Whilst out photographing military jets.i finished there and went on to look at a house I was given nearby.that was just a shell.but I spotted this one on route so I went back to look at it.the place is well boarded.apart from the back door.i was pushed for time so I set the lens to infinity and hoped for the best.there was a not lot in the house.looks like work had started to restore it at some point but they had given up on it.

I think you successfully polished a turd here, at least it's better than the one we checked out at the weekend hey.

Nice one. I love the irony of the painting of two children sat round a fire above a radiator.
Excellent shots as usual.

As one of my friends always says - 'You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter'. I always love the colour you add to your photos Mickey and you certainly make this house shine.

Nice report and photos as normal

Doodle · Feb 9, 2016

I did a little report on this one about a year ago, River Cottage. I used to pass it on the way to work every day when I lived nearby and it always looked a tip. I can't remember if the couple that lived here were American or not but they certainly had ties with the local RAF bases. From what I can remember it has only been empty for around two and a half years, obviously the subsidence became too much of an issue. Looks like people have been in and taken bits and pieces as there was a fair bit more to look at when I popped in...

Mikeymutt · Feb 9, 2016

Thank you doodle for that additional information..it was fairly empty.i will check out your report.
