🌟Oh my what a beautiful home full of the beautiful lady’s memerories, im feeling a little emotional reminds me of my god mothers and grandparents homes. I remember those old patterns mum had alot of those too. It really upsets me to see family memories litered all over the place why cant people just look? Instead they have to ransack everything. Beautiful wedding photos. So glad you got to document the home and that it is in very good condition. Thank you so much again 🌟❤️😊x

Hey, Paul! 👋👋 I've been missing your videos. I had got a bit behind watching, but things are getting back to normal for me. So, my brain reverted today to thinking, "Oh good - it's Urbex Indigo's day!" And then I realized I hadn't been receiving notifications in a while. Maybe YT thought I wasn't interested any more? No idea if that's a thing, but I'm back to receiving all notifications again! This was such a sweet house! There was a lot of love and happiness there - you can feel it even just watching. It must have been a very strong feeling in person! You sounded so nostalgic and so wistful when you spoke about it reminding you of your grandparents' houses and your old bedroom at home. It was clear that this one touched you. It's in amazingly good condition, considering how long it's been unoccupied. I'm concerned, though, that it won't be for long since it looked like there were now some broken windows letting the elements in which is the death knell. 😢 It's too bad whoever the owner is doesn't look in on it, fix the broken glass, put new locks on and secure the photos and paperwork left behind. Lastly, since I've not been watching, I don't know if this is just a "sometimes" thing or if you've teamed up with The Frightened Explorer, but I'm glad you're not out in these desolate places alone. It used to worry me! So glad to be back!

[@PeterMcginley77985621]

Lovely little home there, looks like it could have been a happy home at one time, I always find it very sad to see old photos abandoned 😔

[@fairywrenwhispers]

There are so many memories of presence & of someone's beautiful story 'of being' in that sweet old home of yesterday (I know that nice old musty smell you speak of) - a vintage aroma of nostalgia like at my great grandmothers, grandmas and aunties houses -. I felt 'shivers' (in a nice gentle way) from it's energy & quitely sad 🙏 Tears - seeing all the memories (the beautiful wedding photo) , books, the 1953 newspaper (wow)! a will, the old bank account book & yes those old patterns my mum & granny had those too 💕& even the beautiful handmade crotched / material coat hangers in the wardrobe. The beds at my grand parents had those rusty old spring matresses too & wood panels on the walls. The moth was a lovely sign to see of transformation. I imagine you may already have a name of the person those memories belong to with the 'bank account book' & 'the will" - so heart breaking to see them all scattered (I know that it may not be possible to trace the owners story due to privacy & other circumstances & around legality of course). I hope & pray one day the memories find their way home to someone who will treasure them and the memories - somewhere out there. Thank you for sharing Paul and it's so lovely you and The Frigtened Explorer share your channel journeys 💕

That was a nice old timey country farmhouse.

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

A lovely explore, I've just watched both videos on Frightened Explorer's channel. That moth was the size of a small bird here in Ireland! The ceilings are so high in this house too. I'd love to see those photos saved and given to someone who'll look after them - they are ancestral and irreplaceable. Wouldn't take much work to make that little house liveable again. Seems in good condition considering it's been abandoned for over 20 years.

HI. this home was loved. sad that it was forgotten. country people that took care of their home and contents.

For some reason I got a strange vibe from this home. I think it's the lack of personal items, other than the pics, and nothing hanging on the walls. It is such a cute house and looks like it could be cleaned up very well. And I've never heard of a moth called "David Lee Roth". that's rather interesting. Also the newspaper with Queen Elizabeth is so cool. Thank you for the video!

What a lovely explore Paul 😊 Even though idiots have obviously been in and 'rummaged around' I get a nice vibe from this home. As I've mentioned here before - my parents seriously considered emigrating to Australia in the mid 1970's but for whatever reason never made the move. Well, after watching this video - the next time I have to pull my stab vest on (joking!) and drive into my native North London to visit my parents, I am seriously going to ask Dad why he never made the big move down under 😁 Hoping the summer heat isn't too bad there, and of course thanks as always for a great upload 😊

[@julzcares]

Happy New Year Paul. What a great start to 2023, walking through an original farm cottage, with very little updates since the 1970s. It appears the cottage had a renovation during the Art Deco period, due to the two different styles of internal doors seen in the footage. The photographs left behind no doubt have a story to tell. Also, there are some lovely original Art Deco furniture, providing a reminder of the yesteryears. Thanks again for a lovely explore.

[@timareskog2418]

It makes you wonder if the house was initially cleaned out by family, friends or some charity with regards to the things left behind. It’s unusual that the house hasn’t been sold off unless the land it’s on is part of a larger parcel that’s still in the family as a farm. The house had its last makeover in the early 1970’s judging by the lampshades, though the shower cubicle is more 1980’s. Great explore & walkthru, I would have been nervous going thru all that grass in this heat due to snakes.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Timareskog2418 :-) The property was sold after 2000 so it seems who ever purchased it has just purchased for investment or it came with a larger parcel of farmland when sold. Family may have somehow not seen the photos stashed away in a cupboard somewhere or perhaps they were left in the home as a memorial. Cheers for watching :-)

They learned the value of saving so that even when things normalized, they and their family would never have to worry like that again. My grandparents did the same, but they were boring - they used banks and investment accounts. 😂

Another great explore. The internal styling is classic. The house appears to be very solid with little damage, even day to day wear such as stains and scuff marks appear minimal. Would make an excellent project home without requiring extensive renovations. Would definitely be keeping the IXL oven and refurbishing the leather chairs. Thanks again Paul and the Frightened Explorer.👍👍🇦🇺

What a sweet little house. Looks like it was well loved by someone in its lifetime. Love all the ORIGIONAL paint colours on the walls. And the incredible sideboard in that front room. My grand ma who raised me had a wardrobe and dressing table like the one in the ladies bedroom. I think it still looks amazing. Such a shame it's all just been forgotten about. The font room lounge suite is cool too. The left behind old photos of the weddings and things is what hurts me. I have my grandparents and great grand parents wedding photos. After they all died noone wanted them. But I did and I saved the lot of them. They are hanging up in the main hall of my house. And my 2 sons love asking about the photos. I tell them as much as I can. I hope that one of them will look after them when I'm gone.

I would feel compelled to put the photos back in the albums. The albums back in the cupboard. I’d want to restage the rooms by making it look like I thought she had it. It’s so sad that her beautiful old pix and furniture are just left to rot. Isn’t there a museum or somewhere you could take them to be conserved for future people to see and marvel at? The old amber light fixture in the lean-to bedroom and the turquoise one in the hallway entryway. I wish there was a way those things could be preserved for future generations to see. I wouldn’t be interested in them being sold for anyone to profit on. But just cared for. Like that gorgeous old sewing machine in your intro. And those old newspapers heralding Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, especially since she just died. I wouldn’t ever want to steal and keep anything found on an exploration. Just put into a situation where they’re cared for and loved. Have you ever thought of starting something like that?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Pamela, I hear what you are saying and there have be a couple of homes in Adelaide that were in the process of demolition where I did save photos and old documents. One lot has been returned to relatives and one I am still trying. With these country ones there is always a possibility a relative may return to look or retrieve things and these country ones are never in danger of demolition but they do get left to rot away.

Always makes me sad to see old photos and furniture etc, still in good nick not taken care of by relatives. Also that lovely old home could very easily be cleaned up and rented out or sold. We are all aware of the housing crisis, these livable homes should be used and loved again by someone who would love a roof over their heads! Absolutely loved the explore, the tongue and groove interior is amazing and the entire house is in really good nick! My husband passed away in 2012 and he never had a bank card to use at ATMs, he had a bank book and did all his transactions there. I am not sure if bank books are even used any more. Almost forgot, really loved the kitchen, especially the old wood burning stove. The cupboards need removing and something more cottagey put in, also loved the fireplaces in the other rooms.

The fake brick was very popular in the 1970s.

The fake brick cladding did not stand the test of time and many homes would've stayed nicer in the original weatherboard.
