We Found an ABANDONED 300 year old Mansion - The end of a Family Farm

[@paulvamos7319]

The antics you, your brother Ned and Ed who could be your uncle get up to is fun and entertaining of itself! Thank you for the tour. I'm glad you didn't go out on the thatch, you don't know how well it would hold you! Gutted you didn't get in the other bit but, not gutted enough to want you to do stupid stuff. Thank you!

[@tompayne9790]

This old cottage is called Ankers Farm house. I worked on it about 16 years ago when it was occupied. Its part of the near by conholt estate which was owned at the time by a Dutch family who own the calor gas company.

[@VacantHaven]

Thanks Tom for that info, I have nothing but respect for the place. Very interesting history there, and a lovely old property. Hope it gets some TLC

[@nicolad8822]

And now apparently by an American billionaire investment manager who bought it for £80m in 2022.

[@Trish1]

What a fabulous old house - in amazing condition considering it’s 300yrs old! Weird about the sealed door …. wonder what’s in there?! Great video Alex 👍👍

[@VacantHaven]

I'm gonna keep an eye on it Trish, and hopefully we shall see! 😉👍👍👍

[@Dinkum_Aussie]

Damn! I missed the Premiere, great video of a very historic old Tudor farm house. Nice work Alex, Ned and Edd! 😎👍

[@VacantHaven]

No worries Dinkum 👍 glad you enjoyed that one mate, hope you're good 👍

[@nicolad8822]

Since when has 1719 been Tudor?

[@joselamers7964]

always nice those old houses and mystyrie the other side of it ,😊👍

[@demimorris8817]

Just love these videos it's just so sad to even begin to think what happened to the people that .they decided to leave this empire being I get it done pass on .but is no family still alive .such a beautiful home once much loved .what a home this could be so sad

[@WyeExplorer]

A decent property all round. Yeah, it looks equestrian and looking after horses aint cheap is it? 1719 though? Maan, the things that house has seen in its time. It's just the kind of place I'd doss in on a hike. Thanks for sharing. Mark

[@scarletmontana7]

What a lovey old house and stables, I hope it can be given to a young couple just starting out who can give it some much needed TLC. Thank you for sharing

[@hahomy]

Great video Alex really enjoyed that, lovely old farm house, shame it's another lost just sitting there rotting away, thanks for sharing 👍 keep up the good work 👍 brilliant video, great team too luv ed and Ned 👍

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Halyey yeah it's a shame that this place had to be left, another Farmhouse bites the dust 😬

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎🌎

[@brendagilliland5602]

What an amazing house for its age its really good condition, pmsl at ed with the whip kinky bugger 😂😂😂😂 , it's been a great find stay safe guys ❤

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Alex, Ned & Ed, you should go back with a screwdriver to see what's under those floorboards. Check the 1st stair board on any stairs to see if it lifts up as people used to hide stuff under them. Such a great find, 300 years old, imagine all the history that place has seen. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰

[@philquadra]

Very nice house. Thanks for respecting the sealed section and not breaking in.

[@kathpayne4364]

Wow that would have been a beautiful place to live in its day. That fireplace was huge. Wonder what's in the other side? Thanks Alex, Ned and Ed.. Great explore.

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Kath, maybe we will find out one day what's inside? Keep your eyes peeled 😁 👍

[@kathpayne4364]

@@VacantHaven hope so... Intriguing 🤔🤔

[@cnull2422]

Love the old farms with horse stables (I'm a horse owner in the USA). Why don't you carry an all-in-one tool so you can unscrew doors or pull out nails? Love how gutsy Ed is!!! He always goes first and just barges in.

[@VacantHaven]

Thanks for checking us out and commenting! Trespass here only becomes criminal once you force entry. So best not to 😁👍

[@conniejohnson290]

I love your videos! I love watching Ed and Ned with you. I'd love to have that farm. I love the kitchen. Great video!

[@normanfletcher8332]

300 Years old? House is Gorgeous. Sad that one door is locked..

[@Lyngypsy2112]

Another great explore guys....👍 What a shame this poor house is now void of all human existence, which is what keeps places alive. I wonder how long it will be before it's totally trashed like so many other buildings tucked away + hidden from sight...😢😞

[@shanecavanagh7060]

Wow they did a Job Cleaning the house out….. I wonder would it be heritage listed….. thanks for sharing✨💕

Thanks Martin 😁 👍

I’m new well about 6 to 8weeks looked at lots you have put on I’m hooked great find you guys take care and thanks I’m really enjoying the blogs you are doing 👍😘

[@JDH_MUSIC]

Fascinating mixture of old and new parts - especially on the brick wall, you can see 300 year old parts, and then parts that were later strengthened with brick.

[@carolynhollingworth4082]

What a great find.Shame its just been left.x

[@gersonhay984]

The Family had some good standings in that area. Very nice land. Good respect.

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Terrific old place , in very good nick for its age, shame the one bit was closed off , but thats the luck of the draw . Thanks to all of you for making a very interesting and keeping it to your high standard . Till next time , Stuart in Canada ..

[@DJ-Brownie-UK]

14:11 upon discovering some obvious modern 80/90s light fittings "Yeah ,look at these old lights that Ned just pointed out" 🤣🤣🤣 yeah proper antiques there fella 🙄🤤🤤

Wonderful old house. I want that house. I wish very much that you had closed the bedroom window. Thank you for the great video and taking risks to show us your interesting finds. 💖💖

[@janicesperry7780]

Wow loved this old home...thanks for sharing it with us. Great explore and you guys made me laugh as usual.

You're welcome Janice! Glad we gave you a chuckle, I bet it was Eddie with the whip 🤔

[@gennien1bottle]

Another great explore! 300 years still standing, they could really make them well then! Would love to live there! Thanks for sharing! Always a good time with the VH crew!

[@maverickflint1991]

There are not alot of places like the places you guys explore here in the US and thank you guys for showing me those places there.😊👍❤️

Big property! House pretty airtight. Thanks for the video!

[@clarepartrick1066]

That was a really good explore a pity you couldn’t get access to the other part of the house, certainly has got potential if it is in keeping with the house.Look forward to the next find.👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@kerryjacobson5465]

300+ years old! I wonder how many generations of the original family lived there! Fine old home, for it's age! Thanks for the explore!

[@VacantHaven]

You're welcome! A long run in generations of Farmers, sadly come to an end. Very sad.

[@carolinegeorge5945]

Awesome place to live in its day! I would love to live there. Thanks Alex, Ned and Ed 🙂Great Explore, shame about the other side of the farmhouse.

It's Joe in Alabama again , couldn't wait to watch the video when I got the notification. I love you guys. Thanks for your hard work and effort. How would I go about getting an autograph from the gang ? I'd love to have one.

[@VacantHaven]

If you email at [e-mail] Joe. Thanks for your kind words 👍

[@nannyofmany8315]

How on Earth do you find these fascinating places. Looks like someone was hiring one of the outbuildings or a small local farm cooperative hired the outbuilding as a commercial enterprise. I like that idea! The old thatch in incredibly good condition. Pompeye looks tooooo comfortable with that lungeing whip. Blimey. Those blue and white tiles in the kitchen were just WRONG. What a shame the rest of the house was inaccessible. 300 years of history there. Lovely lovely lovely. SPOOKY THO lol 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for taking all of us along. 💜🤗💙🥰😊😊

[@VacantHaven]

Far too comfortable around a whip, I'm learning new things out about Pompeye every week lol. Thanks for watching and supporting as always Nanny, stay safe 😁👍👍👍

It was the top of Ed’s cap, freeze the pic at the time you think you see the lady & zoom in, you can clearly see it’s his head & cap.

I really like this place you guys are at right now and would give $15,000 US dollars to whoever owns it to buy it. The place needs alot of work.😊👍

[@kimberlybates6261]

Be awesome if someone bought it and gave it new life.

[@roomullan3050]

Wow, what a fabulous place. It must have been divided for two families to share. What a shame that it’s had zero cash / maintenance on it in years. They have let it run down and now needs thousands spending

[@annlyon144]

Run down ? After all these years. I think it’s just beautiful. 😊

Hi Alex, what is the piece of music that you play at the end of all your videos please ?? thanks

from what I've seen bathrooms in the UK are far more extravagant than in the US

Like my old home but my home was smaller It looked beauiful done up by me and ex husband

Hi not sure what i caught at 3 mins 13 seconds watch from where vacant haven said Look here guys the farm house, when he gets level with the opening some one darts out of the building and goes towards the bus if you get to hims saying it;s even got a thatched roof you just missed it someone in white leaves the farm house and walks off.

[@VacantHaven]

I think I saw what you mean, I think it I'd the seed head of a weed growing from the wall? I could be wrong, but it took me a while to figure that out.......creepy

[@KatherineD0506]

@@VacantHaven Glad I was not going mad and seeing things. Even if it was a weed lol

Does anyone know are the younger boys related I see mentions to some times but not sure ?

That was a WWII era plane which still had American air corps emblems on its sides. It was a P63 King Cobra. If you look it up on WIKI it shows the exact same plane. JS.

New Zealand has got like that. All the rural property just outside townships 😢 absolutely no chance for any normal working people to buy because they just do auctions and bids go high immediately to offshore buyers with caretakers living in New Zealand handling the rental on them. So sad and wrong. Many of the properties stay empty. Land banks.😢
