Hidden by lots of trees this house has stood empty for a good few years. Until my friend got his hands on it, lol.
The only things I can really tell you about this house, is that it was owned by an old woman, who was a clairoyant/white witch, who used to go on radio once a month and give readings. She also had a son called Fred and I believe a draughter-in0law, who was also a witch.
After the old lady owner passed away, it's been said the draughter-in-law put a hex on the house.
The house than stood empty.
Until it was inhabitated by peace loving hippie squatters.

Sorry about the images, I was using my phone camera. Also sorry about being picture heavy, these are pretty much all the images I took, yes I did forget the kitchen and back garden.

An interesting house.

Enjoyed looking at your report...thanks :)
 
Nice old place with an interesting story. I like the hippie refuge too. :)

Good condition.

I've got a painted light bulb too.

I've always wanted one, but my missus wouldn't approve :(

Is the house on westdale? used to have those two old black cars on her driveway?? always wanted those cars off her.....

no, this house is just round the corner and these cars you speak of intrest me :)

An interesting house.

Enjoyed looking at your report...thanks :)

Thanks, I just wish I had my camera with me :(
 
I enjoyed that, your pics showed some very poignant reminders of the old lady whose home it once was and the “Hippies” who have squatted there seem to be showing a modicum of respect for the home of a witch, I assume they checked out the size of her oven before they moved in?
 
Great find,a lovely old timewarp place,nice to see some old stuff still intact instead of the norm of it being trashed or burnt.

:lol:@the groovy painted lightbulb,love it:)
Good post and pics !
 
Good report on this nice old house I loved the Hippie refuge looks great and I love the painted lightbulb :)
 
Wow nice find buddy looks like theres some interesting things in there :)
 
Love this place, as mentioned, a real timewarp. love the old newspaper ad, Datsun Long Eaton?!:)
they used to rust well, as i remember, did the Datsuns, my friends was always needing welding for the MOT.
 
Photos and house are brill. The painted light is deffo a hippy thing, and did i notice an electrical lead going into the loft? Now what could that be for in a house full of hippies??? LOL Great great place. :)
 
So does one of her relatives still own the property? I'm not keen on the hippy drawings on the wall, they kind of ruin the place I think.

LOL! I actually didn't notice that when I was there, might have to have a look in the loft next time I'm there ;)

The house is now owned by a friend of mine.
When walking into that room, it was pretty creppy seeing them
