I know the name of this explore site makes it sound residential, but the mansion part is really burnt out. If you go here it's probably just to see the cars now.
HISTORY: Built in 1869 for Mr Henry Hoyle Hardman, Horncliffe Mansion in Edenfield survived two world wars before falling victim to a teenager with low self esteem and a lighter. The Grade II listed building was lived in by the Hardmans until 1903 when the house was purchased by Myrtle Grove Mill owner Roland Rawlinson. It was used as a care home during the 1980s until 1993 when it was purchased & turned into a hotel/wedding venue. On 28th August 2019 a fire destroyed the remaining roof & interiors removing any chance of someone else getting use out of it. No idea why the cars are there. We found a sign for an old scrap merchant on site so that might have something to do with it.
EXPLORE: We were very disappointed on arrival to see it had been burnt out. The report we'd seen was clearly several months old. We bumped into another urbexer outside but can't remember the name. They were local though. Aerial view is from LancsLive website thought they probably knicked it from somewhere themselves (I need to get a drone):
We did jump in through one window but jumped out again after a minute or so as there simply isn't much left to view. We spent the rest of the time in the outbuildings and cars. They were all over the place:
It's an absolute shame about the house. Especially seeing the images we were hoping for on our visit like this:
