  • Hidden at the end of an overgrown driveway on the outskirts of London lies this incredible abandoned mansion, it’s been empty for many years yet it’s still holds many treasures. We found news papers dating back to the 40’s and even silver plated cutlery!! There were many things left from the previous owner (Richard) but its is unclear exactly why the house was left in this state? Hope you enjoy the idea guys & girls, if you do please hit the thumbs up & if you havant already please Subscribe too!!

    Absolutely loved this place! The wall tiles looked like they were still intact. It would take a fortune & completely all rewired & replumbed, but too bad that it couldn’t be restored! Loved all of the storage space! In fairly good shape considering the age of it! I really enjoyed this place, thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us!❤️

    Great explore, what a lovely house. quite grand really with servants stairs and all the back rooms associated with staff the slate worktops were before people had fridges and the wooden sink was to wash up very delicate cut glass and china to avoid breakages. Any house built in the 1930s with that spec was rare, fully wired and its own boiler room. The hissing tin was horrifying probably full of botulism. The power still on insane.

    It looks big outside but inside alot of small rooms the downstairs had alot of storage rooms like different pantry's I bet it was lovely in It's time . The room with all the books and paperwork had a padlock on the door so that room must have had personal things inside . Some one had been living rough there by the looks of it. I'm surprised the lights still work It's a shame for these old houses and what a waste thanks as always xx

    Neat old mansion! I thought that empty building was going to be the outhouse. All the bedrooms had washbasins in them and the bath did not have a toilet. Wonder where the outhouse went...... probably gone by now. That place had been abandoned for a long time. Incredible that the electric power was on and still working! Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

    Each of those tiles could be about £3/5 depending on their size.... Esse the cooker I'm sure I found one of their log burners (multi fuel fire) for sale on eBay a newish one...please be careful switching lights on/off especially with the old electrics (old fuse box)....that bath is very unusual not because the taps but the plug hole being in the centre very unusual lovely old bath cleaned up that'll be GRT, before it falls through the floor...the chair is beautiful it's art neavou the seat has been changed but still amazing to think someone made that by hand no machine's...this explore is fantastic,you don't have to be in a palace for viewers to wow....that fuse box in the amazing loft I think dates from maybe when the house was built which I thought was 1930s or 50 revival...wanted a close up of the loft fuse box some glare what a find ...even the outhouse was special.... GRT upload GRT visit. ....

    Wow. Must have been some grand house back in the day. The slate tops near the kitchen was a cold storage room for meat and things like that before fridges were used. What a crying shame they let these places go to wreck and ruin. What suprises me is the electric still on. Someone must be paying the standing charge for that! The old place definitely needs rescuing though before the idiots get in there.

    I am 33 and I remember when Cif was 'Jif' so I'm guessing it's not been abandoned since the 70s, unless someone's been in there to try to clean since maybe before it got too bad.
