House in the Woods, Yorkshire, February 2013

[Wakey Lad]

This dilapidated house was built in 1802 and has seen various alterations and additions during the 19th Century. The service wing is red brick built and is in far better condition than the main block which has suffered from several roof falls making most of the first floor inaccessible.

Without doubt the best part of this Grade II Listed Building has to be the Venetian stair window and stairwell which in its hey day would have been highly decorated and no doubt an impressive space. Although the building is in a very poor state it is still very photogenic and is full of original features.

Not many sites have caught my eye recently - but after seeing Derp Detective Royal Bob’s take on this place I decided to go take a look.





































Thanks for looking​

I love anything with a forest on the roof, as a rule.

Seriously though, those stairs are ace, and the taps ... !

Nice find.

Any modern history on the place? Looks like it's been cleared recently?

No modern history - I would guess the building has not been touched for at least 20 years, the tyre tracks to the front of the building are because its near to a live farm. Point to note, there was a lot of shotgun fire in the surrounding woods whilst i was there - Thankfully i never met the farmer
