Roo's Bungalow - Surrey - Sept 2014

[brickworx]

Tucked away atop a leafy, Surrey hillside sits this little place.....Its a wreck really due to the metal thieves gutting it for all they can but I spent an enjoyable afternoon here taking pics, having lunch, sitting in the sun and admiring the view.....thanks to Stufish for the tip on this one by the way.

Not an amazing amount going on in the way of left behinds....well, not much at all really....but I managed to uncover a few scraps that would indicate a couple lived lived here with a boy and a girl. I would imagine they spent many happy times there as it was obviously once a lovely family home with an amazing view amongst huge grounds when compared to the house size.

Don't get me wrong here, I know its not on par with the 'norfolkesque' abandoned homes I marvel at on here most days but hey, its Surrey and I can only guess that due to the property market here, anything and everything is snapped up and redeveloped real quick. That fact alone makes it a bit special as its been empty 10 years, a rarity for these parts.

Anyways, onto the pics - full slideshow available here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125506319@N04/sets/72157646933975230/show/

Well done finding this, a house like this in Surrey will be worth a few bob.

Neat report on a cool place. Found this by overflying in my helicopter :skeptical: Its a bit noisy so I returned later on foot to investigate.
The large Police Dog training area signs failed to deter me but walking the final 50 meters up to what from the outside looked a perfectly habitable house is somewhat nerve racking.
The tiny greenhouse has moved so others have visited.

Thanks Stufish..

Straight up?! Helicopter spot?? Cool!....yep, saw the police dog signs and actually heard a lot of distant barking but no run ins with the canines in blue.

When I went, there was actually a coffee pot sitting where the tank is in your shot so def been visited aside from us mate.
