Have always dreamed of seeing this place, it's location has never been discussed publicly and I can see why, I have never asked anyone where it is only pointers for access, I found it through a bit of googling, it would be an absolute shame if this place were to be visited by the 'wrong' sort.

I would hope that its location will not be shared and future posters would keep external shots to a mininum if any at all, if you really want to find it, you can as I have done thus making it even more of a reward on top of the visual feast that is.

It seems to be being renovated ever soo slowly and doors will be opened and some will close, so I guess everyone's visit will change acccording to where they are with this

As is mentioned on other reports it is partially lived in so extra respect is called for here.

After an age of planning and a roadtrip formulated, we finally made it to GT MANOR!....oh joy.

It was mostly a very peaceful and tranquil explore to one of the best locations Sshhh... and I have been too along with 2 other non members.

Be warned there will be HDR I have fought the urge many times but some have got through the rather awkward lighting in here makes it hard to capture the grandeur....No excuses I hear you say, too late I shall hide and you will never find me.

Leading to the kitchen / pantry areas we are met with this rather grand entrance

Most parts we could see were mostly devoid of artefacts but there are the odd lot here and there to break up wide angle room shots :)

This was perhaps the messiest part of our visit this led back out of the house again into some kind of unkempt area of the otherwise nicely maintained grounds, after all there are other lived in houses on this rather splendid estate.

Back through the stained glass windowed doors not bothering with the pitch black cellar near the kitchens we enter the exquisite domed room.

It was just awesome in here, the modern gas heater was in great contrast to this handsome old room, its presence evidence of the random comings and goings of workers carrying out renovation, we occasionally hear 4x4's and vans going past and hope each time that they don't stop outside the front door, not too far away from us.....

... we perhaps would feel more at ease upstairs

or maybe not as we kind of worry that right here is over the top or very near to the lived in parts!

So down to...

...the room with fantastic windows and marble pillars, even tho there were more visually sumptous parts to the manor, I found this general area to be the most tranquil and peacefu,l so we had our dinner break here :)

I love this place,such beauty and grandeur, I just hope that the features remain intact during the renovation and the wrong sort dont trash the place, that would be very sad indeed.​
