Strange house - ransacked and graves!

Currently looking at houses in this area and have come across this place. Why do you think it's so messy? Is this just delapidation or has it been maybe burgled? I don't think I can live with graves in the garden. Seems very spooky but was probably a very nice house at some point. Very old.

The stuff of nightmares. Looks like it hadnt been touched for decades but its got a modernish looking water cylinder!

Woollypullover · 23/07/2024 22:29

Looks like a coffin in one of the pictures. Very spooky. Good size garden though (despite the graves!)

Wow I had a good look at that, what a find and I hope the new owners can cherish it and restore it to its former glory. Wouldn't bother me re graves I'd want to know the backstory and old look after their graves.
It does look like part of it has been ransacked what a terrible shame for it to have fallen into such disrepair.

That is gorgeous! It's a hell of a fixer upper but it's got the potential to be stunning.

Would need very deep pockets to renovate with grade 2* listing

S1lverCandle · 23/07/2024 22:32

It's a bit of a tip alright! Where are the graves?

Woollypullover · 23/07/2024 22:33

I wonder how long the paintings on the walls and doors have been there for

Two graves are in the garden. I wonder if the painter is in one of them

can you apply to get graves moved?

Only if you want to be haunted till the end of your days

FragmentedProvision · 23/07/2024 22:36

Wow! What a labour of love that would be, but so worth it!

DappledThings · 23/07/2024 22:37

That place would be amazing if done right. If I won big on the lottery I'd be all over that.

Giggorata · 23/07/2024 22:38

Me too, it's beautiful.

Domoda · 23/07/2024 22:39

Wow what an amazing house, and how weird it is in such a state. Someone will be able to make it stunning though

TheFutureIs · 23/07/2024 22:39

I hope the purchaser restores it sympathetically, it has potential to be absolutely stunning. Almost tempted to buy a lottery ticket

Sonnet · 23/07/2024 22:40

Wow ! would love the opportunity, and money, to renovate this and live it

Absolutely. And it’s in a lovely part of the world.

Same, if I ever hit the jackpot this would be my dream.

The shiny (new?) water cylinder surprised me! I suppose it’s possible someone was living there & just upgraded the essentials to keep it liveable, but in the end couldn’t keep up with cleaning. It looks like an abandoned hoarders place but also like it’s probably been ransacked by someone.

Woollypullover · 23/07/2024 22:44

I agree, it must have been beautiful, but just left to go derelict. Possibly damaged by burglars too

This is so beautiful. It makes me so sad that a house that has been loved for so long, that has seen centuries of history and been home to countless people, has got to this state. Another one buying a lottery ticket and doing it up if I win. I might be getting a present out first though because those attic rooms are seriously creepy.

It’s very weird, most of the items look pretty much dated so I can’t imagine anyone living there but the boiler is strange too in the middle of it..

BowlOfNoodles · 23/07/2024 22:48

I'd love an hour exploring it I love creepy shit lol

FretfulPorpentine · 23/07/2024 22:52

That is gorgeous. The very definition of having good bones.

If I had the money....

SuperGinger · 23/07/2024 22:53

It needs a good clear out, it looks like squatters have been in it. The squatters are far more creepy than the inhabitants from other realms

Woollypullover · 23/07/2024 22:57

I'm sure that's a coffin in picture 24. Why would anyone have a coffin in their house?
