whilst in the area having a bit of a culvert failure our attention turned to this house, its called manor farm and im assuming at one point there was a farm here....anyway the house itself has always been on my "to look list" and to be honest it wasnt bad.

it comprises of about 6-7 bedrooms upstairs, large living rooms on the ground floor and what looked like a small kitchen at the back also some sort of nursery extension and evidence of a small shop at the side at some point....also has a 3 lions crest at the from of the house.

the bathroom i found to be rather interesting, virtually intact again with no damage with a lovely bath sat on cast iron legs.

also around the house various rooms had lovely stain glass windows but the main eye catchers to this house was deffo the wallpapers nice and retro....

its not much more of a brucie bonus tbh ,but its new and something ive grown fond of nowadays exploring, if your looking for something on par with the hoarders house look away now this one is nothing like it.

i cant find any information on this place anywhere but id love to know who lived in it last ,and when it was last lived i cant even find any old pictures of .....if anyone local from runcorn or surrounding areas has any info drop me an email.

also i found evidence of an old tip in the woods at the back which could be also connected to this place..

Wow what a fantastic explore! Couldn't be doing with that wallpaper with a hangover! Some really fantastic light in there tho! Nice write up to: Thanks for sharing
 
Holaaaah! I dunno about viewing that wallpaper with a hangover... but with LSD you'd be in there all day! :p

I liked the formica lined draws, I inherited some exactly like that in my first ever house!

Great report, thanks for posting.
 
The house looks in pretty good shape considering the 'surface dilapidation'

Thanks for sharing.
