It's been a while since my last report and this one is a little underwhelming on the images.
Nothing particularly interesting on the history - built in 1865 and later developed into four separate flats. The house is still divided into two and part of the upstairs was a no go.
It's quite overlooked and as usual I was too lazy to bring my tripod, so limited to a few "subtle" flash shots. Met a couple of others whilst we were there - thanks for warnings on the floors! If you plan on coming down to Plymouth let me know - I'll give you the tour.
This is the only external, light was fading and by the time we made it to the front handheld shooting was out.

This good doctor who lived here was obviously bit of a hoarder.

The whole place was full of what was once beautiful furniture.
Mountfield-3 by Dr Gonzo, on Flickr
And some truly awful paintings.

Solid Marble fireplace

These images really don't do this place justice, I'll be going back in the day to get my fill of pictures. Well worth a visit, although its now on the tourist trail and getting badly smashed up.
