In this explore we visit an Abandoned mansion
Located in the south of England. This stunning peice of Design, an architecture marvel modelled to look like the life stages of a Butterfly.
From the Larvae stage being the path leading to the front door, to the Chrysalis, which forms the stairs and inside areas.
Finally to the winged insect which is represented by the external canopies.
Join us as we take a look inside......

The origanal cottage was built in 1930, Laurie Chetwood brought the cottage, so he could enter the RIBA architecture awards, the original cottage is still there, he just wrapped his butterfly around it. The Chetwood family moved in to prove you can live in an art installation. The Chetwoods still own the property. The pattern on the windows are the same as a peacock butterfly, it helped to make the open canopy look like a peacock butterfly. Laurie Chetwood is still alive and runs his own architecture business, he has offices in China, London, Colonge and New York.
Thank you very much for the information. It's a pity that this work of art has been abandoned.
@@DANTEGRAFICODanteBDOria It has subsidence, so it's slowly sinking into the ground, so you can see why they left.
@@marymoor9293 thank you for sharing this information with us all it’s nice too have some context to this property.
Thank you Mary, I did know, I just didn't want to give away too much info lol 😁👍
@VacantHaven it would seem that you did well to record the property as it's due to be torn down and redeveloped soon.
Architect Laurie Chetwood built the home his business is in London and other countries as well a combination of art and architecture . If you look at the photos of this house it's amazing especially lit up at night .
Such a shame that such a wealthy successful man would leave this place fall into such disarray this is hard understand why somebody would do this to their own piece of art
Bloody hell, I thought my other half had slipped something in my tea and I was high 😄😄
That place is crazy, I'd love to know what was going on in their heads when designing this, they definitely don't do normal do they 😄
Great explore guys, thanks for showing something so crazy, loved it 👌♥️
Have a great week and see you next weekend xx
Edit: If anyone wants to see pictures of this family living in the house just Google architect Laurie Chetwood and all will be revealed 😊
They now live in a normal house 👍
definitely reminded me of monarch mind control programming symbolised by the butterfly
I always love the way Eddie scoots on ahead...theres no stopping him when hes on a mission. I did wonder if the EC initials on the door stood for Eric Clapton. What a weird layout but impressive detailing. Think the kitchen would let it down. What a great find. Thanks Alex, Ed and Ned. Xx love the end photo xx
Glad you enjoyed Gaynor, very unique house this!
Cheers as always 😁👍
Wow! What a mad find! And the goodies in the shed- speechless. Thanks for the exploration!
What a incredible house. ❤
Amazing, fun house. I wonder if the owner was a famous artist? That wisteria is incredibly beautiful. I wonder what made them up and leave? Why leave the buggies and Land Rover behind? Great explore 🎉Such a unique house.
Cool explore guys. Definitely one of the most unusual themed homes I've seen. BTW the Land Rover was a bit of a classic!
Thanks Bill same for me, defo one of the more out there Houses we've covered!
Certainly got my attention. Quirky, unfinished dwelling thrown up in a hurry but cleverly done. I loved it. Run on car batteries and probably some solar panels. Off grid. Loved it!! Cheers Alex. Wonderful video!
yeah ideal little location this, really unusual explore.
Cheers for the support Nanny 😁👍
That has to be one of the most unusual houses I've ever seen. I guess I go for more traditional styles cause I can't imagine being comfortable there. I really don't understand the bathroom! It looks like a bathroom Doc Brown from Back To The Future would enjoy. Lol
But it does have an amazing view.
Thanks for sharing!
That looks wacky 🤣 A must watch for laters All set 👍
The best urbex UK Channel, followed by Matt and the Secret vault. Quality video and commentary. Add in Pompey for good measure. 😁
Love that 2000s light, airy, colourful and experimental style. Not sure I could have lived in the house but it was definitely an era of hope and excitement culturally and artistically and it’s reflected in the design. Great find. Weird that they still own it and all that stuff is still there.
What an amazing, quirky and totally different explore. Like you are living in your own art gallery. Thank you. 😀
You're welcome Sal glad you enjoyed 👍
What a cool uniquely one of a kind house. This was awesome. Very different indeed. Awesome find.
Wow what an incredible place. Real Grand Designs style but never finished!
The owner clearly was an artist too, judging by the bits left behind and the stunning views from the house.
Very sad that it’s all been left - it would be great to find out more and understand how the design would have worked with all those pulleys and swivelling shelves😳
Don’t know how you’re finding those quirky places but please carry on!!
Great video Alex 👍 Ed and Ned 👍👍
Thank you as always! Glad you enjoyed this quirky explore Trish 😁👍
Fantastic place to work sleep and play...no nosey neighbours..seen this twice now..unbelievable that these place's exist 👌 cheers guy's
What an unusual place, I wouldn't have wanted to navigate the stairs after a few bevvies !!! Thanks Alex 😃
No worries Raven and yeah they were pretty funky!
It’s like they are in the middle of converting it into either an art studio or a weird home. It’s not comfortable and homely at all. Well done for finding this crazy one Alex xx. Note, on the walkway outside, someone has cut back the laurel. It would have overgrown that path
Nice seeing modern abandoned houses Alex, bit different to the others you guys see. Take care 👋👍
We like to cover all the styles, always good to find little gems like this! Take care also 👍
OMG Loooooooove this Place ✨️🥰✨️🦋✨️ Totally Love the Steam Punk Plumbing in the Bathroom ✨️🤩✨️ Why is this abandoned 🤯

It's definitely the most unusual houses we've found, glad you enjoyed it though, cheers for watching 👍
Incredible find, still sporting luxurious and creative architecture. Great exploration!

@@DANTEGRAFICODanteBDOria thanks for the support 😁👍 plenty of variety on the channel
What an incredible find! So unique, I have so many questions 😂
Wow Alex and crew that was one crazy place but very interesting I wonder what kind of a crazy head person built that. Thank you it was good as always.
Glad you enjoyed it Maz, yeah, it's a crazy old building this one!
Defo an artist, cheers for watching 👍
Architect..its supposed to represent the stages of a butterfly from larva, caterpillar to butterfly.
What kind of mind gave birth to all that ⁉I was afraid my eyes were going to pop out lol. Beautiful in a weird kind of way. I wish I could meet who ever did that, must be very interesting folks. Is it in south of England ? Kind made me think of Wales too. Great video Alex, Eddie and Neddie that was quite a find. Thank you 💖💖💖🦋🦋🦋
It sure is unique that's for sure!
It is South England Jackie, and as always glad you enjoyed the explore 😁👍
@@VacantHaven 💖

Wow Alex and Gang! What a crazy house. Incredible find on this one. Someone must have have been on some crazy drugs building this place.😂 Thanks for sharing this strange and crazy place.😊❤
Hi guys another lovely house and lovely wild garden studio house
What a fantastic place. Looks like something from the 1960s. Too much LSD. lol
Thank you, Alex, Ned, and Ed the hill climber!
Looking forward to seeing inside. 💖💖 Be careful on the stairs 😉😉
Lol cheers for that 🤣👍
@@VacantHaven 💖
I think the patterning on the tables and windows is the patterning on koi carp
Thanks for that explore ~ what a wonderful building 🦋👐🏻👐🏻🦋 namaste Sylvia 🕊️🙏🏼🧘🏼♀️🫶🏻🕉️
Definitely given me some interesting home inspiration 😍
Pick an animal, design a house 👍
After viewing this, I went to the Laurie Chetwood site...omg what an extraordinary genius he is! His prestigious architectural firm is beyond awesome, there aren't enough words of amazement to describe what Mr Chetwood has accomplished!
As I watched your tour thru the sadly abandoned 'Butterfly House, it came to me that Laurie Chetwood is the reincarnation of Gaudi ...(and perhaps Michelangelo as well, seriously) 😯
I did see afterwards that his favorite building is in Barcelona, Gaudi's Sagrada Familia...
Prayers for this incredible 🦋 work of art to remain untouched from vandals, and hopefully to go to someone who can appreciate it soon with a mind for restoration! It should be preserved!!! 🙏💛🖖
Brother tell me the address
I want to go there too
There's so much to take in, it's a major overload on my brain!
What a beautiful work of art what a shame it has been abandoned. this obviously cost a fortune and it is such a lovely location for a nature lover! A great explor guys and thanks for sharing.
Cuppa, chunky KitKat and myself will be there 😎
Chunky Kitkat not seen that here, I must go shopping ❗
Incredible!
This place is insane!
I would love to have seen this when it was being lived in and actually used!
I'm ready 😃
😁👍
Wow what a house.. Really quirky, not sure I could have lived in it.. Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome Jennifer, glad you enjoyed the explore!
What a generously designed home! So glad you shared this! The most beautiful explore!
Alternative living in the extreme, super cool place, loved it, would like to meet the person who built this, amazing find, astonishing to know that such a place exists here. Build not really suitable for our weather, California would work better.
What beautiful countryside!
Totally stunning 💜💜
I like it. Great content. Thank you Alex. 👍👍👍😍😍😍

Awesome thank you!
This is a really strange but cool place. ❤😊
Great find with this one.
The grounds n the hedges have been kept up a bit. That place is so artistic and extremely eccentric that it has a surprising beauty to it. I would have like to seen the place when it was brand new.
I don't think Ed knows how to slow down. He is determined to get to the house! That is a steep hill!
Obviously an artist
Playing with that hand on Eddie is funny 😆
🖐
I want the land rover 👌 😂, mint video guys strange house that one .

Nice one Kev, really crazy house this!!
What an eccentric piece of architecture; the amount of work that was put into the design as a whole is so incredible and clever, and just to think what this place looked like when it was all lit up at night.
That place was amazing.i definitely could see myself living in it. Gosh I also just love the quirkiness you guys have when you are together 👍💯😊..I really love you guy's ❤️. THANKS for the laugh. I really needed it. Just came home from the hospital after being in the ICU. JUST WHAT MY DOCTOR ORDERED.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you're OK?
