There is a tragic storey with this one…
This was once a row of seven picturesque thatched cottages , a desirable place to live, in a rural location, and with a price tag to match…. until a fire destroyed them, leaving the upper floor a burnt out shell. The fire started in a chimney one evening, and quickly spread to the adjacent properties. Up to seven fire crews fought the blaze, but fortunately no one was injured. Possessions were salvaged, but no doubt someone would have lost some personal items.
Some of the properties were in poor condition, stripped of most possessions. The larger end property had a few items left – a couple of sofas, children’s toys, and a garden wendy house.
A sad sight to see…. On a brighter note, the building hasn’t been demolished and maybe listed, and with the value of the real estate, perhaps they may even be restored.
Explored with Frizman, on a glorious spring day.
