondary palace in the UK. With war starting in 2008 and with the world against him, he could not return. Again, these are my assumptions just for fun. For what the children space is concerned, since it’s next to the service area may have been for the guardians and their children. Wow. Bedankt!
I was pretty sure that the owner that house was an arabic indivdual..cuz as u can see the explorer was not even found any photograph..wll the arabic person was not really like to have photo graph at all..and most of them was loved to buy property but later on they will just easy to abandon them
@@miralyndonding6306 I thought the same that the family was muslim mostly because in every toilet there is a bidet too, but them on the door of kids room is writing the name of the child Chris which is actually typical Christian name, I am confused
What a place, guys!! I've started to followed you from today, and the places that you guys visit, are awesome. Congrats!! Big hugs from Argentina!!
😍I really love the american flag bathroom!❤💙❤💙❤💙
And the light fixture of stars!
Wow so beautiful but so falling apart inside! The little kids room looked so sad n windowless...
Never seen this much black mold. :/ But i love the way you film slowly.
That’s amazing to hear Larissa! Happy you enjoy our perspective in which we document these places :D
There was also white mold ( in the hole knocked into the wall of one hallway ) which can be more dangerous to health than black mold. Stay away from both.
It would be so cool if they could try and find living family members and interviewed them about these houses.
It’s such a shame they are just left and forgotten
I love that pool area!
Love Your Videos! your perspective on everything you show is always perfect, never leaves me wanting to see what wasn't shown as you do your best to show everything of interest!
The low lights were probably for a Billiard table. It’s sad that the owners just left a beautiful place behind. I just don’t know understand people?? Thank you for sharing!! Love you guys!
Definitely something behind the fake bookshelf. The worn spots could be the access way. A beautiful house. Lovely baths. Amazing how much wealth exist and existed. Well done guys
How the other half live, while the less fortunate are homeless and starving!
without the rich , nobody has anything . read history , every great society has rich and poor .
@@phil-zz5hk "every great society has rich and poor", and that's a great society? Sounds like a very greedy and unfair society to me!
@@SandraRees accept reallity . without the rich nobody has a job when you havnt got a job what do you do ? live on benefits . what you are talking about is communism , and that is a great thing . where you cant leave your own village without permission , you have people spying on you and grassing you up to the elite , yes elite , even in communism you have your elite . look at russia now after perestroika ?, billionaires everywhere and the people are starving . look at china ?, more billionaires than anywhere else on the planet . even back in the stone age you had rich and poor . some humans want to get on in life and some want to sit back and moan . i am a wheelchair user , 3 slipped disks , 3 crushed vertibrae , spondolosis , and multi level lesions on my spine , i go to work 50 hours a week because i want to better my life . not sit around blabbering about what other people earn .
@@phil-zz5hk Your version of the real world is living a bubble pretending your free when in reality your just a slave tied to a slave system slaving for some rich bastard so he can live the lifestyle you can only dream about. Well if your happy with that, then good luck but please don't try to jusify it as reality when it's not.
phil driver this is such a classic British response. "Without the rich nobody has anything". 😂
How brain washed are you?! Without WORKING people, from the bottom of society - no one has anything.
Without the working class, immigrants, suffragettes, protestors, activists - no one has anything!!!
You think the rich were at the front lines? Or mining or picking cotton and Tabacco. No they just profit from the rest of society.
Did you know, men returning from battles after WW1 weren't allowed to vote, if they didn't own a property etc.
People have to fight the establishment and the wealthy for rights!!!!
Such a beautiful home. It's a shame that someone didn't open a bed and breakfast or hotel there. The grounds were beautiful in their time. Thanks for sharing and y'all are beautiful people for making great videos.
probably it isn't zoned for commercial use or the HOA would not allow a multi-family property.
Maureno the arches you mention are actually called Pillars and Columns. You both are so adorable 💙
Just wanted to say hi and hello to you Ernest Gallo!
Ate Ngin2 who are you? Do I know you!?
Thank you for the great video....looking forward to next video...😀
Great find but the house seems so empty like no one who lived their was ever happy. So sad, money doesnt buy happiness just material things.
chris piercy I think myself when you reach that level of wealth there really is nothing that can make you happy.Listen to roxy musics in every dream home a heartache,it’s on youtube..
Amazing home. You have to wonder if there was a construction error causing irreparable roof damage ... letting water in. Just a thought.
The tree house alone can be my house lmao
Such a great find by you guys. How many rooms does a family need to live in? Unbelievable!.As you already know by now about the bidets from previous comments but you are correct about the Italians liking their bidets. Keep up the good work.
WOW YOU DID IT AGAIN A GREAT EXPLORATION VERY LUXURIOUS HOME THANKS FOR THE VIEWING KENTUCKY USA YOUR HILLBILLY COUSIN
You are very welcome James! :-)
Wow what a beautiful house such a shame it’s left to decay which it will do over time if no one buys it’s good job guys
outside wow wow inside wow wow wow the thing you thought for washing you feet was for washing you bottom and private parts not your feet
Thank you very much Dill! :-)
I washed my feet when i had one, as well as the other 😉
@@elainebines6803 lol well I supposed if it dies the job why not lol
I was going to tell him that 😁
Bidet is very common in Asia😂
Thanks for taking your time on the gardens and pool, well done.
Hi! I love watching your videos 🥰 hopefully SOON I will watch your adventure here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️
Keep dreaming.
That’s lovely to hear Angie! Maybe one day we’ll explore your beautiful country :-)
Even in the state of decay it's still amazing! Great video love you guys!
Where the books are is a hidden door
Yes there are hidden shelves. Saw them in this video @12.15

I've seen this place before just not in the detail you have shown us, nice work welcome to the uk
Definitivamente....El lujo es vulgaridad. Buen trabajo!!!!
I love these videos..i like to imagine the people that lived there. Parties and celebrations...births deaths..this one is really unique. Someone should make these beautiful places a tourist location like they do with the Southern Plantation homes in the US.
Wow amazing place an all that land. I was shocked to see how decayed some of the rooms were. Such a gorgeous place but maybe they moved to a better place. The fake books that Remon showed I wonder if there was a safe behind it. You guys do a great job of showing everything an taking your time. Loved those fountains outside. Remon the other toilets are not for cleaning your feet lol there for cleaning yourself lol . Take care an thanks again for another awesome place 🙂💖💖💖
We also truly didn’t expect the rooms to be in such an advanced state of decay! From the outside the property still looked relatively clean and in a proper state. We’ll take care and you are very welcome Susan! :-)
@@Explomo yea the outside looked nice. Do you all wait for a certain period of time before you explore places ?
Hello Susan
@@anthonybrian7865 Hello
How can anybody be so rich that they would let such a beautiful place go to waste. If I didn't want to live there anymore I would sell it and give the money to some organization that will help the community. Great find guys❤
Tree house and deck Epic!!
Yep i was thinking a pool table under those lights.Love that swimming pool!ooh that stained glass dome is exquisite!
Must have been a multi billionaires mansion or elites that have no regard for $… When you guys were wandering around outside I kept wondering where the pool was and then first room inside huge pool… Better an indoor pool anyway… can’t believe the amount of toilets, place must’ve been so huge they needed that many so they would be able to make it to the toilet on time LOL…Take care guys until next explore💖💖🤗👏🏼
You are definitely right about that Michelle! We’ll take care and see you at the next one again! Thank you :D
Wow I could get lost in this place.so beautiful thank you . Be safe much love and Peace out from USA
Looks Middle Eastern in interior design, maybe the people who owned it were from the middle east ..
Wish we were able to learn more about the past owners. Thank you for watching Jennie! :-)
Great video guys. What a beautiful place and so sad to be abandoned like this.
We agree it is sad and such a shame the property is detoriating over the years. Thank you so much! ☺️
Yeah umm that’s a bidet not a foot washer, used to wash Ones genitals, also it’s not £3.5m but £350m locates in bishops avenue Hampstead north London, just the ground & it’s land is worth millions upon millions having palace’s next door along that road, just to think you thought 3.5m would purchase this property is a laugh in it self, a studio flat/apartment in West London is around £750k I guess the lads being from Netherlands do not understand prices & that is not there fault great video happy the authorities wasn’t around when filming started
Golders Green here mate. I know exactly what you're talking about as I've just bought my own house here :)
It’s not even located in North London. The millionaire’s row is a completely different place from this one?
Their, you mean. Not "there"
@@catcud hello Karen
This place is insane, so beautiful and yet so sad to be left to rot. I would love to make this place my home. Thank you for sharing your work
Im getting some SINISTER vibes. Like something really dark and sick happened in this house.
Malka
A few windows had bars on them. Odd.
Yes I agree, the house had no soul.
