I have driven past this site on many occasions over the years and always wondered what was behind the barbed wire fences and dense hedges? I finally had to have a peek.... and boy what a find!

I am going to keep the location secret for the moment, as i am not too sure on the status of the site, as it appears to all be empty from the outside, however there were people about the other day when i visited, gardening, i think :confused:

Anyway, after a bit of research i am sure this is going to prove interesting, as it was once a superb and i would imagine, expensive and highly fashionabl home to, who? possibly someone with an interest/involvement in sport? Pics not that great, as i was with my son and the gardening activities got the better of us, more coming soon.

I will finish by adding there is NO access into the house itself, all looks very secure.

Not retro in the sense, as we know it, but old....

Having a major PC problem at the moment, will add the rest in an hour or so.........;)
 
Very interesting -waiting with baited breath for the rest! :)

Wouldn't want to bump into those statues at night though! :swoon:
 
I'm looking forward to seeing what this places throws up! Keep us up to date as I get down that way every now and again so I wouldn't mind having a gander
 
Nice find. As I was seeing the sporty statues I was thinking Daley Thompson, dunno why, just the different sports I suppose.

Looking forward to seeing more of this place though.

This isn't the scientology HQ, called Saint Hill, is it? that's in EG...

I should warn you, the sci's are not a nice bunch...

Likewise L.B. I certainly would not want to shine my torch on that in the dark. I would need a new pair of trousers pretty quickly.

Yes, it kinda reminds me of A Clockwork Orange too. Active-undo-delete sounds like just the kiddie! Thanks.

I wish I could see these pics! I'm sure I know where this place is, like you, I've driven past many times and wondered about it. I know this is a very old post, but even today the same metal gate and barbed wire are present, the building looks slightly collapsed on Google Maps but it's hard to tell. I'm amazed no one has sold the site. It would be worth a lot.
