Nice! Love finding places like this - this surely has to have some kind of listing status?

Cracking pics - loving the bike shot

Ah, I thought those were goosberries?

Oh yes. Now I have polished my eyes I see you are right. (And it makes more sense in context.)

Of course, gooseberries are even more evil than olives.

Nice find! ! Really interesting exterior. It looks like the building has been bombed in some parts with some parts of the roofs and walls starting to collapse. But in saying that a lot of the gems inside look well preserved (not making a pun on the raspberries and olives now). It always makes me wonder what made the people up and leave so quickly because there looks to be so many random things in there (like the bike). I'm assuming it was abandoned around the 60's from looking at that image of the magazines.

Brilliant; I loved the unchanged and unchaved ones.

Well I must admit, Skeleton Key has been looking a bit peaky lately, walking into the room and seeing him sitting on that bed scared the S*** out of me!!!

Amazing. I park outside this house regularly when ferrying my little boy to-and-from playgroup.

I shall have a mooch around myself soon.

Incidentally there's a planning notice outside for the demolition of the old house.

All the best,
Simon

Absolutely awesome place and great pics, hate to think what it'll look like if any local chavs find it though.

Simply amazing and superbly done. That harmonium is tantamount to porn for someone like me! What a place.

Nelly - please see my PM.
