So sad. Something happened to this family and its so sad to see how others have treated it. I agree with Colin that ransacking and destroying the items and property are so unnecessary! I have watched many of your videos and I have been completely impressed with how respectful you all are of the homes and properties that you explore. There must be someone who knows the backstory, lets hope they see this and step forward.

[@lickopotamusslurperton1944]

The most upsetting discovery was the photographs of their family getting left behind. Many families who lose all their possessions in a house fire or other terrible circumstance often say: "Well we can replace the furniture - but we can't replace those memories". It was quite emotional to see that.

[@johnlong3214]

@14:48 As you get the feeling it may have been around Christmas time you show what looks like a child's advent calendar. Shame you didn't check, it may have given you the exact day of the month. And one of the best things to check for a date would have been the milk in the fridge.👍

[@mayadegodoy]

I can only imagine that, if in 2016/2018 there were children in this house, they would not even be adults now! All those memories left behind, so much evidence of possible fun...

[@martinsallenger5526]

Hi Colin what a amazing place,can't believe they literally left nearly everything,love to know the reason why the family abandoned this lovely house,great explor thanks for sharing

[@grahamx8623]

Very sad. Loads of compassion. Thanks

[@petraesterhuizen6406]

A sense of tragedy here. The one room seemed to be that of twins, a boy and girl. I'm loving your explorations, binge watching while I can.

[@user-fg8dg4qi3w]

This is such a shame that people have to destroy other people's property even though the places are abandoned, your very respectful, thank you for a fantastic video

[@80sexplorer]

I very rarely comment on KZbin videos, but I had to today, I've watched a lot of KZbin explorers, but I find you to be the most respectful of all when exploring people's properties and telling the sad stories...this is why I had to comment and subscribe to your channel, well done and merry Christmas to you.

[@MrVxrman]

A good explore Colin 😎 I bet that house and gardens looked stunning years ago. All the best. 🤗🍻👍🏻

[@meganpaull6140]

Beautiful house, feels so sad you ask yourself why? The kids play equipment was very cool. All the family memories just left behind, what happened it would be good to get history behind the house.

[@johnrogers2826]

Well, someone has to know some information on this place. There's no way this can be such a mystery.

[@movinon1242]

It would take 15 minutes to find out who lives there with the address and the appropriate website or government records office.

[@Andy-uf8jq]

@@movinon1242 no it wouldnt. In the UK you can't just get someones details from their address unless they've chosen open register.

[@TruthTortoise81]

Found the mansion on rightmove, someone payed £1,850,000 for it in 2003. It was listed for sale again in 2015, house and grounds were well kept and and in goof condition at that time. Probably a £4 million pound property left to ruin. Irish owner of the property born 1958 had a large railway construction business which went bankrupt in 2013.

[@laceysmith4779]

Where is it? I wondered whether its one I've seen near maidenhead

[@MM168NSX]

Can you link the property?

[@KayleighCoulstonExplores]

Great video! I went here recently, such a stunning location to film. Keep up the amazing work!🤟🏼 x

[@raeannuria5691]

Thank You for another great vid! It’s so sad that people come in and trash such a beautiful home!

[@TheExStig]

Can't believe you didn't look at those Xmas cards, they would have said..."and all the best for ****(year)". Would have nailed the exact time it was abandoned.

[@tonybutt5764]

" wow " what a find love to no the story behind this one thanks for sharing catch you on the next one my friend 😀

[@iambloater]

Great explore Mr Beard - as I have said before, these places are just fascinating and the missing piece of you documenting them is to share the story behind them - but that’s assuming you are able to find out what happened 🤷‍♂️🤔👍

[@wonderqueerTT]

I saw Finders Beepers History Seekers here not so long ago but you go into much more depth than they do, it was good to see this place again

[@paulillingworth1242]

interesting vid as always … a sense of joy in its past life and a feeling of sorrow seeing such places sat to rot and forgotten…

[@alasdairvincent6248]

Wow! I can’t believe that a mansion house like this has been left abandoned. What a find, with so many lovely items left behind.I hope that it doesn’t get discovered by the wrong people who will loot and trash it. The wine alone, would be worth a lot of money.I would love to know the back story to this one. It has been a beautiful place in its day.A fantastic video, thanks for showing us round.

[@gavstenhouse8857]

What a fascinating house would love to know what the story is behind this house and how it’s been left abandoned for so long Another amazing video Colin 👍 and the obligatory fridge opening at the end 🤮🤮

[@sugarsundae3400]

I've seen this place online before but not such a detailed explore as yours i hadn't seen the out buildings before so that was nice to see. Strange that the family left everything including thier clothes 🤔

[@robertmustard1711]

Great explore mate

[@crazyjade98]

It’s so sad to see a house like that, it does make you wonder what happened.

[@jaysouljohnson5150]

That fridge though!! Lol So curious....Id love an update with info!

[@sharonlegg85]

If only we knew the story behind this sad and decaying house. Another great video xx

[@martinevans1256]

Wow what a find so much stuff be great to know what happened to them

[@frankforrest1597]

Another great explore. I wonder of the story behind the abandonment of this house, like so many others. I know that some in my family would be at a great loss without their gaming systems or other cherished items for that matter. It saddens me to see a once thriving home/ household trashed, forgotten and left to rot and decay. I guess that we viewers will never know the full story on this one and so many others. Be safe and well, Cheers from the States

[@RetroRob4]

What a find , such a shame , could be awesome done up, Would love to know the story about it..👍👍

[@stuarthall6631]

This house would not have been abandoned this untidy. It has obviously been visited many times since by people with little respect for the property. I wonder, therefore, why so much alcohol has been left behind?

[@pugz16v]

Thanks for the upload another great explore.

[@matts7676]

Watched a load of your videos , but this one really made ya think what happened to make them abandon what would of been such a lovely family home, and leave it full….interested to find out the back story!

[@johncoldwell340]

Look like they were probably growing weed in the garden building

[@roomullan3050]

It’s all on The abandoned world explorers video

[@exploringwithsj6847]

I could be wrong but when we did this explore, im sure it had something to do with tax fraud but im not 100% on this.

[@RealJefsteticsWorld]

Absolutely stunning location once again brother!!

[@johndix6101]

Great video again. You should tell us the story of the house you mentioned so we get an idea why these get left abandoned

[@CusterUK1]

At 12:26 the gas meter and electric meter that you see are pre-payment meters ie you go to the shop or pay point hand your gas card\key over and tell them how much you want added. These meters are mostly put in by Utility suppliers because the customer can't afford a quarterly bill or has a debt due to none payment of bills. The family that lived in the house were probably evicted due to debts

[@mynx369]

I saw another video from this location and the place looked very nice because the crazy people hadn’t been there to completely ransack it yet!! BUT, the hair on the floor in the loft bedroom was already there! It’s sad to see how quickly this place went downhill due to disrespectful people going in and destroying everything in their path!! Great video though, I really enjoyed it!🥰💖💖💖

[@FRFRANKIE]

That was one really good video, I liked it. It's a shame everything was left behind. Take care and stay safe. Happy Christmas.

[@lynneedwards9704]

This house would have been amazing. I am so intrigued as to why every was left. Would love to know. Great explore. Thanks ❤️

[@mrstanhope1516]

Like a surreal episode of through the keyhole. Whoever lived there must have left in a hurry but why?

[@no-oc3el]

From the argentine, thanks for waching. Los vemos muy seguido y es bárbaro todos los videos

[@malhanneera]

Wow! Those were the days🙏

[@brendakrieger7000]

OMG what a shame! Amazing find❤💚

[@huwjones5879]

One thing for sure, they all had Nits!

[@patriciayoung3267]

This was an interesting explore. What a facinating house. I'm sure there is a story here, but we will never get to know it. One question, for an obviously intelligent man - why do you have to open old fridges? The results are never good. LOL

[@TruthTortoise81]

25:13 Hard Brexit threat to €5 pension hike - Independent newspaper (Ireland) 6 Jul 2019. The owners of the house were an Irish family. The house had not been vacant for very long at all! It all points to some kind of mid-life crisis. A bankruptcy, possibly a family break-up. Somebody who perhaps came from humble beginnings, probably never went to university (not many books around) but never the less built a successful business empire in construction. Unfortunately they took big risk in business which ultimately did not pay off and probably also lived beyond their means. Alcohol may have been big a factor. "Normal" drinkers just don't have that much booze lying around even if they are rich.

[@johnmiller1300]

Top job lads.

[@exploringwithsj6847]

This house was crazy so odd as well when we went, good video guys.

[@jarcs13]

Watched this about 20 times now, I love it. I recon they had a few MASSIVE grow ops in the OSB sheds prior to departure. With that size, we're looking at about 4,000 pots so a major operation

[@karenwright4587]

I bet back in the day that house was awesome 👌 shame its been ransacked I wonder what happened thanks for sharing take care my friend ❤ xx

[@clairesims7275]

That was incredibly strange, why was that house left by the occupiers so suddenly? It could be to do with debt or god forbid something happened to the family. Sad seeing it like that as you can see it was once beautiful. Great find, fab explore 🌹

[@suzyhornsby1411]

Excellent video colin,what a beautiful house,sad thing it was a home.i was gagging with you when you opened the fridge lol.keep safe on your journeys.

[@mattyGreenbaum]

Another great explorer fella, had to wait for Lauren to come home from winter camp to watch it, Lauren said you were brave as it was night time 🦄🦁🐶🐼🐇

[@John-oy8nj]

Loved to know the story of what happened here.

[@paulwilliams8725]

Great stuff 👍

[@kingcal1991]

Definitely looks like it was abandoned in the mid 00’s and someone had been squatting at some point (in the room with the hair) explaining the newer items kicking about

[@snbala]

Amazing find, how this place can be abandoned, I don’t know.

[@briansweeney2291]

Another epic video Colin 😎 now time to walk bk through the pitch black forest 😂👍😎

[@thenanlife1141]

Just come across your channel .. So interesting and amazing what properties you explore .. love to know the circumstances that leave people completely abandoning their properties .. I’m sure most people left in a hurry😮😮

[@rontanser9369]

That really was unbelievable how much stuff is in that house, how big the house was And it would be very interesting to know why the occupants just suddenly disappeared that the look of it

[@StraightOuttaUrbex]

We did this couple months ago and got busted good work Colin

[@stevebandit1964]

Whenever I see these empty properties I just want to know, how, why, and who ?? Always totally fascinating.. 🤔

[@badtimmymagic3896]

From what I could find out the Dad who owned the house had a couple of companys that went into administration and he lost everything.

[@terri8192]

So sad that he built successful businesses and then lost them😢

[@decayuk1317]

They went bankrupt, then started new companies but used the old name without permission from courts making themselves personally liable for company debt, 8 kids, several had grown up and left home, two were already at boarding school in Ireland as they were trying to move back there. Also doesn't appear abandoned anymore, this must be at least a month old, gardening work has started and trespassing signs put up

[@barondugger]

Any idea what the property was worth? Is worth now? It'd be interesting to know.

[@TheAnonyy]

By being bankrupt does it mean they agree given no notice to leave?

[@juanitaduval9856]

Thank you for the info Decay UK

[@TruthTortoise81]

25:13 Newspaper in attic room headline "Hard Brexit threat to €5 pension hike" - Irish Independent 6 Jul 2019. I'm not even sure it was ever truly "abandoned" as the owners must have been there as recently as 2 years ago. Looks more like squatters moved in and trashed the place.

[@TruthTortoise81]

@@barondugger About £4 million according to rightmove. It's in a leafy part of the south-east.

[@exploringwithforsythphotog4467]

Awesome idea mate 👍

[@marklittler784]

Personally I think its a good idea for extra insulation to fit cupboards inside to outside walls, rather than the inside ones either side of fire places in victorian houses.

In a big posh house like that and they had key electric 🤔 another brilliant video bud keep them coming 👌👍

[@onepunchmicky4684]

Videos are wicked keep them coming

[@marklittler784]

The victorian lime plastered walls let the house breath they absorb mosture in the air when there's too much and give it out when there's too little so better for health. You can salvage bricks in one piece when they were used with lime mortar unlike todays built with cement mortar.

[@jazminblackwood5478]

There are names of the children everywhere, and cards, dates and photos. There are so many things you could use to identify the family and find out what happened. Whatever happened it definitely wasn't by choice. That family were forced to leave, maybe even fled. The hair on the floor makes me think they don't want to look recognizable. Truly breaks my heart, I want to know if they are alive 😭

[@sarahm6264]

It looked like there was blonde hair at the bottom of the stairs too. So sad 😞
