Big thanks to Rubex for the heads up on this one. Hard to find but well worth the effort. “House of The Damned” became known as such due to an old paper with an article about punk band The Damned. No sight of this on my visit but I’ve stuck with the name as I thought would be ‘Sensible’ plus you can’t beat a bit of “New rose” or “Love song”. Absolutely no history on this one whatsoever. The place reminds me of The Lock Keepers cottage near Grantham in that it is similar in size and was probably lived in by an elderly couple and upon their death, the fact that the house had no road to it, no running water or electricity made it unattractive to potential new owners. The considerable farm out-buildings are still actively used by the farmer but the house itself has been deemed surplus to requirements. Structurally the place is sound and has a good roof on it. Inside, as you will see in a moment, it is something of a little time-capsule. On with the pictures…
Here it is appearing over the hill…

Quite a few out-buildings:

Perhaps something stronger?
