I watched this early this morning. My dad passed away yesterday. He was 94. He was a fireman or boiler attendant on the steam trains in Australia back in the 50’s and 60’s. He never lost interest in steam locomotives. I had to start sorting some things today Most of the railway stuff will go to the big rail museum where he lived at Ipswich Queensland. It was really great to see all the railway stuff in this home. I hope it is never vandalised. Thanks guys.
So sorry to hear you have lost your dad…please accept my condolences and may he rest in peace😔🙏 🕊️
Thank you Melanie💕
My condolences Jenny.
He sounded like he had a good life, and very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed this explore, a real one off!
Sorry for your loss my condolences 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry for your loss. Losing your Dad is a rough one, especially when they were cool!!! ❤❤❤
The wood work in there is amazing. I've done interior trim for many years and seeing this kind of work is so awesome. It's a lost art that will never come about again.
As a professional trimmer myself, I agree.
@@user-ym3dk6dc8syeah that carpenter really took their time. I was referred to a man to finish a job that a man had halfway finished, but his daughter an only child was killed ,and needed a couple of weeks maybe a month to take time of to be with his family it happened in California 2300 miles away. He'd been gone 5 days and this rich prick wanted it finished now! Beautiful work.his tools were still on the job arranged in perfect order. The best power and hand tools money can buy. And so many different tools so he didn't have to change out blades and bits. More different sizes of clamps than I'd ever seen. First of all no way id work for the azzwhole. And id have to do the work myself. My employees could never match his work. Of course the guy was working by the hr who wouldn't right? Wanted me to give him a straight price to finish 😂. Guy wasn't in any hurry to get it finished so why the problem? I didn't wanna tell this guy what a dick he was. I wasn't touching the job. I told him I couldn't do the quality of work and he should really wait the month on the guy to come and finish. I told him you're in no hurry right? He said no it's just the fact guy said he'd be done in a certain time wow! What an azz. His wife overheard us talking. He wanted me to price building a home theater in his basement. I said I was told he needed small job finished and that wasn't the case. I was booked up and couldn't do it either. His wife said she was going out but waited on me at gate at entrance to the golf community they lived in. She thanked me for setting her husband straight and telling him to wait on the guy to return. 7 yrs later the old man husband died. And who did she call to remodel a bathroom?.... she called me.. gotta know when to say no ,and when to hold your tongue, it will always pay off in the end.
Yes, sad to see places like this abandoned! I heard that they are turning it into a museum. 😊
Thank the idiots who are all about trends and thinking computer technology is the only thing that matters. All the followers and losers who thought it was too hard to do general labor work and preferred to shake their ass on Instagram
male female whatever bottle opener you identify with. Uppity militant meth abusing weirdos became to the new normal. If u don't know where I'm coming from then good. I hope whatever I said doesn't make sense. Cause if it does. Then damn I'm going to Canada. Lol at least Thier women don't look like theyre 50 in their late 20s.
menthal
God, I hope no one else finds this place. That was great xx
This was filmed ages ago. I believe they're making it into a museum.
@@VacantHavenJonny Smith would KILL for this car !!
He loves rescuing rare British cars on his channel 👍😁
What a house. The man who owned the house spared no expense . 😊
And does not want you skulking around in there. Get out. Go home.
I believe the guy's name was Christopher Lloyd, you can read it below the picture they blurred out.
Thank you, Eddy, Neddy, and Alex! That place was just beautiful!
That woodworking, the train, all the parts in the hidden cellar.
It should be a museum itself.
See ya next week.
That car was 1 of 1. They actually made 100 of them from 1973-1985 with 3 companies that built them over the years. Still rare, but with that condition your looking, with running about 60k. Neat car and an amazing house.
Which car is it ... The name ?

Love the fact you show so much respect for these abandoned properties. The way you always try and leave things as you found them. Thanks and be safe!
This is not abandoned. It's clearly being renovated. That's why there is scaffolding. That's why there are tarps covering woodwork. That's why there is a dumpster full of rubbish waiting to be hauled off.
They found nothing. They were there by invitation. The lights are still on. They clearly came on a day where the workmen weren't there.
@@Fektthis I don't think you understand..... I mean I get your comment was a month ago but this is abandoned.... I've seen many places abandoned that look like they are being worked on but the reality is they were but then the owner died therefore who will pay the workmen? There is rubbish in the dumpsters that looks like its been there for years... I mean why would someone get work done when at the end of the video there is a door quite clearly broken, in 1 of the rooms the ceiling is falling apart, on the outside of the building the bricks are crumbling... Why would someone get work done inside before doing work outside? When I lived in France the house next door to me had a Ferrari in pristine condition parked in the garage, there was a grand piano in it and loads of art worth millions... It had scaffolding and tarps covering all the floors but the building itself was falling apart. It was beyond repair and was getting work done a decade prior... Long story short it didn't look abandoned look like someone was doing work on it but in reality was left to rot for over a decade.
@@Weepydruidyeah
I wouldn't call it respectful to uncover the car, open the doors and sit your butts down inside, actually try to start it, and open the engine cover. I'd call it bordering on vandalism. Look but don't touch is the rule for being respectful.
Nothing like respectful burglars, is there? I have reported this break in to the authorities.
Just a heads up, because I know this sort of thing is important to the urban explorer community. Despite your efforts, I was able to identify the owner of this place, and it's location just from the information in the video, took me a few seconds. Given what's there, I really wouldn't want 'the wrong sort' to also get a hold of this information so easily.
That's the problem with people making such videos if the wrong sort get that information imagine what damage they could do and the theft.
The video was recorded along time ago and it's now under care by a museum well from what ive found out so far lol
i'd love to know who owned it, it's deffiently not christo lloyd I don't think.
More than one Christopher Lloyd in the world lol!! ;) And our 'Doc Brown' is still with us. @@CruiserzProductions
Railway property is serious business.
I know who owned that place! Head of Steam at a Rail Museum.I didn't think he had died.
BTW, AC doesn't mean electric,it means Auto Car,the original name of the company.
Who then, a smell bullshit! If you did you'd just say 🤷🏼♂️
I feel like this house belongs in the National Trust! It's truly a work of art and shouldn't be left to rot. Thinking about the money that went into it is one thing, but to imagine the thousands and thousands of hours of master craft work put into that structure is mind bending.
Some people really know how to spend their money 💰! How about the bathroom floors, absolutely incredible! This guy really knew what he appreciated! And the view! I thought you could never top the toy video!
The car is an AC 3000ME, they were made by AC Cars in Weybridge, Surrey between 1979 and 1984 and it is powered by a 3.0 Ford V6, a very cool car!
You guys are the best! Fingers crossed it’s still in such immaculate condition,don’t want vandals and thieves getting their grubby hands on such a beautiful place. Keep up the good work!
Would be better to steal the stuff than let it ROT.
@@vihreelinja4743 Whoever owns it is clearly renovating it. It's not abandoned. They didn't find anything. Hell the lights were on for them. They were expected. Otherwise they're filming themselves committing a crime.
what crime would that be mate @@Fektthis
@@s13zenki Without permission to enter, criminal trespass comes to mind immediately. Unless you live in a country where that's not a thing. I'm not sure what country that would be though.
@@Fektthis England does not have criminal trespass
BEST BEST BEST FIND EVER...Mr Christopher Llyod doesn't deserve to be forgotten BUT FOREVER REMEMBERED for his artful life and incredible talent.
Surprised the car under the sheet wasnt a time travelling DeLorean then. (Doc Brown ;) lol )
Hands down the best find I have ever watched! Thank you for being so respectful of the property and contents! I would hope that it gets the care and love that it deserves. It really should become a landmark and be preserved for future generations to enjoy. That AC car was incredible the condition was just amazing even the paint was still really nice! I hate to think what may happen to this in the future? Keep up the great work guys!
One of your best explores yet, you really do find the most amazing places, it’s no wonder your channel is doing so brilliantly xx
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the wood carved roman numerals MMIV is the year 2004 - I assume that was the year the beam was carved . This is definitely one the most fascinating and intriguing films of an abandoned property. I love the fact you just HAVE to go in the attic, it's the LAW to go in the attic !!
Lads that house was amazing, what detail wow a dream home. Thanks this one was great.
Wat a place the stuff must be worth millions how can the place be open i really hope no body else finds this place or its going to be empty buy wrong people and that car a one off why is every thing left i really hope he had family to pass it to this is the best explore ever guys don't tell anyone just in case you know why guys
That was one of my favorite explores ever! Incredible find! Thank you for sharing and Thanks to Ned for always being willing to be the look out when it's needed.
Those mosaic floors in the toilet are similar to those i found on board the Venice-Simplon Orient Express!! Amazing floors! That scale steam locomotive is worth tens of thousands of dollars! The cart it sits on is used to move the locomotive to a vehicle of the same height as the cart which then transfers the locomotive from their home To a site where they can operate their steam locomotive on a layout with others who bring their scale engines/cars etc. most likely, there will be scale gondola, flat cars etc. with seats to take those visiting on rides! The downstairs train collection was amazing!! Manufacturers number plates, steam whistles, lanterns and so very much more!!! What a find! It appears no expense was spared when building their home either!! Best of woods, thick doors, marvelous hardware, wooden flooring, stained glass windows and on and on!! Great find guys!!!
It is somewhat terrifying that this gem of a building will fall into further disrepair and even worse attacked by vandalism.
It is of profound hope that this place falls to somebody that can take care of it.
I hope no fucker smashes that car up because some pathetic chav eventually will
You know whats crazy? I dont know how it works in England or w.e... But in the US this place could be owned if someone pays the back taxes on it... I doubt anyone has paid the taxes if everything is left the way it is...
@@dodge33445 no, that’s def not how it works here
The estate is likely tied up in legal wrangling: including who pays the no doubt exceptionally high inheritance tax bill: death duty has killed off a lot of the old money estates over the years.
There are ways to claim a property: but it’s unlikely you would manage it in this case. But then stranger things have happened.
Yeah that death tax is just REDICILOUS ! Trying to get rich off peoples family money after they die. They are sick for that. @@Ralnon
This is the most spectacular hunt I’ve seen in my 60 years. Much respect from abroad.
As a rail enthusiast, this was interesting. I did wonder if someone had died in there, all those flies!
Beautiful place, bit of mystery why it's been abandoned in such a hurry?
Perhaps someone with connections to the Foxfield Railway in Stoke?
Brilliant as ever guys.😊
The B M R Director chair is most likely a Brecon Mountain Railway chair.
Wow. Please do not delete that record. It can be an inspiration for many many people including me. This house is astonishing even when not finished. Great job mates!
Its good to see South Africa getting on the map. Awesome Explore Boys.
Love the way How respectful you handle someone else trash. You respect unique finds❤
Another class explore again…you guys are on point. Look forward to seeing the crew out on another explore!
Could you just imagine knowing the owner of the place and listening to the stories behind everything you found in the property. How wonderful with that be! I always loved sitting with elderly people even as a child and listening to the stories from when they were children and the adventures they had in their lives. No doubt this man had some truly amazing adventures in his life. So many ties the South African railways and it's very beginning. How awesome was that hidden basement with all the wonderful parts for old steam trains you could probably never find again. Not to mention the miniature set packed in there as well. That car was also amazing! It would be wonderful if the family would find somebody to take it and restore it. Something like that is made to be enjoyed not a museum piece. Do believe that was a Ford V6 engine in it. I don't think I could ever fit in it because I wouldn't be able to get out of it once I was in...LOL
That would be okay because I would never want to get out of!!
Thanks for showing us this beautiful place and being so respectful to the previous owner and the amazing contents that you know was cherished by the original owner of the property. I'm just amazed that the place hasn't been completely stripped of everything. Hope the family goes back and saves what is left. What a true shame that would be if this absolutely beautiful place were not restored to its original grandeur.
Kinda had a ( through the keyhole) vibe to this one. Very interesting. And Ed an actor 😮😊😮
Wow 😍what a beautiful place,the craftsmanship gone into this place is something else,and once again the respect you show 💫
this place is insane and the fact that you found what you found is crazy and i hope someone restores the place or preserve most of the stuff in it
Sundays are great when you guys put out your video on YT. The green train was amazing to find. The stained glass window was so beautiful. Someone loved trains, and secret inner rooms. And of course last, but not least, the sports car under wraps, wild find.
Thanks for the incredible tour.
My favourite time on a sunday.lookin forward to this haven ❤
This home is absolutely stunning , hope someone restores it and keeps it looking beautiful 👍.
You have to be one of the best abandoned explorers' finders ever! The trio never disappoints always quality uploads keep it up 🌟👏😎
And they never raid the abandoned buildings
@@CJM50I know and I wish they could have saved that awesome car! Unfortunately, that's theft and they don't do it. ❤
Best abandoned house I've ever seen on UA-cam good 👍👍
That's just a perfect home and property. Such a beautiful view for miles.. Car is amazing.
What a totally stunning house 😍 the unique layout makes it even more awesome! Thank you Alex, I loved every minute 💜
29:59... The most impressive thing about the car is it is immaculate. It looks like a brand-new car.
Such a beautiful piece of property, the attention to detail is unreal. Hope this gets into some good hands and not torn down like all other well-built places.
Stunning interior specially the bathroom floors and finding the train and parts in the cellar I reckon he must have had a track In the gardens
I do hope someone carries on where he left off and got the place finished
Oh my goodness Alex, it must have been so exciting to explore this amazingly beautiful place. I'm ready to move in. Your explores are the best. You guys explore places that I only get to see on your channel and in my dreams at night. Thank you 🧡
One of the best explores this year, well done lads.....
Thank you, high praise indeed!!
@@VacantHaven best wishes
Can't wait to see this episode guy's looks good 👍😁😁😁
would you get in touch with the AC owners club about that car , before some vandals find it and wreck it
AC Owners are aware of this video and the owners have been contacted.
This was so amazing!, Your my favorite team of explorers. I love the way you do your videos. The fun you all have together is priceless......Thank you 💜
Absolutely the best yet. A truly wonderful place. Thanks for sharing.
I know about every weird car ever made, but never heard of that concept car.
For 1973 it's amazing how much it looks like an '80s Toyota MR-2. And it's a mid-mounted transverse V8!!! Crazy sh!t, mang.
My 1st impression when I took the cover off was Ford Gt 40, but yeah lovely car!
Thanks for watching 👍
It is not actually a concept car, it was built around 1976 by AC with A Ford V6 engine, it was first called AC ME3000 but changed it to AC 3000ME when it was released around 1980 due to safety regulations, same time as the Lotus Esprit, so only around 70 was sold, its handling was very poor compaired to the Lotus.
@@zoomie74 Interesting. Thank you!
Wow loved those trains and that car Alex is suited you. Thank you all. 😊
Haha cheers Maz! Such a unique property this. Maybe a once in a lifetime!
The gentleman could not have had any family to leave his house and possessions too , maybe covid took him 🤔😔
Wow wow wow what an amazing place definitely one for the top find. You guys make me what to do this
Wouldn't know where to start
Thanks guys ❤
I just discovered you & I have to say I’m blown away by what I just saw. I love trains. This house had them including the stain glass windows. I fell in love with them when I went to Church as a little boy. I love how the sun glistened off them during service. This home has beautiful mosaic tiling too. Finding the concept sports car was a surprise too. However, that threw me off. The Director had a date of 1902 but the car had a much later date. I noticed the house had several bedrooms. I don’t recall that he had any children nor married. I was surprised as to why you were whispering as you were touring the home. I’m following you from now on. Thank you for a wonderful tour.
Wow, awesome find.. This is the best finds so far. I really hope No one else finds this house and loots or damages any of it
Fantastic find as always guys I wish Sunday's come around faster I so look forward to your next video keep up the Fantastic work guys.
The fireplace is gorgeous. I just love it. Alot ofmwork and time went into building it
The car is a real rarity. Built by the company that created the AC Cobra. It was powered by a Ford V6. That's the first one I've seen outside of a book.
That place is amazing! I hope someone restores it all back to looking new. There are a lot of very valuable pieces in there.
This has got to be one of the best you lads have done. Thank you
That car is an AC 3000 ME, it's not a prototype and was an actual production vehicle.
That was F_____g crazy, totally mad . What with a train inside the house to crazy old stone work and professional movie cameras those people must have unthinkable money . The wine cellar with a safe and another one filled with antique train stuff it was a paradise for urbex explorers . Thank you guys for that video , I'll watch it over and over . Stuart in Canada ..
Loved this one lads - brilliant - really enjoying tagging along with you lot - Great stuff - always looking forward to more - think I binged the channel the other weekend 😅 - take it easy lads
#ALEX.....
This was my favorite so far. I was screaming
"DON'T TURN IT OVER, DON'T TRY TO CRANK IT! DAMN IT Y'ALL BETTER NOT TRY TO CRANK IT"!
IT'S just really bad to crank a car with old fuel in it! Thanks for not trying it! ❤
DEF MY FAV EXPLORE SO FAR!
LOVE YA FROM ALABAMA
❤️🇺🇲❤️
Why would you 50 year old sitting car would hv a good battery
What a beautiful place and the car…wow!! The views were amazing…a fantastic explore, thank you Alex, Ed and Ned for taking us along with you ❤
THAT was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen!! wow!!
Nice find loved this one i love trains❤ shared to fb as per
You've done it again. What a magnificent house and 😢 so sad it's been left to rot away.
Love alk that wood and stne carvings and all those mosaics. I would award 10/10 to all the bathrooms.
You never fail to astonish us. Keep it up guys.
My golly what a find. As this is all South African Railways stuff I may well know the person who once lived there. I was a fireman on South African Railways until the very last in 1996. There were 3 of us who went to SA in the 70s just to drive steam and we became rather famous in the steam world. Would you perhaps know what the owners name was?? I bet he knew us from South African Railways. We perhaps knew him also. Great clip, thanks
I'm in shock. That place is over the top. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe.
What an amazing and beautiful explore this was. Just beautiful.....
Another first class find from the best A team , you guys just keep going one notch better than the last one.👌🇬🇧
The Very Best Find Yet you've had!!!!
The most spectacular of explores so far Alex. You just, along with the A Team, take us to places we would never have seen but for you! Cheers Alex Thank you. 🤗🤗
Definitely a one off! I don't know if I'll top this personally, I should hang the boots up now lol.
Cheers as always Nanny 😁👍
Wonderful video and I love that you are most respectful of others property and leave exactly as you found it , kudos
What an incredible home filled with awesone fittings & furniture. I loved the secret rooms & hidden entrances. Top explore guys 👍
This was so amazing and the fine wood work............I loved it.............Bill in Texas U.S.A. .....................
Fantastic find men. This is the very Best of the Best when it comes to abandoned sites! I myself being from the "Windy City", got a bonus find right there on top of Eddie's head. Kudos to you my good man!
I’d be down in that basement playing with those trains all day lol. Great find guys what a beautiful house!
This was absolutely extraordinary! What an incredible person that live there. One of the best tours you’ve done. The craftsmanship of the house its self inside was extraordinary. Wow. 🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
I can’t believe you found a concept car. There’s thousands and thousands of dollars worth of relics in there including the car. Just amazing. I wonder if the gentleman passed away 🤟🏻🫶💜😎🐬🇺🇸
Hello Alex and the A-Team!!😊 Wow, what an incredible home! Just amazing. Oh my goodness Ed had me laughing with his Mimi concert on the balcony above that beautiful bedroom.😂 All that I can say about the car was WOW!! What an amazing,incredible, fantastic find!😊❤
Your videos are always amazing, every week I’m never disappointed. Thank you for this. What a place xx❤
Awesome place. I so need that train! Stunning house with beautiful views. Amazing. Thanks for sharing! X
Abandoned ? That train didn't have a spot of dust on it ? Other things were dusty.
The small Beaulieu movie camera sells for $1000 and up on eBay! Sad all that stuff is just rotting away. Awesome job and find guys! Many blessings 3 John 2 ❤
What an incredible place and that car was just the cherry on the cake!!
This is one of the best virtual tour, thanks a lot! 👏 👏 👏
Wow!! What a find, just awesome. You really are finding the best places at the moment. Surely no one else has been here. Just beautiful loved those floor's. Tbh loved it all. Thank you the A team 😂.
Hi, the page you found about C. L. is not the guy from this house. His house is still used by his family and can be visited. C.L. was a famous gardener. But otherwise a very interesting explore and what a lovely place with those floors.
Hi, thanks for being discreet, we know who this house belongs to, but really don't want to show that on here to protect it as best we can from vandals.
@@VacantHaven Understandable
Thank you very much for this incredible Video. I wish you all a good week!👍👍👍
What a beautiful find. I hope somebody buys it and finishes off what was started. Thank you for showing this.
I think today marks one week since I've found and subscribed to your channel, Alex. I've been catching up on your old and new videos whenever the mood strikes.
There have been some difficulties for my family recently, leaving me to steel myself with stubborn hope and determined efforts toward a brighter future. I can only say "thank you" for providing much-needed new laughs - and many new vistas (both dark and sunny) for my imagination to ponder.
I hope the sun shines again soon for you and your family ☀️😊

It's sad to see such an amazing home abandoned! It would be better to give it away for free than to let it rot and decay I think.
6:14 “MMIV” in Roman numerals is 2004. Great explore, real cool place!
Just watched this again it was spectacular. Alex Ned ed u never disappoint thank you ❤
I was an antique picker at one point and we found a dresser that was worth $100 K the owners had no idea .. you guys have come across so many valuables that need to be saved !
Wow probably the man was a bachelor and worked for the railroad company and that house looks German style, the furniture and everything it is sooooo beautiful!
If you Google the name on the plaque at the beginning that will tell you everything you need to know👍🏾👍🏾
What an incredible find, that place is amazing with so much to see. No expense spared there ! Always enjoy your explores, thanks for all your efforts and sharing with us.
WoW. Just WoW. What an incredible building. This was really spectacular. Going to be a tough one to beat
You fellas find some interesting places! Cant wait😊

Who was?
what was his name?
Absolutely beautiful. There are no words other than I really want to live there. Thank you guys for sharing.
WOW! That is an amazing house and a great looking car that looks remarkably preserved. That place deserves to be completed and lived in, and of course, that car needs to be properly taken care of.
