[@christineharvey7105]

Such a Beautiful home to sit abandoned and the elements are taking over the house so nice to see no vandals have destroyed this home great video

[@linakiss9311]

Wonderful mansion,no words !!!!this mansion is very valuable,i do not understand why need to abandoned such a wonderful mansion, very very sad !!!

[@ckendall9955]

Lina Kiss Forbes wife said in an article that after he died, she didn’t want to live alone in such a large house. I guess neither of their daughters wanted to live there either.

[@jayjay151]

Just such a shame knowing that this place was probably once a happy place and to be left abandoned so sad but what a wonderful place ❤️

[@martingranlund2159]

OOHHH WOOOW, what a beautiful gellow bathroom, that was classics...Love it...

[@Ms_MalRkey]

What a great find....really nice house. I like your style too, factual, quiet and respectful! Subscribed : )

[@kazplumstead8329]

really loving your style of vids- great work . would love more background history on each explore , just to complete the package

[@jennyfoster792]

Such an amazing mansion thank you for sharing

[@suelabuhn5942]

Sweet house! I hope someone can move back in! Thanks for the ride along!

[@Daracdor]

What a shame & very sad to see such a house left alone . I guess there were happy days here . I wonder what Emma would think of it`s state .

[@jomama5186]

What a beautiful place. I hope to God someone buys and takes care of it. I am saving this one. Whatta house!

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

What a fantastic find, it's always lovely to see lily x

[@djdissi]

I have those exact tiles @5:57 in my kitchen as well. They're my back splash, had them put in when I reno'd in 2002-03

[@kyte.the.adventurer9748]

Very nice place love the gardens :-) lilly is cute I bet she could smell a few stories from long ago.

[@jwollman9475]

Beautiful home and grounds. Sad that it is sitting empty.

[@joannebailey6552]

Beautiful mansion! Nice that nothing has been destroyed other than weather

[@raynaknierim9277]

Absolutely love this beautiful house. Thank you for sharing. Wow is all I can say!

[@LSK77_]

Lilly is a sweetheart ❤️ that bathroom with the yellow tiles is not somewhere you would want to be with a hangover

[@eileenspink4394]

Loved the house and so many box left behind

[@pininprestatyn]

Hey Colin Love the vids. I like how there’s no gimmicks or ‘funny’ chat, you just let the places speak for themselves. How do you find places, is there a little inner sanctum of explorers that share info?

[@lisagreig2003]

Stunning building !!!!And garden!!! I really enjoyed watching this video

[@GeordieBoy1955]

I absolutely love the estate where this mansion is located. It has a list of celebrity residents, past and present, and will be inundated with visitors this coming September. Apart from the huge running costs of this mansion, the actual cleaning and maintenance of the property and gardens must have been an enormous task.

[@stevenmyers7676]

Great video! I really like this house, especially all of the bookcases, and not to mention the main stairs. And, of course, you are right in identifying the servants wing. I hope the bank that has possession of this house will soon fix the roof. You seem to hurry through, sometimes. I was just starting to appreciate the bay window and built-in seat in the master bedroom, and we were gone! But you do a fine video! Thank you

[@darrenwilkins7670]

Lovely place!.Great video as always!👍

[@tsuk2018]

One of our favourite explores to date!

[@tsuk2018]

It's a shame you didn't get to see the chandelier. Unfortunately things are already being ruined by thugs 😔

[@Laljo001]

So sad to see a place like that going to waste. Would be a lovely place for a family holiday home

[@andyskelton7223]

Cheers dude a nice relaxing 20 minutes 👍

[@james-to3ht]

Another fantastic offering from ye,decent people like you keep nostalgia nostalgic!apart from that slight flooding&dampness the house is very presentable,not even dust on the books!Lovely dog aswel🐶

[@nanetteforbes480]

Wonderful home. Sad to see it abandoned ;;

[@johnbacon1854]

What an amazing place. So sad to see it slowly decaying. Makes you wonder why, given the family are all in showbiz how they ended up losing the place. You mentioned it looked like it was re-possessed. Having said that, maybe the place was sold after Bryan passed in 2013, and the new owners ran in to some issues. Must be heart breaking for Emma, as she would of maybe grown up there? Not sure how far back Bryan owned it. The gardens are amazing. You can sort of visualise Bryan sitting in that chair on the balcony over looking those gardens and reading/writing his scripts and books. I bet if those walls could talk it could drop some names of visitors from the world of film and TV that came to dine there, or discuss a film. Amazing.

[@thetrouserpressguy603]

This place is now trashed. Very sad. On an earlier explore video of this place from a few years ago there was still a chandelier in the stairwell. There was a box on the wall just next to the door to the roof, which had a winding handle to bring the chandelier up so that the bulbs could be changed. I think that was what the glass light shades were for. Bryan and Nanette had this built in the late fifties. They lived here with their two daughters, Sarah and Emma. When Bryan died in 2013, Nanette lived on in the house for a while but, due to her advancing age, was unable, physically and financially, to maintain the house and the grounds. Although her daughters offered to help, she decided eventually to move out.

[@julietoms2575]

Hi ,I love you taking us around these beautiful adandoned buildings.It's such a shame they are left empty to decay,they must have looked so splendid when they were lived in.Not long found your channel and I'm loving it ty xx

[@angelsone-five7912]

Sad, I always likes Bryan Forbes, died 8th May 2013. He described his house as looking like "a 1930s ice cream factory". I knew from that it must be art deco.

[@maureenmilligan784]

Great stuff thank you most enjoyable

[@jomama5186]

Amazing!!! I have never seen a bathroom with even the floor covered n the same pattern. That is wild

[@rogerfleury9759]

Fountain is fantastic! Railings are unbelievable! Love the oval window! The woodwork is very well done! Lovely kitchen! Lamp and light fixtures are exquisite. Love the round windows. Glad the kids haven’t found this place yet! This house was a Gem! The little white place was a Gazebo. Turned into a bird pen.

[@davecooke914]

Beautiful home sad family didn't want life there must been happy memories

[@faveauxmaite9462]

Waouh ! Wonderful mansion ! Nice video !

[@bantalee2002]

I've seen one of his movies several times,.The Guns of Navarone. I just had to go read his BIO too. Interesting fella. He died in 2013,. Cool tour.

[@dearnapst]

Your videos is beautiful made, very pleasing to watch. Thanks

[@catherinecharnock8220]

Just wanted to say, your by far the best Explorer I’ve seen. Your very calm and give the viewers a good look. Keep up the great work bearded Explorer, your doing a fantastic job 👍 x

[@MrVxrman]

That sure is a beautiful house and so glad it’s not been vandalised 🙏 Cracking video as usual 🍻 I don’t know how you find all these places ? But glad you do 😎 All the best 🙂🍻👍

[@676regina]

Very good videography and narration! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@artiejohnson703]

Beautiful Mansion, can’t believe how many bathrooms. I lost count. Sad to see it abandoned ☹️

[@hotord205]

thanks for the very nice exploration video 👍👍✌️

[@fatimagomes9530]

Meu Deus.... é linda!!!! Como se deixa de morar numa casa DESSA????!!!!!!!!!

[@whitewitch1105]

This place is beautiful!

[@marydugan3399]

Beautiful place

[@kelleycolvin5632]

Can’t believe that they’d leave it like that when a famous person lived there it’s so sad what a waste of money

[@littlehenrytrewhitt8875]

Great photography!

[@dextervella]

He died at that house and it was not repossed. I had never heard of him so looked him up and he was an icon in the film industry. Hopefully it will be sold to someone that will bring it back to it's former glory.

[@dextervella]

@@Chrismartin88 I did not realise that so thank you for letting me know.

[@ckendall9955]

His wife sold it. If it was repossessed, it was from new owners. Supposedly it is going to be torn down and replaced by a hideous all glass modern house😡

[@jearnott]

This amazing UNLISTED Art Deco house is still abandoned as of December 2020, but under greater security. However on an estate where mansions sit empty, waiting to be redeveloped or demolished, it’s future is uncertain. A very sad state of affairs. It’s a shame the Bearded Explorer doesn’t do a little more research on the departed owners.

[@p24hrsmith]

With the housing shortage as it is it's criminal that huge houses like this are just left empty and no doubt before much longer the vandals will get to it along with mother nature

[@rosiew1952]

Nice to see no vandalism , beautiful floors

[@nancyweliczko9334]

What a beautiful home so sad that it is empty.

[@56oma7]

I can’t imagine that kind of money!

[@suelabuhn5942]

Lillie is so sweet! Good girla

[@anaalbaino3321]

Nossa! Q lugar lindo ✌👏👏

[@mrwilliams.65]

What a nice place

[@juliehoagland2023]

I wonder why his two daughters or grandkids did not either claim the place or sell it

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

Because he apparently died in the place that's why his widow sold it

[@teamone7979]

You should shut the doors & windows so it don’t rot worse than it is

[@eeeekthegeek42]

Hey Bro, I really like your videos you are really good at finding the best abandoned places which are incredibly cool. It would be fantastic if you could give us a little history on the places you visit, I understand it’s important to keep the location a secret as much as possible but it really leaves us with a lot of questions concerning why so many amazing homes are left vacant with belongings still in tacked. Thanks for all you’ve done to bring us these marvelous videos, keep up the great work!

[@jimking3288]

At 4:59 the bookcase to the right hand side (nearest the window) is a secret door !! The screen in the centre is a window from the dark room behind which you go into next.

[@carolynhollingworth5905]

What an awesome place.xx

[@sharonwashington8150]

Nice to see the scribblers have not visited. Must be on holiday! Love the bathrooms, great video as always. Who gets time to read all these books? one or two maybe, my spare time is taken up following you and others on YOU Tube

[@marineonewife]

Your dog is adorable! I love dogs!

[@lavueltaalmundoenunclick]

Congratulations, amazing place. Your dog is very brave and cool going with you, I love it !! Her name is Lilly?

[@janettaschuch3591]

It has been taken care of some. Pretty good shape .

[@clairefunnell8481]

Hi. Watching from Toronto Canada. Really beautiful house. Is it going to be demoed? Glad to see it hasn't been trashed. Only thing missing is a pool. That staircase was incredible. Thank you for the tour and take care. Just subbed to your channel.

[@7ANGLIA]

HOW CAN SOMEONE LIKE THIS JUST LEAVE THIS ON ITS OWN? A MASSIVE ASSET JUST LEFT

[@joaofarinha7953]

That mansion still appears to be very clean , so i will just assume that wasn't abandoned that long ago. Also nice to see you have got some protection 🐶🐶😁😁

[@Ianw236]

He died there in 2013.

[@smigger1977]

What is that beautiful piano piece playing at the beginning of this video?

[@denisesmith2745]

I loved seeing Lilie

[@dkchosen]

How'd you get entrance? How much to purchase?

[@csl6009]

You seem to be such an amazing guy, the way you carry yourself throughout the explores and the way you speak, awesome. Your videos are definitely amongst the best exploring videos on KZbin. You just gained a New subscriber. 👍😊👍😊

[@KatWoman_]

Camera moves so fast I got dizzy. Also, flying through the room without seeing architectural details. It would of been a good video.

[@sammyjo8109]

all you have to do is stop the video. DAH!

[@navisanofi7484]

Sangat indah

[@devenasabell2678]

Inside looks wonderful, is it worth refurbishing?

[@patriceguillemot5252]

Cool ta vidéo est très bien filmer continue à une prochaine👍👍♥️♥️

[@nelsonkatherinemartins6388]

Beautiful place!!! CANNOT HEAR YOU VERY WELL!!!!

[@elainemurphy2406]

I'd be devastated to leave a home like this, but would be happy for our homeless veterans to have it x

[@ls6-ss413]

Veterans maybe. But 99 percent of the "homeless" would destroy this place in a week..

[@julieshepherd5989]

I get the feeling that the Mansion isn't abandoned, it's in to good a condition, why would someone leave their note pad on the kitchen counter? Someone's been their recently. Be careful, someone may be watching the house. Its beautiful, what Country are you in? The books are my favorite, I hope someone is going to buy and restore the place. You're doing a good job, love your video's. 😊

[@elisahamilton73]

England

[@jenniferdokken8250]

It’s odd. There seems to be a key in every door with red material or ribbon on it. My grandmother rented a mansion in Oklahoma City and she swore it was haunted and they would lock the doors because they would come open by themselves, if they weren’t kept locked and sometimes they would come open anyway.👻

[@kevintarry9090]

Nice house hope its up for sale ?

[@mari-zn2lc]

È una villa da sogno! 👍😯

[@markchadwick6760]

It's a shame, you can almost see people playing on that tennis court, but alas time waits for no man.

[@helenweedon7716]

It is rather nicer on the inside than the outside. I don't think it is entirely abandoned though, it is almost spotlessly clean, and dust-free. And someone must be doing basic upkeep on the garden or it would have been a jungle by now. Possibly it is being got ready for selling. I like your videos but please move the camera a little slower so that it can focus, and we can see better. Also, please let us see what sort of books etc have been left. They can tell alot about the last occupant.

[@stephenborsbey4350]

looks about 1930. bryan forbes was an actor turned director. in the sixties. he was married to nanette newman who is still alive . she was in some of his films. he was a heavy smoker. i can imagine those books were his. he died in may 2013. after a long illness.

[@dkchosen]

PLEASE PUT MIC NEXT TO YOUR MOUTH. CAN'T HEAR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@fietsryer1]

Yes I think the same. Would have been nice to actually hear your comments.

[@mariecrisneri5228]

yeah... i cant hear him too... i put my phone to a maximum volume and yet , i still cant hear almost all his words... then ads pops up and sounds so loud for me to quickly skip the ads.. which is not my intention to skip it because i know ads can support him...

[@JuneAngelPews]

cant hear you!

[@timmo491]

Should you be there. Looks like its being renovated to me stepladders etc?

[@janwarriner6554]

Can’t hear your soft voice. Love your channel.

[@kelleycolvin5632]

Looks like they’re trying to clean it up and get it ready to sell

[@stugill4513]

i know that house what a shame its been left like that and seeing the main bedroom where the owner died was sad maybe you shudnt have put the owners name at the top makes it very easy 2 find

[@paulgoodwin2224]

Home of Bryan Forbes and Nanette Newman

[@glaucimantovani7366]

Welcome to Brazil!

[@martingranlund2159]

Looks like James Bonds house?

[@mariecrisneri5228]

all the video is really good.. but your voice is really low... i dont understand... i hope next time at least louder your voice...

[@WarriorforTruth429]

Really nice house...I could barely hear you....plus you scanned to fast made me dizzy.....

[@elainemurphy509]

so beautiful, so sad.x

[@rockysablue]

I know where that is. It's not far from the mother in laws.

[@Bembem1978]

instead of building a beautiful and huge mansion then abandone it better give to the homeless or build them a house where they can stay..it is more worthy..tssk rich people they use to abandonrd the things the poor one they will treausre the small things in their lives
