House of Ivy - October 2015

[jsp77]

This was once a lovely house, usual fire places etc, pretty empty, large shed out the back and the side and rear of the house totally covered in ivy.
Sadly there is not history to be found on this one.

Great find mate, shame the usual lot found it first.

Looks dry in the main house? Nice find.

Condition of roof appears sound - but the interior walls and ceilings tell a different tale. That ivy growth is well established and will be causing havoc with the brickwork/pointing. The fireplace in photo 8 has obviously got a well blocked chimney, but it is nice to see a floor laid with proper floorboards produced from proper timber. Nice set of photos here.

Ah, The 'adoration of the Magi, by Rubens,I was wondering where that had gone

 

[Mikeymutt]

[HughieD]

This is a well hidden place. Nice one jsp77

Thanks for the kind comments, yes this is really hidden and quite dry inside. You have to fight your way through the undergrowth to access the barn. Nice explore though.

So why is it called the Ivy Hous....oh I see!
Fantastic report. I doubt it'll be long before that really starts to crumble so you done well to document it as it is.
Thanks for sharing

Did you see the bones and skulls in the out-house?

 

[LadyPandora]
