Very true Alicia! Such a shame to see it decaying. This place was filled with unique items that are irreplaceable. Crazy that this happens so often 🤯 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Including the house. I may be mistaken, but, this house may have been built in the late 15th-16th century? We have nothing like this in the States except for Plantations in the south.
If the owner has passed away I hope his items can be put in a museum for posterity and not sold off for profit by people don’t care about him or his life. Good video guys!🇨🇦
We hope so too Susan! Such a shame to see it decay, so much deserves preserving. Hate the way these houses get condemned 😖 Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching 🥰
Donating anything to a Museum only enriches the Government, since they would own and most likely sell those paintings. Museums don't care about the original owners of anything.
Or sell them to those who will actually make use of them or appreciate them. Awful shame to leave it all there to rat. That’s the height of disrespect.
Only in other countries can you see homes from way back when that havent been touched by vandals. I wish I could be there to see all this history in person. Thank you for taking us along 😊❤️
Glad you enjoyed it Linda ☺🙏 It is rare to find the untouched ones! Sadly most have been looted or vandalised here too, its crazy 😣 Makes these ones even more special though! Thank you for watching! 😊
This was an amazing little cottage, so much in it and you could see that the owner did have some order to what he was collecting. I loved it when you released the butterflies, my partner and i think maybe they came in through the damaged thatch. Another fabulous find 🥰🤗
Thank you for saving the butterflies!!! Great job! I love how respectful you are! If I leave behind an abandoned home full of interesting stuff I hope Sam and Jesse get to explore it.
The machine you found, right before the radio was a telegraph machine used for sending morse code messages. This was so interesting and mind-blowing at the same time. Wow, this was one heck of a find. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing place! I especially love the old books with the elaborate covers. That concept seems to have died away between the wars in England, but survived a little longer on the continent. Our forebears knew how to make things beautiful as well as functional. We ought to revive that. I do hope this beautiful home is somehow preserved and not allowed to decay or succumb to vandalism. Thank you for a great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video 😀 Yes we couldn’t agree more, should be practised far more often 😁 We really hope so too, the contents deserves preserving. Thank you for watching!
What an amazing home. Considering how many things they owned, it was extremely organized. Seems like it must have been a very elderly gent, eventually on his own for a long time. Great vid.
I'm 79 and remember a lot of what you showed us. Unless you found another document from HM The Queen, that gentleman was not knighted. My father had a similar letter. He was a Police taxi-driver, A night fire-watchman, worked at a grain Silo, kept chickens and dug six allotments to help feed the community, but the letter was just a letter of appreciation that many people received. The Mega 'radio' in the little bedroom was not a radio but an electrical measuring device. If you find Bibles in your adventures, look inside the front and back covers because they often showed family details which you could then research by looking at Census records. One of the sheds you found in the garden might have been a 'Dungy' an outside toilet where the occupant would have emptied the caravan Portaloo toilet you found in the cottage. Thanks for making the video it brought back many memories and was very interesting.
You really should carry supplies with you on explores. First aid/trauma kit, enough food and water for 24 hours in case you get trapped. But, I'm an old man, what do I know.
WOW YOU GUYS, WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY QUAINT COTTAGE FULL OF HIDDEN TREASURES IN EVERY CORNER, AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO WATCH, AND A STUNNING PROPERTY FULL OF HISTORY, INSIDE AND OUT. THANK YOU SAM AND JESS FOR SHARING THIS, LIKE I SAID IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO WATCH, KEEP UP THE GRAT VIDEOS YOUR BOTH DOING FANTASTIC GUYS, PEACE OUT DANIELLE ✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Many families don't care to live in their ancestral homes so tyey use them for storage. I can't imagine being so well off that I would just casually leave a home to rot. My children don't understand it either. We have one cedar chest with waterfall walnut panels full of 4 generations of our family's belongings and we treasure it.
Imperial Lexicon is literally about the English Language. Probably about as deep as you can get into it. The man was probably a genius and one of the unsung heroes of his day.
Butterfly rescue! Loving the English homes series! Especially as an Aussie,we have an undeniable connection with everything UK. To gain insights into historical homes is truly fascinating !! Love the butterfly rescue too - you two have big hearts. Always amazing vids guys !!
Nice vid. When I studied at Oxford, I took an architectural archeology class where we studied the history of estate homes. This manor is beautiful. Not sure if the owner had died and had no family to pass it onto or nobody wanted it. There are so many artifacts there from the books, furniture, paintings, clocks, etc. that should be in a local historical society, library or museum before it is destroyed my vandals or water damage. The home itself looks amazing as well, from the thatched roof to timber used. Once the roof begins to leak, water damage begins as it looks like it already has in one part. The back buildings and trailer is interesting as nature takes it back. Great job on the filming, music and editing. Especially the show parts to view more deeply with background music. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
The piece of equipment you saw near the start of the video look's like a small woodworking lathe. Love your explores it's so nice to see old abandoned places that are not vandalised and smashed up.
Another beautiful house! So many interesting treasures that are being lost to time! The butterflies were amazing! They represent ascension transformation new beginnings creativity and pulsing joy!
What a fascinating find and amazing long video, really appreciated! It would be so interesting to meet the owner wouldn’t it, bet he has/had some stories to tell xx
Hey guys, love this video, a few things i saw which were amazing was the morse code operator button on the mantle piece, the old headsets hanging up for war-time radio, the field style radio under the table..... The list goes on! That house should be handed to the local museum or historical society before the wallys get in n pinch it all. 👍
Wow! Thank you Phil, that really is amazing. Your right, I hope there’s a future for some of these irreplaceable items 🤞🏼Think someone has actually been informed about the place from what I’ve seen on facebook, so fingers crossed. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
The radio you originally thought was a safe is a wartime VHF set as fitted to wartime aircraft. The 'radio' below on the shelf is a a hifi pre amplifier made by Messers HJ Leak & Co in the mid to late 1950's. The model called a Point One Plus. Shame the power amp wasn't there as it's all exposed valves and chokes.
Oh My I could spend hours in there just with the books. Admiring the antiques & pictures. You can feel the history about this beautiful home 👍 Another great episode. Happy Safe Travel!!! Love from: Across the pond 😃 ❤✌
I watch a lot of explores I love abandoned places I rarely comment but I have to say you two are the nicest explorers genuine empathy and respect for these once loved homes is just so nice to watch, saving those butterflies was just wonderful to watch thank you both for your kindness. 🦋
What a beautiful explore. An absolute treasure trove of trinkets and collectables. I particularly LOVE old books! Thank you for all your hard work. Being a long way away in Brisbane Australia, I appreciate you taking me on these fabulous journeys. 🌞❤
OMG this house should be turned into a museum.I love those books,no doubt he was a well educated man.The paintings,the old desk (my grandad used to have a similar one),the records,kitchen appliances...everything it's a time capsule even the cottage.
I just watched this video the other day. It was so enjoyable. That house is a treasure. The house reminded me of someone who lived through the war or here in the states, the depression. My granny lived through the depression here in the US and had a tendency to save everything and reuse and find a use for absolutely everything. When someone lives through or grows up during a time of rationing food and items, they can sometimes have a hard time of letting go of things…everything has a use. It was lovely seeing that house. Thanks for saving the butterflies. ❤️ Keep doing what you do. 😊
Hi Sam and Jess what a amazing place,so meny truly interesting stuff left,can't believe so much is just left,sadly as time goes by it will start decaying away like the books,hope some one from the family returns to save this beautiful house and some priceless things,great find and thanks for sharing another interesting video thanks
Hello Martin, glad you enjoyed the video! Its true, very sad to see such amazing items gradually decaying! Such a fantastic collection should be taken care of somewhere. Thank you for watching 😊🙏
I am new to watching y'all. Thank you for being so respectful of the belongings left behind in your spectacular finds. This house is a book lovers haven. When you got to the master bedroom and found the butterflies... What an amazing thing to have come across. You set his spirit free.
Not sure if I misunderstood what you were saying, but there are actually thousands upon thousands of these sorts of cottages in the English countryside (except in good condition). I am in the process of restoring a half-timbered one myself of a similar age (early 1400s), in a small Suffolk village. Depending on what area of England you are in will alter whether the building will be thatched or not, built of stone or timber, decorated with colour, brick or pargeting... for example I grew up on the edge of the Cotswolds region in Gloucestershire (Western England), and all the villages over there are built with warm honey-coloured stone and topped with limestone slated roofs, now that I’m in Suffolk (Eastern England) the villages are completely different and have an abundance of brightly coloured half-timbered buildings with thatched roofs. It really just depends on the area.
Thank you Tamara! They are such beautiful buildings, shame to see them run down like this. Best of luck with your restoration! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Beautiful things and messages from the queen piano beautiful pictures these antiques need to be in the museum or antique shop to share history so much stuff absolutely amazing loved the investigation ❤
A fantastic explore! I loved that you rescued those Peacock Butterflies! They are so beautiful! After seeing others explores, I only watch yours! You two are the best! So compassionate and interesting! From Susan in Michigan USA ♥️
This place is lovely. I can’t believe this place is abandoned? All I can say is why?? I’m not only amazed but wonder how you find these places. I’m so amazed by it all. Love this place❣️. Thanks guys. I would have to go back saio… just to read the books 🤗. Do you know who lived there?? It looks like someone will walk in @ any moment. You 2 should be wearing masks with all that dust & mold in there. That’s a foot warmer for your bed. Did you say this was in England.. it’s a very French style house. I want to clean this place 🤗
Yes it is in the English countryside and the architecture of the building is very common for medieval cottages in rural England (stone/ half-timbered [brick would have been a later edition] and a thatched roof), you do not find thatched buildings in France whereas there are thousands in England (especially in the South-West, East and Central regions).
Hey Cindy! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ Its usually hard to find out exactly why they get left abandoned… we take a guess that with most of them, the owner passes and leaves the house to no one. No one can touch them or any of the contents! It blows our minds every time. We are definitely going to get some masks and gloves! Thank you for your concern! Thanks for watching 🥰❤️
GrapeNuts is a very crunchy cereal.We really like it.Such a lot of stuff in such a small place.The gentleman must have died suddenly to have left all the food Sad,I do hope he had someone that cared about him.Take care of each other 👍❤️❤️🇺🇸
How an earth do you manage to find these houses.i am so glad they haven't been vandalised or robbed .your videos are a real step back in time and I like the fact that you take your time .
What an amazing and awesome find. He had things stuffed in every nook and cranny and on every wall. Thank you for bringing us along on this amazing explore. God Bless You Both and Remember to Always Ride With The Lord.💞💜💙
That house is an absolute gem, the device on the work bench is a small lathe for machining and creating metal objects and components it allows you to cut metal to precise measurements. Wow what a treasure trove this place is I really hope it doesn’t get looted or vandalised or both there’s to many mindless idiots in this country who can only destroy what they could never build, cheers guys great video as always. 👍
Exactly, Sebastian Sanchez-Cabello... That's why I have mixed feelings about channels like these. People will watch this, steal the antiques or anything interesting & turn it into cash.
Glad you enjoyed it Sebastian! It really was a special one, filled with intriguing things. We hope so too, it depends on how far the location gets leaked sadly, as soon as it ends up in the wrong hands its bad news 😤 It really is a shame. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@twistoffate4791 we understand where your coming from. We never share locations of the places we visit for this reason exactly, so no one would be able to locate them because of our video. Sadly not all of us who visit them keep the locations a secret and this leads to so many places being destroyed, its happened to a number we have been to before, its terrible to see.
@Samandjessexplore it’s always great to watch your videos, one of the things I love about you guys is the care and appreciation you have for the properties you visit and antiques within, If you guys are interested in antiques and you ever come to visit Plymouth you might want to check out my dads shop it’s called Parade antiques it’s on the Barbican in Plymouth there is a lot of cool interesting stuff in there and you won’t be disappointed cheers.👍
Absolutely loved this place. Haven't seen Gainsburrough's "Blue Boy" painting (even a copy), since I was a child! I would move into here in a heartbeat, just to clean and care for all these wonderful treasures and books!
Wow, really loved this one... In a way it's so sad to see that once the occupant left, he outlived any relatives who may have came to at least clear out the food and sentimental items... And you can see that the house and belongings were well cared for and tidily kept considering how much is packed in. Maybe the darkness of the house has helped to preserve the paintings, photos and books. Seems he may have outlived his wife by many years... He doesn't appear to have been wealthy to me, just a person who took care of what he had and enjoyed upcycling, collecting and reusing older items. Thanks for saving the butterflies, I would have done the same. A true time capsule. And that garden... An explore in itself.
That first photo you said he was a fireman, I think you will find he was an air raid warden during the war. If you ever watched Dad’s Army on tv you will know what I mean.
Clock turners lathe in the first part. it amazes me how many valuable things are going to rot. So much culture so much history. I know people bash hoarders but they will value things more than you could ever know and it won’t be because of money. It would look like Faberge egg on the piano, medieval chest. This was a man of taste. I really wonder what happened to these people? We don’t have a housing crisis we have an information processing crisis. So much heritage will be lost. If everyone pulled together homeless would end just by filling these vacant property. I know there would be a number of hurdles especially if the owner is in care. I wonder if a caretaker branch of the housing office would take up the mantle. I know there are plenty of ruins that can be brought back to life. Awesome find. It should remind us how unaware we are to how others have lived. And the plights of many old buildings. Definitely a radio operator home.
This man was a very organized Gentleman. I really couldn’t see a woman living with him,, he seemed to be happy with his books and radios. I loved this house, it is like a living testament.
This people's big life and great everythings memory,,fantastic this sweet house ❣😍👌🏛🏟🛋🚪📚📚📰📖🗞💼🖼and wondeful life. Oh my good this everything its lovely. Big thanks for the. BYEE
The stones on the mantelpiece are called “ Shepherds crowns” they are fossilised “ sea anemones “ my Grandad found a couple up on the “ SouthDowns “ where he farmed
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. You could spend a month here and not see everything. This house was amazing. You two are amazing! Much love
Those are Peacock Butterflies. They’re quite common throughout England. However, they are very pretty. Great video, so much to see. The history in that home...Wow. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy! Thank you for that, they really were a treat to see, so beautiful. This house really impressed us, so many unique things inside. Thank you for watching ❤️🙏🏼
I know that the items inside the house are amazing, but I couldn’t stop marveling at the condition of this historic home😱. It’s in near perfect condition, for its century’s old existence . The house itself, should be declared a historical Landmark 😍. I’ve heard that people were shorter back in those days🤔. That’s why the ceilings are so low. May I ask, how tall are you?
From Kentucky and I love watching you both! I grew up eating Grape Nuts. They were considered health food at the time. 60s-70s. Like very plain granola.
It’s a lathe. What an amazing place. This Find is B e a u t i f u l !! You are very respectful and mindful that this was home for the old guy. His personal life is in every corner and stone of the property. Just wonderful!
quality location, detailed explore too., lesser explorer's would've waltzed through the place in 10 minutes, and probably done some silly paranormal shizzle. Well done 👍
Hi Sam & Jess, I lived in Portsmouth UK and there used to be a smiths crisp factory behind our School in Paulsgrove. we used to hang around by the delivery doors at lunch time and they would give us the packages of quality control failures , you always new what flavours they were working on by the smell coming from the chimney stack. up close though the smell was all grease smell like old fat. My family still lives not far from where the smith crisps factory was they went out of business and the factory was bulldozed now there are some nice little houses there now, I moved abroad to Canada just after i got married to the love of my life we lived in Nova Scotia for 19 years and we now live in Canada's Capital region of Kanata Ontario. Lovely place to live by the way. I love watching these video of urban explorers like yourselves. Its nice to hear the old mother tongue my accent was really proper Portsmouth but now to the Brits i sound Canadian and to the Canadians can listen to me talk for hours because i sound so English. the accent has softened over the years but if i am around my family i end up talking how i used to speak when i lived there. i am in my mid 50's now and i have spent more time in Canada than i did in my home land. there are some things i miss but the life i have in Canada has been a good one. keep researching and showing these amazing time capsules before they are completely gone forever. it is good to have an archive of videos so if you ever go back years later you can see if anything has been touched. great narration too. Love you guys stay safe.
The more videos I watch of yours the more I like them! You really take your time going thru everything! All the things others just skip over…..thank you for taking the time to SEE These peoples houses. Just stunning!
The guy was probably a ham radio operator.I bet he could talk to people all over the world,and the Seth Thomas clock is worth a lot of money and even more with Hands .such a good video thank you .👍❤️❤️🇺🇸
These places seem too newly abandoned. What's going on. I'm truly surprised by the preservation of these places. I truly hope no one comes and destroys these treasures.
They stay preserved as long as nobody hands the exact location out, otherwise they can sit there for years like this, untouched. It’s mind blowing just how many there are just within the UK. We really hope this place stays safe too… Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
I love the heat you both have for the appreciation of these time capsules, nature, animals, and each other. Keep spreading the joy you bring, it's beautiful!
Wow! What an interesting person that would have lived here, an amateur Radio operator? Or maybe a Radio operator in the RAF during the war? The large painting of a Lancaster Bomber, along with the short wave radios and books on short wave radio give clues as to a possible past, the style of clothes along with the calendar on the lounge indicate it was a man of ageing years, maybe the right age to have served in WWII? Yes I used to eat Smiths salt and shake.
My Dad had that same photo of the Lancaster on his wall where He also had his Radio sets...Kept his Amateur License updated until he was 90...& yes. a Radio Tech during WWII...😊
you should check this house for secret passages, or rooms. this reminds me of a single mans , spy home. for some reason . think about it. oh well just a thought.
Because of the age of the books, paintings, furniture fabric etc it's mostly old. Moths could be eating some of the paper and material. Where i live we get some gold coloured Moth's. That come in when it's dark. They are a nightmare for eating cotton. Especially light t-shirt material. As the person who live there would of used mothballs and other things to stop them from attacking his belongings. It's a real treat to see this place. I could spend hours there just wondering around in looking at all the items and collectables. But I wouldn't take anything from the house. Leave it for the next person to enjoy. Sadly you get the wrong ones who nick stuff. I'm glad that you only tell people you trust Sam & Jess. I am really enjoying the video
This brakes my heart to see all of this wonderful stuff not being taken care of. Most of this stuff should be in a Museum. So sad😭😭
That was my first thought too!
Very true Alicia! Such a shame to see it decaying. This place was filled with unique items that are irreplaceable.
Crazy that this happens so often 🤯
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Including the house. I may be mistaken, but, this house may have been built in the late 15th-16th century? We have nothing like this in the States except for Plantations in the south.
Awww rescuing the butterflies! Best thing ever you beauts!
If the owner has passed away I hope his items can be put in a museum for posterity and not sold off for profit by people don’t care about him or his life. Good video guys!🇨🇦
or preserve the entire house and all belongings as museum spot .
We hope so too Susan! Such a shame to see it decay, so much deserves preserving. Hate the way these houses get condemned 😖
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching 🥰
Donating anything to a Museum only enriches the Government, since they would own and most likely sell those paintings.

Glad you enjoyed it Linda ☺🙏 It is rare to find the untouched ones! Sadly most have been looted or vandalised here too, its crazy 😣 Makes these ones even more special though!
Thank you for watching! 😊
So true,here in the us people destroy abandoned places
Unfortunately in the US u would never find a house so amazing and filled with so many beautiful antiques!! What a great find!!
This was an amazing little cottage, so much in it and you could see that the owner did have some order to what he was collecting. I loved it when you released the butterflies, my partner and i think maybe they came in through the damaged thatch. Another fabulous find 🥰🤗
Glad you enjoyed it Trudie 🥰 Ah yes that’s a good idea, was such a treat to see them!
Thank you for watching ☺️❤️
Christ!
Thank you for saving the butterflies!!! Great job! I love how respectful you are! If I leave behind an abandoned home full of interesting stuff I hope Sam and Jesse get to explore it.
This is a house I would love to live in The days of reading through those books.
Us too Rebecca 🥰 Would be an lifetime supply ❤️
Thank you for watching!

Pretty sure it was just a lath tbh
Looked like a lathe to me too

Have you bought a hard back book recently? They have beautiful fly leafs on them and some books have embossed
patterns on them
@@khum3175 Yes but not seen many like that.
You guys are so thoughtful and caring. Releasing the butterflies was beautiful x
Grow up. They had survived and bread. They look for sheltered places to shelter over winter
A well read gentleman and throw back to when we had a room that was our Library! The art 🖼 all over the house is fabulous
What an amazing home. Considering how many things they owned, it was extremely organized. Seems like it must have been a very elderly gent, eventually on his own for a long time. Great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it Chrysanthe 🥰 Thank you for watching! ❤️

You really should carry supplies with you on explores. First aid/trauma kit, enough food and water for 24 hours in case you get trapped. But, I'm an old man, what do I know.
Your right, it would be very wise to do so! We will get this together, long overdue!
Thank you for watching 😃
I would always bring masks with you because of the mold. Like even a painters mask.
I love your videos I just came across you channel and I love it!
@@GoodVibez4Life Yup, a quality mold and lead paint mask like the ones by 3M

Many families don't care to live in their ancestral homes so tyey use them for storage. I can't imagine being so well off that I would just casually leave a home to rot. My children don't understand it either. We have one cedar chest with waterfall walnut panels full of 4 generations of our family's belongings and we treasure it.
It amazes me that there are places like this.
It’s a fascinating circumstance isn’t it 😦 It blows our mind every time another one crops up, so many just hidden out there.

It's actually a watch makers lathe, hence all the clocks.

There is so much history that should be saved. Those books are priceless. Everything is so beautiful in this house.

Are you as thick as they were? There so many people who make these videos, but most have had a basic education
Looks like a turning lathe on the bench. Could be used for making clock parts. I have one similar to this.

@@Samandjessexplore you are welcome to stay with us when you get here. Lots of gorgeous wild places near us we'd love to show you. ☀️
Butterflies around windows is a sign of ❤️
Beautiful and amazing that place is priceless you could spend a year looking at it! The Sam n Jess show smash it again, nice work urba's.
Glad you enjoyed it Adoid! Your right, this place was jam packed with interesting things.
Thank you for watching! 😃
OMG this house should be turned into a museum.I love those books,no doubt he was a well educated man.The paintings,the old desk (my grandad used to have a similar one),the records,kitchen appliances...everything it's a time capsule even the cottage.
Well done both of you, many memories of things long forgotten.
Glad you enjoyed it John! Thank you for watching ☺🙏

I just watched this video the other day. It was so enjoyable. That house is a treasure. The house reminded me of someone who lived through the war or here in the states, the depression. My granny lived through the depression here in the US and had a tendency to save everything and reuse and find a use for absolutely everything. When someone lives through or grows up during a time of rationing food and items, they can sometimes have a hard time of letting go of things…everything has a use. It was lovely seeing that house. Thanks for saving the butterflies. ❤️ Keep doing what you do. 😊
Hi Sam and Jess what a amazing place,so meny truly interesting stuff left,can't believe so much is just left,sadly as time goes by it will start decaying away like the books,hope some one from the family returns to save this beautiful house and some priceless things,great find and thanks for sharing another interesting video thanks
Hello Martin, glad you enjoyed the video! Its true, very sad to see such amazing items gradually decaying! Such a fantastic collection should be taken care of somewhere.
Thank you for watching 😊🙏
I am new to watching y'all. Thank you for being so respectful of the belongings left behind in your spectacular finds. This house is a book lovers haven. When you got to the master bedroom and found the butterflies... What an amazing thing to have come across. You set his spirit free.
Not sure if I misunderstood what you were saying, but there are actually thousands upon thousands of these sorts of cottages in the English countryside (except in good condition). I am in the process of restoring a half-timbered one myself of a similar age (early 1400s), in a small Suffolk village. Depending on what area of England you are in will alter whether the building will be thatched or not, built of stone or timber, decorated with colour, brick or pargeting... for example I grew up on the edge of the Cotswolds region in Gloucestershire (Western England), and all the villages over there are built with warm honey-coloured stone and topped with limestone slated roofs, now that I’m in Suffolk (Eastern England) the villages are completely different and have an abundance of brightly coloured half-timbered buildings with thatched roofs. It really just depends on the area.
Thank you Tamara!
They are such beautiful buildings, shame to see them run down like this.
Best of luck with your restoration!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
He said there were 'hardly any left', then said there were loads (to gander/assess ¿?)
Beautiful things and messages from the queen piano beautiful pictures these antiques need to be in the museum or antique shop to share history so much stuff absolutely amazing loved the investigation ❤
Looks like it is a lathe for turning metal.
It's for key cutting.
Thank you! Fascinating!
Jeweler's Lathes.
@@Samandjessexplore I am thinking you called it Mona Lisa house because of the painting ?
@@tommas2674 hey Tom yes thats right 😀
Bravo again. You are the tour master.
Turn a ho hum explore into an adventure. And keep saving the papion! It's a sign. Thanks 🐟
wow pretty 🦋🦋🦋🦋 nice rescue Sam and Jess 💖
Glad you enjoyed it Annette 🥰🙏
A fantastic explore! I loved that you rescued those Peacock Butterflies! They are so beautiful! After seeing others explores, I only watch yours! You two are the best! So compassionate and interesting! From Susan in Michigan USA ♥️
This place is lovely. I can’t believe this place is abandoned? All I can say is why?? I’m not only amazed but wonder how you find these places. I’m so amazed by it all. Love this place❣️. Thanks guys. I would have to go back saio… just to read the books 🤗. Do you know who lived there?? It looks like someone will walk in @ any moment. You 2 should be wearing masks with all that dust & mold in there. That’s a foot warmer for your bed. Did you say this was in England.. it’s a very French style house. I want to clean this place 🤗
Yes it is in the English countryside and the architecture of the building is very common for medieval cottages in rural England (stone/ half-timbered [brick would have been a later edition] and a thatched roof), you do not find thatched buildings in France whereas there are thousands in England (especially in the South-West, East and Central regions).
Hey Cindy! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ Its usually hard to find out exactly why they get left abandoned… we take a guess that with most of them, the owner passes and leaves the house to no one.
No one can touch them or any of the contents!
It blows our minds every time.
We are definitely going to get some masks and gloves! Thank you for your concern!
Thanks for watching 🥰❤️
Saw other explorers in this house and they left the butterflies. Thanks for saving them. Lovely house xx
Glad you enjoyed it Gaynor! ❤️ We are glad we could let them out.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼🥰
GrapeNuts is a very crunchy cereal.We really like it.Such a lot of stuff in such a small place.The gentleman must have died suddenly to have left all the food Sad,I do hope he had someone that cared about him.Take care of each other 👍❤️❤️🇺🇸
We hope so too Gayle. They had such a beautiful family home!
Thank you for watching 🥰
Amazing place and video! Thanks for sharing.
How an earth do you manage to find these houses.i am so glad they haven't been vandalised or robbed .your videos are a real step back in time and I like the fact that you take your time .
It has been ran sacked since!
@@spotsterjon74cuprobably as its been shown all.over utube
No, they don't gives the location. @@hazeltreeretreat9035
What an amazing and awesome find. He had things stuffed in every nook and cranny and on every wall. Thank you for bringing us along on this amazing explore. God Bless You Both and Remember to Always Ride With The Lord.💞💜💙
That house is an absolute gem, the device on the work bench is a small lathe for machining and creating metal objects and components it allows you to cut metal to precise measurements. Wow what a treasure trove this place is I really hope it doesn’t get looted or vandalised or both there’s to many mindless idiots in this country who can only destroy what they could never build, cheers guys great video as always. 👍
Exactly, Sebastian Sanchez-Cabello... That's why I have mixed feelings about channels like these. People will watch this, steal the antiques or anything interesting & turn it into cash.
Glad you enjoyed it Sebastian! It really was a special one, filled with intriguing things.
We hope so too, it depends on how far the location gets leaked sadly, as soon as it ends up in the wrong hands its bad news 😤 It really is a shame.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@twistoffate4791 we understand where your coming from. We never share locations of the places we visit for this reason exactly, so no one would be able to locate them because of our video. Sadly not all of us who visit them keep the locations a secret and this leads to so many places being destroyed, its happened to a number we have been to before, its terrible to see.
@@Samandjessexplore I'm relieved to hear you do not reveal your locations.
@Samandjessexplore it’s always great to watch your videos, one of the things I love about you guys is the care and appreciation you have for the properties you visit and antiques within, If you guys are interested in antiques and you ever come to visit Plymouth you might want to check out my dads shop it’s called Parade antiques it’s on the Barbican in Plymouth there is a lot of cool interesting stuff in there and you won’t be disappointed cheers.👍
Absolutely loved this place. Haven't seen Gainsburrough's "Blue Boy" painting (even a copy), since I was a child! I would move into here in a heartbeat, just to clean and care for all these wonderful treasures and books!
Some of those radios look like cb/ ham radio. Really awesome place.
Wow, really loved this one... In a way it's so sad to see that once the occupant left, he outlived any relatives who may have came to at least clear out the food and sentimental items... And you can see that the house and belongings were well cared for and tidily kept considering how much is packed in. Maybe the darkness of the house has helped to preserve the paintings, photos and books. Seems he may have outlived his wife by many years... He doesn't appear to have been wealthy to me, just a person who took care of what he had and enjoyed upcycling, collecting and reusing older items. Thanks for saving the butterflies, I would have done the same. A true time capsule. And that garden... An explore in itself.
That first photo you said he was a fireman, I think you will find he was an air raid warden during the war. If you ever watched Dad’s Army on tv you will know what I mean.
Thank you for that ☺️🙏🏼
Clock turners lathe in the first part. it amazes me how many valuable things are going to rot. So much culture so much history. I know people bash hoarders but they will value things more than you could ever know and it won’t be because of money. It would look like Faberge egg on the piano, medieval chest. This was a man of taste. I really wonder what happened to these people? We don’t have a housing crisis we have an information processing crisis. So much heritage will be lost. If everyone pulled together homeless would end just by filling these vacant property. I know there would be a number of hurdles especially if the owner is in care. I wonder if a caretaker branch of the housing office would take up the mantle. I know there are plenty of ruins that can be brought back to life. Awesome find. It should remind us how unaware we are to how others have lived. And the plights of many old buildings. Definitely a radio operator home.
Jason👋
That house is amazing good one
This man was a very organized Gentleman. I really couldn’t see a woman living with him,, he seemed to be happy with his books and radios. I loved this house, it is like a living testament.
Interesting explore guy's thanks for giving the 🦋their freedom 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Carolyn 🥰🙏
Loved every thing showed great you guys!!!
Absolutely amazing video guys loving every second as always.
Thank you very much Jordan! Glad you enjoy the videos 🥰🙏 That means a lot!
This people's big life and great everythings memory,,fantastic this sweet house ❣😍👌🏛🏟🛋🚪📚📚📰📖🗞💼🖼and wondeful life. Oh my good this everything its lovely. Big thanks for the. BYEE
The stones on the mantelpiece are called “ Shepherds crowns” they are fossilised “ sea anemones “ my Grandad found a couple up on the “ SouthDowns “ where he farmed
Fascinating things they are! Thank you for your comment ☺️🙏🏼
Bob 🥺
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. You could spend a month here and not see everything. This house was amazing. You two are amazing! Much love
So true 😂 Glad you enjoyed it Sharon!
Thank you for watching 🥰
Those are Peacock Butterflies. They’re quite common throughout England. However, they are very pretty. Great video, so much to see. The history in that home...Wow. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy! Thank you for that, they really were a treat to see, so beautiful.
This house really impressed us, so many unique things inside.
Thank you for watching ❤️🙏🏼
Jeremy👋
Love your videos! What a marvellous collection. Thanks for sharing!
I know that the items inside the house are amazing, but I couldn’t stop marveling at the condition of this historic home😱. It’s in near perfect condition, for its century’s old existence . The house itself, should be declared a historical Landmark 😍. I’ve heard that people were shorter back in those days🤔. That’s why the ceilings are so low. May I ask, how tall are you?
From Kentucky and I love watching you both! I grew up eating Grape Nuts. They were considered health food at the time. 60s-70s. Like very plain granola.
THERE SHOULD BE MORE THUMBS UP😎
It’s a lathe. What an amazing place. This Find is B e a u t i f u l !! You are very respectful and mindful that this was home for the old guy. His personal life is in every corner and stone of the property. Just wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed it! This place was mind blowing.
Thank you for watching 🥰
Cool place, thanks for showing.
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! 😃👊
Dave💕
❤ I love the way your both so respectful and calm. Thank you. From beautiful Ballarat ❤
quality location, detailed explore too., lesser explorer's would've waltzed through the place in 10 minutes, and probably done some silly paranormal shizzle. Well done 👍
Agreed. What's all that about.? Seems a bit childish TBH.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate that. Thank you for watching 😃

Hi Sam & Jess, I lived in Portsmouth UK and there used to be a smiths crisp factory behind our School in Paulsgrove. we used to hang around by the delivery doors at lunch time and they would give us the packages of quality control failures , you always new what flavours they were working on by the smell coming from the chimney stack. up close though the smell was all grease smell like old fat. My family still lives not far from where the smith crisps factory was they went out of business and the factory was bulldozed now there are some nice little houses there now, I moved abroad to Canada just after i got married to the love of my life we lived in Nova Scotia for 19 years and we now live in Canada's Capital region of Kanata Ontario. Lovely place to live by the way. I love watching these video of urban explorers like yourselves. Its nice to hear the old mother tongue my accent was really proper Portsmouth but now to the Brits i sound Canadian and to the Canadians can listen to me talk for hours because i sound so English. the accent has softened over the years but if i am around my family i end up talking how i used to speak when i lived there. i am in my mid 50's now and i have spent more time in Canada than i did in my home land. there are some things i miss but the life i have in Canada has been a good one. keep researching and showing these amazing time capsules before they are completely gone forever. it is good to have an archive of videos so if you ever go back years later you can see if anything has been touched. great narration too. Love you guys stay safe.
Wow!!! That was crazy bro! Loved it 👊🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥
The more videos I watch of yours the more I like them! You really take your time going thru everything! All the things others just skip over…..thank you for taking the time to SEE These peoples houses. Just stunning!
The guy was probably a ham radio operator.I bet he could talk to people all over the world,and the Seth Thomas clock is worth a lot of money and even more with Hands .such a good video thank you .👍❤️❤️🇺🇸
He was a SPY! 😀 There’s usually a large aerial somewhere, I wonder where that was?
@@DaveHoskinsCG ...hidden under the thatched roof!!!...it probably fell down yrs ago!!!...
That is fascinating!!! Thank you for your comment and for watching 🥰❤️🙏🏼
This is a great find,we got to see all these old collectible stuffs,just amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it Catherine 🥰 Thank you for watching! ❤️
These places seem too newly abandoned. What's going on. I'm truly surprised by the preservation of these places. I truly hope no one comes and destroys these treasures.
They stay preserved as long as nobody hands the exact location out, otherwise they can sit there for years like this, untouched.
It’s mind blowing just how many there are just within the UK.
We really hope this place stays safe too…
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
I love the heat you both have for the appreciation of these time capsules, nature, animals, and each other. Keep spreading the joy you bring, it's beautiful!
You can still buy Smith's Salt &Shake crisps. Yes, l remember the bands inside golf ball but no way set fire to them
I'm so in love with you both. Saving the butterflies made my heart smile.
The painting of the boy in blue is a famous painting. It's called the boy in blue.
It's actually called Blue Boy. I own a replica set along with Pinkie.
Thank you Alicia! ❤️
@@kimberlyplayer thank you Kimberly 🙏🏼❤️
Yes I seen it in a museum hear in Bentonville Arkansas, Art Museum in Crystal Bridges! Beautiful! I agree it should be founded as a museum!
This was great thank you. One of the best.
Blown away! This was one of the most stunning places ive ever seen. My favourite so far this place was beautiful loved it x
Wow! What an interesting person that would have lived here, an amateur Radio operator? Or maybe a Radio operator in the RAF during the war? The large painting of a Lancaster Bomber, along with the short wave radios and books on short wave radio give clues as to a possible past, the style of clothes along with the calendar on the lounge indicate it was a man of ageing years, maybe the right age to have served in WWII?
Yes I used to eat Smiths salt and shake.
I came to see if anyone else knew what the radios were. Good explaining. Cheers.
My Dad had that same photo of the Lancaster on his wall where He also had his Radio sets...Kept his Amateur License updated until he was 90...& yes. a Radio Tech during WWII...😊
Very interesting Peter, very likely!
Just amazing to see his collection.
Thank you for your comment 🙏😊
So much to see, and a secret garden too!
Todd
@@Babararoot55 Yes, Victoria?
@@toddmetzger where you from ? How old are you?😎💕
Butterflies are about spiritual awakening, I can't believe how many were there! It is a sign for you both. A perfect thing to see in a magical place.
🥰🙏🏼❤️
That paintin' was called, BLUEBOY. My parents had the same print of that paintin'...
you should check this house for secret passages, or rooms. this reminds me of a single mans , spy home. for some reason . think about it. oh well just a thought.
What a lovely place well done
Smiths crisps taken over by Walkers, still buy them now, even remember the little blue bag of salt they used to use in old days 😉
Craving some now 🤣
Thomas💕
Because of the age of the books, paintings, furniture fabric etc it's mostly old. Moths could be eating some of the paper and material. Where i live we get some gold coloured Moth's. That come in when it's dark. They are a nightmare for eating cotton. Especially light t-shirt material. As the person who live there would of used mothballs and other things to stop them from attacking his belongings. It's a real treat to see this place. I could spend hours there just wondering around in looking at all the items and collectables. But I wouldn't take anything from the house. Leave it for the next person to enjoy. Sadly you get the wrong ones who nick stuff. I'm glad that you only tell people you trust Sam & Jess. I am really enjoying the video
Tive uma impressão que as pessoas que vivem aí nessa casa foram muito felizes, as borboletas deram boa vindas , Salvador Bahia 🇧🇷🙋🌹🌹🌹
Should all be put in a museum 🎉
i think the Hoover thing was a washing machine. Could be wrong though.
Nearly.. It's a spin dryer for getting clothes ready for the line after hand washing.
Cheers Fo 🙏🏼
