Made sure we made most of the fantastic weather we had today. Went with Scotty.
I noticed this place from Google Maps while searching for something new. Seemed like a cracking place and appeared derelict.
Programmed the GPS and eventually found it. As we turned up the drive instead of the nice and quiet we noticed the place was overrun with people doing the garden. Also noticed several of the boarded up doors were open.
On meeting with what appeared the ring leader of the group we found out that although indeed derelict for several years the place was being done up and eventually turned into a charity and business centre.
Thankfully Janet was very welcoming and quite interested when we mentioned our interest in derelict buildings.
She allowed us free rein of the place so off we went to explore. She even offered us a cuppa and a hot dog.
Anyhow the place has appeared on Most Haunted where a TV crew spend the night in the house hoping to discover ghosts and the like.
There is lots of history on this place and it is a fantastic building! There is an ruin at the back and a garden with a fountain that is powered by the force of the stream reaching it.
On with the pics.
Cheers!
Go Scotty, Go Go Go!

Thanks to Janet for the opportunity to look around!
