Huge Edwardian Farmhouse full of stuff and sheds/They just gave up and now the pigeons own it

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

A shame this house is no longer cared for 😢 . It would have played host to so many family chats, games nights (board games) and much more. Keep on making awesome content my friend and ignore the armchair lawyers 😍 💯

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Drew :-) Cheers mate, yep this old place would hold many memories from a few generations back in the day no doubt. The pigeons can squabble about squatters rights now :-)

[@greyhairedphantom4038]

I have lived and worked in the building industry all my life in SA. Unfortunately, you see well-built beautiful old homes like this one often abandoned. Usually, the better farming land was on reactive soil. Thus, you see huge homes like this one. Reactive soil causes constant and ongoing damage to them. Eventually, they reach a stage that the damage goes beyond viability. It's a shame to see those lead light windows left to rot. Great video mate

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi greyhairedphantom4038 :-) I agree with your comments for sure. A catch 22 for a very grand old home. Adelaide metropolitan is built on reactive clay soil which accounts for Adelaide stone built homes having the most walls cracks in Australia :-)

[@ginger-rr5qn]

What do you mean by reactive soil? And what kind of damage does reactive soil do to a home? Is that why there are often huge cracks that go through a wall or two in some of these old homes? I am from the US and I’ve never heard the term reactive soil- unless you mean soil that is radioactive? Or soil that has been compromised by pesticides used by the farmers? I know that is five questions in a row but I am curious. Lol!

[@bronwyn6415]

@@ginger-rr5qn Clay soil is not contaminated in any way, there is just a lot of shrinkage when it dries out and swelling when wet in winter so therefore the old homes foundations can't cope with the movement and cracks appear. Hope that makes it a bit clearer. New home a now built on a cement slab which seems to have solved the problem mostly.

Oh Paul! I don’t know what’s more painful for me to see, a beautiful old home filled with remnants of peoples lives, left to rot, or one that’s been emptied, then stripped of all its decorative pieces and eventually demolished. The owners of the home should at least allow an expert to remove all the gorgeous lead lights and take them away. Why wait for an unhappy soul to shatter them, to fulfill their need to destroy beautiful art. So sad, so very sad. Thanks again for sharing. ❤️

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

Watching it again tells me that the person who lived there had links to Scotland. The LP of The Grenadier Guards and the Royal Scots Dragoons and others underneath it, plus the Scottish shortbread biscuit tin next to the largest fireplace. Those may have been tartan tins on the floor of the hallway as you left that room.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Great observations LWF :-) And there was a Dr Pat tobacco tin also! :-)

[@ludercoarms]

What an absolute beauty that home must have been when lived in. It looks as though the last folks who lived there left behind many things, and then more stuff was added afterward. But from the way the VHS player, tapes, cassettes, and a few CD's were stored as though left by the last folks, I would say it was last lived in in the early 1990's, just at the dawn of the CD, but before the DVD. Anyway, thanks for another great explore!!!

[@brucejensen3081]

The energy saving lights in the first room suggest it still had power connected in the early 2000's. Few things from that period. Probably an old person lived there that couldn't keep it maintained and was in disrepair when they moved out

[@JudithGolding]

Without a really good filter mask and gloves, it was prudent not to move stuff around and disturb surfaces. Such conditions make it hard to see what kind of books and music helped pass the time after hard work. It lets us get some sense of the people. The large set of hardback Reader's Digest was the rare clue. Other than those ceilings you noted, it doesn't look like this one has been changed much from its origins. I imagine I could magically clean all the surfaces and be transported to the early 1900's. Thanks again for the time travel!

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

This one has me confused! As you walked towards the front the roof looked almost new, although could see the large cracks in the walls. A lot of those beautiful windows are intact, so when you got inside I wasn't prepared for the amount of bird damage. Wonder if they fixed the roof after years of it being open to the elements? Loved the three fireplaces and this would have been quite classy when it was built.

[@brujonpatrick4779]

These places could be sold off to people who may never get into the housing market (dodgy market anyway) now people who may be be into an alternate lifestyle, wow they can grow anything (and probably will). This joint is not far off being liveable, probably as good as some people are renting. Keep in mind that somebody owns this joint, eg; a family trust fund and or disgruntled relatives who missed out on the whole inheritance. The local council knows who owns these places and collect the rates, although it is in the middle of nowhere it is in a local council jurisdiction so rates are being paid, if not it would have been sold years ago. Thankyou Paul great show, being an old guy that travelled most eastern states of Australia (Vic, NSW, QLD, some SA) as a country representative from the 70’s to 2011 notice many places like this in my years. Bruce.

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

@@brujonpatrick4779 I agree that it is a shame to see so many of these lovely places deteriorate, while some of them could be made good. Not so sure about this one though, as there a lot of wall problems in multiple places. I wonder if the relative(s) who now own the house have tried to sort some of it out to stop any further damage. I am convinced the roof has been sorted after the pigeon damage as there doesn't seem to be any birds living there now. The original owner may have moved out either through illness or age and nobody was in a position to sort it out while still alive. A lot of these old houses probably have similar sad stories and if Australia is anything like the UK, it takes solicitors forever and a day to sort out even with a will. If the person died intestate it can take years here (very lucrative business for the legal 'profession') to make sure who the beneficiaries are and they are in no hurry. Another thing to consider is that this one would take a lot of money to make it habitable (if the walls can be made good) and someone who would dream of living there may not be able to afford to make it structurally safe. P.S. I stand corrected - have just watched again and missed the pigeon in the loft space the first time!

Great commentary Paul. A beautifully built old home. I like it better when it's not filled with junk and all the modern rubbish. I suppose it gives you a timeline of its history though.

This one is hard to pick. I know some farmers that have the old house but again due to the cracking of the walls they turn it into storage and build a new one. But this looks different. It has the dish on the roof so that says it's only probably since the late 1990's to 2000's that this has been abandoned but the bird poo and inside roof say different.

Inside that last shed and pen, It was a chicken coop. there was a dirty orange bird feeder to your right as you walked in. low to the ground.

Bit a spit and polish, DIY, and a lick of paint, she will be restored to her former grand old self.

I'm sure it was at one time a beautiful home. It looked like an older man lived there, maybe in hopes of fixing it up some day, but became a pack rat. Beautiful stained glass and fireplaces and a lot of bird poo on top of everything. I agree it takes decades to reach that level of poo.

I've still got a crock pot, and I still use it .

How did you miss the rifle in the first shed after the house and that's not the original roofing over the house the corrugated metal what it looks like to me as someone tried to go in there and tried to renovate and realized it was just too much they put the corrugated roof over the house they put the new metal tiles on the roof on the shed because you noticed there's a lot of nails and roofing and all kinds of material and you went back into the house noticed the replace ceiling but you didn't notice the fluorescent light up in that replace ceiling and the corrugated roof over the house because you didn't noticed the wood up above does not match the rod and decay of the rest of the building

There was a gun in the shed

Just the stock, not a complete one.

Rifle ( gun) on table at 39.00. You missed it?

You always ask what was is this homes history why has it been abandoned. When I travelled through SA a few years back there were so many homes like this. Was the harsh weather extremes a lot to do with the amount of abandonment???? Who knows.

[@paulsimmons4240]

Broad acre faring happened. Machinery got bigger and farms got bigger, so the land was bought by neighbours or other farms and the houses on the land weren't needed anymore. Due to this the towns shrunk in size , the population shrunk, sports teams can no longer exist, sometimes the pubs and the shops close. Its the end of an era.

[@urbexindigo5164]

The best summary I have seen yet mate. Cheers mate. This happened to the area I grew up in in rural Victoria also. It was a thriving areas with lots of community teams and activities then it really shrunk in the 90`s and beyond.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Paul summed it up perfectly :-)

[@paulsimmons4240]

@@urbexindigo5164 Cheers. I currently live in South West Vic. I often drive through towns with nothing left. Beautiful Churches, sportsgrounds and nothing else. I will then look at the War Memorial and think "wow. 100 guys went from here." I suppose the Victorian weatherboard homes were also burnt in a couple of big fires that Victoria had..Im from S.A and i suppose limestone homes could be rebuilt. Love your show and hopefully you can visit Eyre Peninsula and do some filming out there.

Its a real shame those leadlight window are left to rot and there is a beautiful fireplace in the house to .if there going to rot what a shame someone cant buy them or use in a renovation of a old house .

[@YtGad7000]

I get really concerned you don't wear suitable masks and gloves whilst in the old homes the pidgeons have taken over and been pooping for years! I know people get bad lung conditions down the track from inhaling the dust from old poo. Please consider wearing a suitable mask so you don't have any nasty illness later in life. Great explore of another grand old house , l have never seen an old clothes dryer like that before, very interesting to see.🦘🇦🇺🥺😊

Seems to be more like a deceased estate then anything else. What an absolute shame though
