shandon house

checked this place out today,got fekin soaked but hey-ho.....lovley on the outside totally different story on the inside.....


Much has happened at Shandon House since it was built in 1849 on the site of a previous villa. It has been the home of eminent Victorians and business tycoons, has twice served as a school, and has lain forlorn on other occasions.

It has witnessed happy times, with the laughter of children and social gatherings, but also heartbreak, financial ruin and bankruptcy.





not lookin promising for entry




let me in








and were in.....



















back down stairs






showers looked pretty clean considering the rest of the place

Well and truly derped, it looks fantastic from the outside...

bet it was fantastic back in the day

A glorious Gothic fantasy on the outside but by the lord that is well trashed inside,thanks for sharing

Didn,t expect the mess of inside after looking at the outside how f ing sad!Thanks for sharing.

looking through the photos again and i cant get my head round the last one which has a drain in the floor and what appears to be soap holders with no sign of showers and sockets on the walls...strange...??

wow the exterior is stunning, real shame about the inside

Not really - Obviously originally built as a wet room, the room was converted into a laundry room when the 13amp ring main was installed for the washing machines etc.

Good on you getting in here, it's the first time I've seen any internal pictures. It looks a bit like Lennox Castle before the last big fire.

Wow that's fantastic! The Chateau Miranda of Scotland! You need a tripod tho!
Fantastic shots, well done for getting in!

Have been desperate to see inside this place! Shocked at the state of the inside. What a waste
Cheers

Likewise, cheers for posting. It's a bit close to HM Clyde for comfort…
