Hi, I found this completely by accident traveling to a friends wedding and took a wrong turn, its an old mid Victorian Italianate mansion designed by William Wesley Jenkins built around a late Georgian house (1852).

A lot of the outer walls and inner walls are still intact, unfortunately there is nothing else inside other than plant life

Even though this is ruins the gardens still seem to be kept in good order, possibly by the owners of the building adjacent they may even be the family that owns the old mansion

Well this has been my first post on here, I hope you have enjoyed it :)
 
That's really lovely! I love it when nature reclaims buildings like this :) fantastic photos also!
 
That is nice, the large plant is a Gunners minicata, sometimes known as dinosaur food, probably escaped from the garden, Thanks
 
Very nice great report and what a stunning place.
Some really nice stonework
 
erm...thats like 4 miles from my house and i didn't know it was there :cry: lol. nice shots
 
The house has a slight 'Osborne House ' feel to it . The tower was a popular feature in Italian house style architecture and arched windows were quite popular too I bet the inside was grand in its day. Nice report
