A very old, dilapidated farmhouse. Structurally not very safe. I can imagine this was a beautiful home many years ago. Outside are some stunning farm buildings with lovely brick work. There was a buisness trading from the yard at some point although I'm not sure what.
Some beautiful cast iron fireplaces remained in the farmhouse .
If anyone knows what what the agricultural tanks are let me know, I'm guessing Corn storage, maybe?
It was very dark in places, so a torch used , so pics not so great.
Hope you enjoy ...

Nice buildings. A shame about the collapsed roof. I think the tanks would be for grain storage. Did you climb up the ladder to see what was inside?
No indication as to how the silos were filled. Possibly by a spiral auger lifting the load from a trailer to the hatches at the top. May have been grain, or even silage.
