Deep in the English countryside sits this abandoned enchanting 15th century thatched mansion, it looks like a scene from Godricks Hollow in Harry Potter!
Over 300 years of history are held within the walls of this beautiful timbered home.
It's charming interior remains very original thanks to its grade II listing.
A number of the previous inhabitants belongings remain, exquisite hand carved ebony furniture is spread throughout the whole house, some rooms appearing as if someone left just yesterday, the mould and decay tell otherwise.

I can’t believe how such a beautiful place can be just left abandoned with all that expensive furniture and antiques just left behind?
1
It might be going up for estate sale soon, I'm saying retrospectively of course.
I don't think it is abandoned, it looks too clean with no dust, so these two are trespassing on this beautiful house. wish they wouldn't do that. Urbex like to call places abandoned.
National Trust need to get thier act together and save this remarkable building
True that!!
*their
Furnishings seem genuine but the building is a folly. Its about as Tudor as I am. A modern construct using old salvaged materials.
@@philipmcdonagh1094 What makes you say that?
@@philipmcdonagh1094 I do not think so, looks genuine to me with many repairs over the centuries. The iron bar at odd angle, pinning walls together to keep them standing!
Unbelievable carvings on the dining room furniture and tables. I hate to see beautiful hand carved woodwork go to waste like that.
You need a lot more lighting. Hiding the magnificent details.
That doesn’t look abandoned. Barely any dust. Are you sure you didn’t just walk into someone’s home?
Did you see the bowl of fresh fruit as they walked in!! 🤷🏻♀️ I think it was their Airbnb 🤣
@@jetlagsenior8491 🤦♀️
I agree. There’s a full decanter? And incense sticks behind it in the window? Wine bottles downstairs? No dust anywhere? This is someone’s bnb or get away home. I kept expecting the owner to show up. Made me uncomfortable.
With the mildew on furniture and dust, I reckon has been empty some winters. The fruit is plastic (strange to have in a nice house).
@@jetlagsenior8491 It was fake, plastic, fruits.
Although I do enjoy exploration videos immensely, my heart is torn in two when seeing
how such an adorable magical place can be left neglected and abandoned.
Thank you both for the wonderful content.
We agree Wayne! Crazy to see some of these places going to waste, wish we had the power or money to step in and save them.
Hopefully there's some hope for this one especially, someone has informed the local heritage officer and it's been sealed.
Very important keeping the locations within a trusted circle!
Glad you enjoy the videos, thank you for your support ☺🙏
@@Samandjessexplore this locations has been sealed to be preserved? I heard it was for sale ?
Wayne Dalton: The house is neither neglected or abandoned. It is inspected for vandalism and break-ins. The electricity is still on for a reason.
the place is too clean to be abandoned, did you notice there was no dust on the furniture? Means someone is coming in to clean it. The floors also looked very clean. It does not have the usual appearance of an abandoned house.
It’s just too dark. Imagine living in that darkness all the time. Black furniture, dark wood, just too dark. But it’s beautiful just the same!
I would love to live in this house! I love it. It's so sad to see those antiques going to ruin. You need to be wearing masks with all that mold. You can get very sick from inhaling that stuff. Please be careful.
Mate, was there a motion sensor in the house because on 8:00 a red light went off as you guys approached the area.
Yes indeed, and i the end also.
I half expected the 7 dwarfs to pop out 😆❤
🤣🤣
@@Samandjessexplore saw a securer cam red light in the lounge, on ceiling x x
I love this house.Positively Enchanting,I hope someone buys it soon.The carved furniture is magnificent.The house itself is just Enchanting.👍❤️🇺🇸
How did you get in? locked up?, so much history going to waist, such a shame . I hope it stays well,damp weather may corrode it for its age,I hope others do not ruin this place, or break in and vandalise everything . Please keep location secret , Thankyou for bringing me along with you both ,along in this beautiful place ,a rare occasion to see this.
Oh my you guys! I think this is the most beautiful house I've ever seen. Everything is really special. Just heartbreaking that it's full of mold and is deteriorating. The wood carved furniture is glorious! I absolutely love the floors but most of all I love the doors. Thank you so much for this video! I'll be talking about it all day at work tomorrow! You are both fabulous!
I love how you can see how happy these places make you guys! Another amazing find! Really does make you wonder why these places are left with all this amazing furniture.
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰 Feel very lucky to be able to see these special places.
It is unbelievable isn't it, how it can be left to go to waste like this.
We have read that its being taken care of by a local heritage officer now and its since been sealed, so hopefully there's a future for this one 🙏
I think the collection of items which you thought is from mud lurking expeditions is probably items that were found on the property which is why they were left behind .... the former owners want the items to stay with the house and land.
Me, 7:57, having spotted the alarm pir sensor light up red - powere's on!
Sam, 11:51, tries a light switch - powers on!
Me - I said that!
6:40 ‘This place is probably worth over a million…’ And the rest! That’s the price of just four terraced houses in some cities!
7:25 I’m not keen on those flint corners, they would trash your slippers if you snagged them!
7:56 Were you caught on a PIR detector? Let’s hope it wasn’t an alarm.
10:30 Jess sniffs out a trapdoor. She has a nose for basements!
11:00 Did you say ‘That’s the bell’? Those things are the pendulum and the weights that drive the clock. The fact that the clock isn’t standing square is bothering me a little - I’d want you to put it straight - but I don’t think there’s much straight in the whole place!
The power’s on? One day you’ll be exploring and you’ll find the owner asleep in bed!
14:30 That looks like brandy
14:45 That cabinet of geological finds is amazing! I want an trilobite fossil! You can keep the mummified rat! :D
17:00 Sarlat… nice place
19:43 Everyone loves a Belfast sink!
Lifts the lid of the large pot… what’s in there? Huh, nothing, thankfully!
20:52 Sam succcessfully unlocks the door. You’re lucky that Jess loosened it!
Those stained glass dividers are awesome!
22:35 Mind the step, Jess!
23:00 Those kids are probably old, now, like, our age! Ha ha!
24:20 Basement - what is that on the far wall? Wine rack? Looks like those earthenware wine rack blocks that you can still buy in French Supermarkets
26:20 Does that iron bar emerge on the outside wall with a big old X to hold the wall together?
32:20 Those bathrooom tiles are cool!
33:00 Definitely a fox knocker. Check the bushy tail!
38:30 They weren’t short of fire extinguishers, were they? Can’t have too many in a thatched place with open fires!
That was a great old place! I enjoyed coming along with you on this one!
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in all of the abandoned places so far...thank you so much! You and bros of decay are my fave ❤️
To live in a home like this is a dream to me and lots of others. It’s a real shame and hard to understand why it seems to mean so little to who ever owns it. They could rent it out and let someone live there dream rather than do nothing with it surely. It’s very sad ☹️ great video again tho giving us a look inside an amazing property 👍
Sad empty feel to it , in need of family life again 😢
Remarkable Tudor period mansion. One of the best I've seen.
It looks like the furniture was built in because it matches the staircase , it is so beautiful and the floors are exquisite
Hi Sam and Jess what a amazing building,this has to be one of the best abandoned buildings l have seen,some of the furniture must be wouth lots,looks like it was made for the mansion.
Can't believe someone not taking care of the property sadly decaying away,great find and thanks for sharing your video's always look forward to watching them.
Tried to look through your comments, could not find, about the small basement you found I think might have been a wine cellar because of all the circle compartments on both walls. I loved this old house!! Hope some of that beautiful furniture can be saved.
I absolutely love this!! Thank you so much for sharing. I never would’ve gotten to see otherwise. I always wonder what it would be like to go back in time. What beautiful architecture. Your videos fuel the imagination and I appreciate that! 😉
Love from New Orleans!
Dear god! I hope 'kids' dont find this place! What a find!
Hey guys, I’ve just watched this and my heart is still beating fast from seeing that cabinet. I just love things like that. It’s utterly mind blowing. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I love how you observe things; you are both so respectful and sensitive of your discoveries. x
Exquisite furniture. Truly a magical place. It's pretty clean and dust free. I love your explores!
Well so far, this house has managed to remain intact. exploring with mark was here some time ago and the house looks about the same as when he was there.
ua-cam.com/video/LI15xQ9oeS0/v-deo.html
of course, it appears somebody is watching this house, taking care of this house and dusting Etc. so I would say this house is not completely abandoned.
I hope that is correct- that building itself is a structural gem
It’s almost like something out of ‘Ever After’ or some fairytale story. I love history like this! 17th century & older…. It brings me almost to tears to see this place just left to the elements. Can you imagine the things that this house has been through history wise anyways. Just mindblowingly beautiful!
15th Century half-timber house would be more than 300 years of history. It would be 500 years old by 1900, and 600 years by 2000's.
Its convenient that you never showed how you broke into the property! If there was an entry why not document this?
How much are you going to donate to the owners for using their electricity for the day and using their house.
It is not abandoned. If it was, the power would have been cut off a long time ago. There is still standing charges being paid for the power connection. The intruder alarm is also powered up. It's a shame it never alerted.
You have no idea how much damage is done by entering private dwellings without permission.
If you can afford to travel the country breaking into homes, you can afford a national trust membership where your membership is invested in the maintenance of properties instead of your time being invested in wrecking properties and lives.
Clearly, someone owns this!
You are also infringing human rights by regularly intruding on the personal lives of individuals.
Do not say you are doing this for the nation. You are actually ruining historic buildings and lands.
Your lack of historic knowledge is also apparent in your embarrassing comments.
You have no right being there. Let's hope nobody does this to your home when you are not in a position to consent to intrusion of this sort.
You are not explorers, you know what you are.
Wow, this place is so beautiful. So much carved furniture and stained glass windows. If it wasn't for the mold anyone could move in tomorrow. It is such a pity to see a beautiful old place like that sitting to rot. I feel if a place has been listed and no one can afford to live in it, the local government should be made to conserve these old buildings and their contents. Thanks for another awesome video. Sending love to you both from Australia.
Errrr there was a bowl of fresh fruit in the table as you started your video?? I’m pretty sure if it was abandoned that fruit would have been long gone!! 🤷🏻♀️
Sucks. This makes a 3rd filming crew to tape this home. And the second to call it a harry porter house. Someone needs to look for something that gives you a name or address and contact the family and tell the family. Tell them to check this house before it gets destroyed. I can't believe the 3rd team inside this home and all on youtube. Please contact anyone you find a name and address. I worry it will be ruined by vandals
My dream homXXXe. Thatched roof & beautiful beams. Exquisite Jacobean black furniture. I agree i would move in anyday. What a treasure abandoned & left to slowly decay. Always a highlight of my week seeing what wonders you've found. Love as always XXX
I wonder why the upstairs is so low. It was like midgets no disrespect yeah. Very interesting
The fireplaces are absolutely incredible pieces of art in themselves. In the bathroom with the tiles matching yes. Two bathrooms how extravagant! If only those walls could talk
I see the mold, but where's the dust? Those drinking glasses and alcohol looked spotless. Something is off here. Sure it's not a seasonal hunting lodge?
MAN! SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAVE THIS PROPERTY. This is one of those places that leaves a person speechless. AMAZING FIND YOU GUYS!!!!
I hope that someone with the funds saw this video and did just that. It’s a crime to allow these beautiful historic homes to decay!
This place is featured on an episode of Restoration Home from around 2012.
Okay I'm 2 minutes in and can tell the house is being taken care of, heat on ect... Perhaps they talk ?
Love this stuff!. But do you have permission to enter, or are you breaking in?.
With the stoneware hot water bottle, it was usual to wrap a cloth around them so you did not burn yourself. The old lady who lived next door to me when I was a child had one and still used it.
Looks like the Secret Garden. The home is absolutely beautiful and everything left behind. It just amazes me that some people have so much money, they just don’t care about these places! You would think they would at least let a family live there to care for the place.
And, you two are just so cute! Please keep the great videos coming! And, please wear some protective masks because of all the mold in those places. You need to protect your health.
Nope ! Good riddance to bad rubbish . They are dumb.
@@BlackStump172 whom are your referring to? The family of the house or Sam and Jess? I agree with you if it's the latter.
@@rml9121 Sam and Jess .
Thank you for showing this magnificent home. It’s like stepping back in time.
Oh you two..what next.. such a beautiful historical home which so needs saving before lunatics trash it.
If only walls could talk. Such a lot of history.
The rods in the upstairs go through to outside walls and are holding the house together !
Someone needs to save it quick smart..my heart is breaking, but warmed by such young people loving this heritage so much.
Love you two as always.
Jan x (the old lady )
This beautiful home does not look abandoned. It has no dust or cobwebs.
I've read some of the other comments and this wonderful historical property does not look like it is abandoned. Maybe if the owner/s have not made a will or if they have it has to be read and the family have to apply for GRANT OF PROBATE then because of COVID there is a long delay and it could take months or even a couple of years to get this before you can sell it.
It would be sacrilige if this property would not be restored to how it was back in the day. If it is grade 1 or 2 then it will be saved
You would have to be a person with plenty of cash lying around - at least £2 million i would think
So beautiful and peaceful would love that place, imagine Xmas there and a summers evening outside with an ice-cold cider cuddled up watching the sun go down.
Beautiful house and great video guys. I think that might be 16th century though...homes in the 15th century were built more for defence, by the 16th century life was safer and rich people could build grander house...windows and furniture were more available in the 16th century too....that doesn't look built with defence in mind, I could be wrong though. Loved the video though 👌
Didn't I see a motion dectector light in the corner? Of the dining g room...
U can see someone's dusting and keeping it clean as much as possible
Did a quick bit of googling on the maker's signature on that gorgeous clock - "Tho. Lister, Halifax" - It seems there were father and son clockmakers, Thomas Lister senior (1717-1779) and junior (1745-1814), who worked together in Halifax. Bonhams has an auction listing for a 30-hour longcase clock, dated about 1775, almost exactly like this one. This one looks to be in much better condition than the one in the auction!
Wow, That's a proper Sam and Jess homestead ! Wine cellar in the floor. Amazing place. I was geeking about the curio cabinet also :)
Nathan Drake and Lara Croft ... but in this HP style place i think Sirius Black and Bellatrix :D
Just feeling the comment " looks and smells like Weasley's house " :D :D
I would think that at least some, if not all, of that collection was found on the house's property. Obviously, the old wallpaper wasn't found in the Thames. Super cool that place still had a thatched roof. Great video!
That architecture is beautiful. It needs protecting at all costs. That cabinet of finds is just outstanding...the history behind finding it and the items own history. Wow, such a privilege. I can't find Dark Arts video on this?
Anyone interested and want to find out more about in mud larking in London should check out Nicola White’s Tidelands Art and Simon Bourne’s Si Finds superb you tube channels
The portrait looks like a First World War military officer ,
Please post more often. Love the channel. Bought a t-shirt and will buy another to support you guys. Keep up the great explores. 👍🏻😊
Thank you so much Roberta! Your support really means a lot.
It's just amazing to have people out repping the merch! 😁😁🥰
Working on getting some more videos out too! ☺
Glad you enjoy the videos ❤😊
This place is exquisite. I can so see you and Jess living there. Thank you for the grand tour.
Too many Spiders and Cobwebs I don't think they'd get any sleep. I'd be alright 🕷️🕸️ I can hear the crackling of the fire 🔥 in cold winter months (Beautiful) 🏚️
Dream home 🥰🥰 Glad you enjoyed it Brenda! Hopefully someone will step in and take care of this beautiful place.
@@greywebs1944 very true ☺🤣🤣 It would be so cosy in the winter!
@@Samandjessexplore Pipe and Slippers 🤣 Stay safe both I look forward to your next adventure 👍
Looks like someone is still living there! 14:11 there's a motion sensor!
what a fantastic place this one has got to be the best I've seen in ages, you have a lovely sensitive way of filming very respectful, its something a lot of others have lost and should take notice of, i just really do hope no one bad finds this beautiful historic home and trashes it
Totally agree this has to be kept very quiet it's beautiful. 🤞 Nobody should ever vandalise it's disgusting. But I do think that Sam or Jess on the quiet should contact Heritage Foundation ? Not sure who they can contact ? But it should never be kept unoccupied. It should be listed somewhere. But they can't tell us that, and I don't want them to either 🤞 They themselves should look it up 🏚️
Glad you enjoyed it Sarah! Thank you very much 😊🙏
This location has been kept very discreet thankfully and we have been following a facebook feed on it, someone has got in touch with the local heritage trust and it's been sealed too, definitely for the best with this one!
@@greywebs1944 luckily the location has been kept very quiet, we have been watching a feed on facebook, someone has contacted a local heritage officer and it's been sealed too!
Definitely for the best, needs to be taken care of full time!
@@Samandjessexplore Most definitely just superb. A great find absolutely stunning all round. Hope you come across some more 🙂 Well done 👍
That place looks maintained
if its the house I am thinking of, it is/was owned by an iconic guitarist from one very iconic band still making music today and they left (quickly) after a ghostly haunting experience...
Oooh do tell us who this guitarist is please?
Wow !!!! its not very often I can say im left speachless....what a truely amazing house. The shepards stick is called a "crook" the would usualy have a more bendy hook on the top, used for pulling sheep or more often lambs from hedgerows or other places they might get stuck. I think I should go live there because of the ravens/crows in the glass porch. The two glass panels in the conservetory were arts and craft. Probably original. Thank you, loved this one 💜🕉
Someone is watching over this home
I can't imagine there's plenty of places like this in England now. It's immaculate !! Such a lovely proper english period property ! Nice find guys...Nice to see Karl too 👍🏻
You guys are constantly stepping it up a notch. I just know that you’re going to go international in body and popularity. Rock Guys You!
They should wear gloves 🧤 to avoid leaving their DNA @ Fingerprints everywhere
@@jellybeanparis584 They are on video , so no need for fingerprints .
Sam and Jess. That was so incredible. Such a shame that it is left to go to rack and ruin. Thank you for taking us on the tour. Loved the furniture and the stained glass. Look forward to next one.
Wow..what a treat, thanks sooo much for that video the place is amazing definitely a video I didn't want to end...good job guys 😀👍❤
Sam & Jess~
It’s astonishing how much is just left behind the beauty of this place enchanting, and mesmerizing from the front door to every unique piece of furniture.
Just stunning and beautiful 🤍 if those walls could talk , can you imagine the stories that could be shared !!!
Absolutely stunning building and the furniture is gorgeous to look at. Very much similar to Warwick Castle's furniture. There could well be a signature etched in the graving of the wood. So a magnifying glass would be an option if you both ever come across something like this again. Worth having a detailed look and Google search who made these wonderful well made craftsmanship. Totally awesome I'm glad I'm British 🏚️ Stay safe 🌈👍
For all its beauty, I could not live there, it’s very dark
Hi Sam and Jess! Have you and Karl done a ghost hunt in this house?And if so is it on Dark Arts tv yet?
WOW what an amazing house . I would sell mine now to move in that place and leave all my belongings behind and keep that house just the same as it is . Just amazing, beautiful 😻. Great explore guys just hope nobody else finds it and ruins any of it . Just gobsmacked it’s just left . Stay safe guys xx
How long been vacent
Wow, wow and once again wow. What an absolutely fantastic building and those pieces of furniture left me speechless. I really love tumor buildings like this so would have been jumping up and down with excitement at seeing the outside of this let alone the inside. How heart breaking it is to see this building being left to rot when it should be saved. The crows, owls, green men etc made me think that the last owners were maybe very much into some kind of paganism and don't think that they were original to the building but what a beautiful building. Great video guys x
Awesome find! I would love this place. Love all the wood. So cool! 💜
Probably another poor hs2 casualty
Beautiful place though
It’s like a fairy tail ,beautiful,makes you wonder why people just leave ,why .you have a realy deep calming voice realy good for narrating,great find lv Ann x
I'd live there
Someone has to own those things a family member, what sad waste if not
WOW, just an amazing home. Stunning furniture, and just all around beautiful! Oh I do hope someone comes in and saves it.
Really is such a special one!
We have read that someone has informed a local heritage officer and its been sealed up, sincerely hope there's a future for this one and someone will step in and take care of it regularly 🤞
The stuff in the cabinet are finds from in and around the property, seen this before in old houses, Ive been all round the country in stately homes and doing what you two lovely people are doing 25years ago but we didn't have mobile phones with cameras and we didn't have the internet and the lovely black country furniture, from the black Forest Germany and the antique Chesterfield leather chairs,the picture on the wall is of a soilder from the Great war " the first World war" I would be in heaven in there x
Governments shouldn't allow this kind of property to rot. Give them away for 1 quid, fanc, peso, etc. to anyone that has the resources to take them on and restore them with accuracy.
Heartbreaking. 😢
Surely someone can save the georgeous wood furniture. We live with throw away crap made in China or screw together IKIA while this real exquisite furniture rots abandoned. 😢😢 😠 😡
18th Century Florentine. Ebonized wood.. Definitely Royal blood Line. I bet that basement has a trapped door.. $$$$€÷¢
your attention to detail of the history is amazing. keep up the great work sam and jess your both brill at what you do
A true gem of a place. Just looks ready to be lived in and loved.. 🗿😎👍
I assume that picture was from WW1..
The furniture in this place is my favorite so far.
This one is THE BEST of All Your Explores, Sam&Jess!!!...The Furniture...Amazing Dark Wood & the "Mudlarking" Cabinet!...Don't know what a "Grade 2" building is but if I had a few Million Pounds, this would be mine!!!...Restoring this Home would be a Joy!...TY ever so much & if Karl finds Spirits here, that would be an added bonus!!!...Take Very Good Care...🌹😊
Stunning?like something out of Shakespeare's Hamlet?Think you might find that the crook on the wall,was intended for the high window with bar?And not,"little bo peep".Ha ha.Amazing,Sam,Jess&Matt.
I would just like to say, "you two are such a lovely couple". You are caring and compassionate when exploring. This was a incredible find!! The carved woodwork and layout throughout this house was so beautiful ! It really saddens me to see so much left behind and why? Here in NY we pay land and school taxes yearly and if you get in arrears they foreclose on the property , force you to move out and sell your property at auction. I wonder why so many places there are just left to rotten. Another wonderful video... thank you...this was amazing.
Am just catching up with this explore now. It's a beautiful place. Love all the Green Man motifs carved into the dark furniture.
Dream fairy tale house, but I suspect maybe condemned or can't afford repair for serious subsidence problems, v deep-rooted. Think that's maybe why there were metal bars pinning through the walls in some rooms? Tragic to loose it 😢
Está increíble y bella casa no está habitada permanente, pero no abandonada. Luce limpia y no vandalizada
It's strange. It's like they knew they were leaving for good, because every bit of there clothing was missing. Not even a shoe. And maybe not even photographs. Very strange. I feel they my not be alive. Strange.
I’m rewatching this video. In love with this home and the magick within as well as outside. Is this home still for sale?? Thank you for bringing a world of adventure to us who can’t see this personally!! Blessings
Rog here Sam and Jess. (grandad) loved every inch of this place and your commentary. Those old clay pipes are the best I've ever seen outside a museum and those minerals WOW. Agree with Peter Davies I think the picture at the top of the stairs is Great War or even Boer war/South Africa. Standards getting higher every time, well done my Sam and my Jess. Love
Wow another stunner you 2. How can people leave all that stuff. That rocking horse is well expensive.x
A whole clay pipe bowl with original long stem... A mudlarkers dream find.
Oh this is the one I watched & as I did was thinking "wonder how active this home is" the episode when you two introduced me to Darkartstv & they both are Tops!!! This home is Beautiful & Magical. Dream home me 😃 ❤✌
