The Alchemist House Abandoned Victorian Home Untouched Urbex Documentary

#abandonedhouse #urbex #abandonedplaces
We explore an abandoned mansion with everything left behind.
This prestigious 19th century manor house sits alone in the open countryside, surrounded by acres of rich farmland.
Its great privacy and peace attracted a wealthy military man who made this his family home.
Able to enjoy the finer things in life, a grand collection of unique items became abandoned here upon his death.
The property was then inherited by a prominent doctor who raised his family here, adding to the fascinating array of contents that remains within these old walls to this day…
As we venture down dark corridors, past the gazing eyes of generations gone by, we find their private chapel, adorned with immense attention to detail.
A combination of the two interesting inhabitants has created a captivating museum, allowing us to peer back in time and see how these wealthy families once lived, so many years ago.
A large quantity of wine was produced from the extensive basement, as well as fresh honey from their bee keep.
Dormant for decades, it hides behind its tall stone perimeter wall, a hidden treasure, a portal to the past…

Jess needs to make audio books. Her accent is so beautiful and her voice is adorable and soothing. Imagine her reading like a meditation audio book, or any stories that are chill and relaxing.

[@emeraldhope8829]

I thought the same thing! She's adorable and her voice and accent is amazing. Great video everyone!

[@vernoworkman2919]

Respect

[@patriciajrs46]

This particular video is in a man's voice. Why would you say she? Unless it changes, or I missed something.

[@fareshajjar1208]

It was never abandoned. The previous owner just didn't live there. That doesn't mean it's abandoned. Very few of these so called "abandoned" places on YT are abandoned. They have owners who are waiting for some reason to sell or renovate. Law enforcement needs to stop these videos being made. I have a very interesting structure on a large land lot that I own and I have had endless trespassers with cameras trying to make these videos. I put up security cameras and in two cases I brought legal charges and am pursuing them to the fullest extent of the law including punitive damages equal to all their YT earnings for all the trespass videos. Trespassing is a crime. All your videos are doing is giving a roadmap to looters and vandals to destroy private property. There is no such thing as "abandoned" if there is an owner, which there almost always is. People shouldn't be allowed to make money from illegal trespass. Profits from these videos should be seized and given to the owners of the property. If those owners want to make a YT video then they can. It's not for professional trespassers to do that.

[@SlipSlidinAway]

TS 22:43 The oddly shaped box and its curved holes..that was used for holding chisels. The curvature of blades and all the different sizes, the depth of the box short to long. All made sense with all that fancy woodwork in that beautiful place. Your areas in wine cellar that hold water were generally used for soaking new barrels so they would swell and not leak. In the UK you can actually find some abandoned places that have outdoor ponds right by the wine cellar doors. Rolling them out of the water into the cellar. Quite impressive how each country thinks. We have a vineyard just down the road from us and they have an indoor barrel pool as they call it for swelling barrels. I did however notice lots of those you filmed, the rings were loose. An yes we here in America would pay a small fortune just for a 55 gallon barrel. Great video once again. Jess working that camera an going where the bats were..bravo on you lol I myself love love love bats. Enjoy the rest if your weekend❣ xx

[@planesail1956]

the box is for cutlery

[@margaretdrew2844]

So the box is not what i thought i was

[@Marilyn195]

Amazing manor house,ornate woodwork,beautiful light fixtures,amazing old furniture,it was like stepping back in time touring through here🇨🇦

[@isabellamusulo9190]

This house is a dream (I love everything from the victorian era). They had such an exquisite taste back then. I can´t understand that wealthy people nowadays don´t wish to save such houses.

[@serenityalways9882]

Hey guys! I just felt compelled to tell you that I just accidentally ran across your channel this evening and you truly have some of the most interesting home findings! Thank you so much for sharing your discoveries with us! I absolutely LOVE how you take the time to view intricate pieces let alone, you don't talk your way through your discoveries as it this is some sort of a sales channel. You not only let the incredible finds speak for them selves, you know when to pause for a second so we can get a better view of what you are seeing! GREAT WORK Sam & Jess!!!!! ✌🙌🙌🙌

[@jefflawrentz1624]

Wow! This was quite an exciting adventure with the hogs and house full of treasure. The box you saw at about 22.47 minutes is called a knife box and would have held the good cutlery for the household. Probably late 18th century. They were generally found in pairs and kept in the dining room on top of the sideboard at either end. That one book in the trunk in the attic was bound in vellum ( sheep skin). You guys did an excellent job. Love your vlogs!! Safe travels.

[@craig9299]

Its not abandoned and they have now advertised the place to be robbed. You all supporting them encouraging them are just as bad, what if I come round to your house when you are out and walk around it with cameras ? Selfish little runts.

[@landas31324]

[@tommyjohnson6961]

Those were just domestic farm hogs, not wild boars. Another great video, thanks for taking us along. Also, Happy Birthday Jess.

[@cypher7648]

Didn't look that frightening or aggressive to me, but cobwebs don't freak me out as much as Jess either lol. Truly love this channel though

[@davidhaworth7152]

Also wild or feral pigs would run away from people.

[@TxRednek69]

I laughed so hard when they ran around the building right into the pigs. They ran one way and the pigs the other. I agree they were domestic pigs wondering what in the hell just happened. LMAO

[@TheCydroid]

I agree. They’re just farm pigs.

[@bevolson7619]

So hard to imagine that these families can leave these places abandoned and decay to the elements…. I truly will never understand and there are so many of them. The architectural items that sb preserved. I guess we come into the world with nothing and we leave with nothing and the “stuff” in between DOESNT matter.. just interesting from historical point of view..

[@Lee-eu6wf]

I agree with most properties I don't understand it, but with a big old mansion like this it would cost millions to live back in there and knocking it down would be a travesty. Makes me think all the work put into the grandeur of it means nothing now.

[@TheAnonyy]

Because they would cost a bomb to restore no-one is daft enough to sink money into these old places unless they have an end plan as the running cost/maintenance will eat into your pocket. No mod cons that would be prohibitive to install in a property that size. It's unfortunate but best to buy modern built property unless it has had very good maintenance record of its old

[@isabellamusulo9190]

@@TheAnonyy Unfortunately they don´t know how to build such beautiful houses or furniture anymore. These houses are the remnants of a very highly developed civilization (everything was very beautiful in that era) which disappeared completely (within the last hundred years).

[@sarahstrong7174]

I think at the end of the video it is possible to see a vinyard laid out behind the house. They must have made wine from their own grapes.

[@sarahstrong7174]

What an amazing place. Thankyou for showing us.

[@Rinzler03ny]

Sam and Jess, you guys bringing life back on the abandon place especially the Portugal series appreciating the details of the abandon house. Great job guys

[@gregg3356]

I think this one was my favorite! Would love to had seen it new! The furniture was amazing. Again, Jess' voice was my favorite...so soothing 😊 thanks for taking us along.

[@dennyhart3267]

Wow..the furniture is incredible

[@EffortlessLH]

What a exquisite house! I love the medieval type kitchen and the high ceilings. The woodwork here is so ornate it’s lovely. Thank you for a really interesting explore guys! Happy Birthday Jess, have a wonderful day!! Xx

[@stanleydobson382]

If pigs could fly you might have been in trouble. Lol. They are extremely intelligent and are as curious as cats. Beautiful house with so much left behind.

[@emeraldlynx7]

So beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me what gets left behind

[@mantralife6620]

Ever wonder why all the buildings from that era I had to be a huge castles with tall doors , tall windows and tall ceilings. I think some of these buildings are older than we even know. Did they build it or did they inherit it? There were giants in those days.

[@ranamcmahon7653]

I've never seen such beautiful furniture and wood working! Wow! Thanks for sharing! 😍💞🎇

[@Hairnicks]

I loved watching you avoid the pigs, what a scream, I think they may have ended up more frightened of you lot. What a tragedy to see this beautiful house in it's beautiful decay, there is so much there that should have been saved before it's too late. It is awful that the uniform jacket was stolen from the music room, but at least it might survive as history before it falls into rotten threads. Excellent explore as usual Sam and Jess.

[@CatsCoffeeCrime]

Oh Sam & Jess a lovely explore. What a wealthy family they must have been the land alone… Thise wild hogs - ugh!😲The Chapel and the basement were great. The carved furniture and the light fixtures were beautiful. Grand Job! Looking forward to your next explore. We are all loving😍 Portugal. You really do it justice.👍🏻 Until the next one ☮️out.

[@davidsweetzer3016]

Nice

Truly incredible house, I live in the US and I'm probably 80% sure I've dreamed about walking through hustle like you guys... Very strange giving me cold chills

[@michelleferrell2788]

Who needs security dogs when you have security pigs! That was crazy! What a beautiful home!

[@offwiththefairiesforever2373]

Breaks my heart truly. That such structures have been left to ruin .......increadable things left inside to rot is a shame 😕 If beyond restoring it then it could at least be able to preserve the treasures within. Bargain hunt.....Antique Roadshow where are you?

[@debrav3273]

Simply fascinating. I appreciated that the house had not been trashed. You guys are great!

[@marilynwargo6288]

The last place was filled with chests and trunks and so was this place. Beautiful wardrobes again lots of desks and furniture. No China or cooking ware. The building seems to be in very good shape. Attic and basement dry. Some one could fix this place up. 🌸

Hi Carl n happy birthday 🎂 🥳 Jess

[@caileach1]

I do like watching, but it makes me sad, such beauty wasted, then very angry that it is just that/ EXCESS .. no respect for the luxury and expense, to just throw it all away .

[@deborahschroeder763]

Banger explore! Absolutely loved this!

[@Aurora150264]

This house must have been amazing in its time. I am always astonished that in a lot of abandoned houses, the often very precious antique things an furnitures, not has been stolen. Sometimes you can find really valuable antiques.

[@mynx369]

This location is definitely by far the best and most phenomenal location you’ve been to in Portugal...if not even from all of your videos that I’ve seen! I loved everything from Portugal! Thanks for going and sharing...I can’t wait to see what’s next and where!!! 💖💖💖💖

[@lotusdolphin]

Hello loveies. This one Has to be one of my absolute favorites. I love it when Jess gets scared she gets the giggles LOL that was hilarious could hear was Carl saying be quiet don’t move nurse just over there giggling it up. So funny I’m glad none of you got hurt though. this beautiful place Certainly did not give any of its many secrets away. With that said it has to be one of the most magnificent places. And it’s really not in that bad condition. Even at this stage it could be saved. It’s absolutely humongous. Really enjoyed this one. Bats, boars and Braun. Love the music too. Be safe can’t wait for next week. Love and hugs to you both.💕🍀🤟🏻😎🇺🇸

[@lotusdolphin]

I really need to proofread these things first before I hit send. That’s what happens when you use your phone. Hey Sam when you upload this can you put in a spot to donate a pint or whatever for a phone I saw him one of the other ones I think it was touring London by foot you can scroll through and there’s a spot to two tip the person giving the tour if they can do it you should be able to do it too. For those of us who don’t use our computers to watch but do you use our phones… That would be really handy.

[@shypuppie2009]

I loved all the old furniture and antiques were really awesome

[@diannecrookes7172]

Thanks guys fascinating explore love the wild boars stalking you!!!Happy 25th Birthday Jess Looking forward to next adventure All the best guys from Egypt 🧡

[@wandapowell4003]

Definitely not boars. Just domesticated pigs grazing the grounds

[@winonamika4891]

Have funny is this! I keep 8 pot belly pigs and they are much more vicious than these little farm pigs. The large black is a braid that's known for their calmness and their ability to get along with people. They weren't stalking you. They were looking for treating food.

[@nancyhillard6456]

There is a fortune in that place, from the furniture down to those old vicks boxes!

[@joyr.5689]

Just watched the home from five days ago and now this one. Both beautiful. Besides all the beautiful furniture and rooms in this home, the one thing that stood out to me was that it looked like someone still took care of the home. There were areas where plaster was off the ceilings, but not on the floor. There were buckets on the floor, but no debris from the ceiling. Every room had floors clean of debris. Strange! Thank you! Very nicely done.

This was a magnificent explore! I’ve seen it before and I realized it from the beginning when the pigs showed up cause I believe it was either explomo or bros of decay that stared down pigs on that stone back stairway and balcony area. Either way y’all showed the mansion from a different perspective and you did a stellar job. Thank you for bringing me along . Cheers from Sugarland Texas 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️

[@sarahstrong7174]

Often the openings up high in the chapels were used so that pregnant women, or women who had recently birthed children could sit & watch the services. In earlier times it was not regarded as socially acceptable for pregnant women or women who had recently given birth to be seen in public & they would be confined to quarters. There was a period when such women were regarded as taboo or 'unclean'. In older buildings there are sometimes little windows high up in the old halls for the same purpose.
