The Background
Unfortunately not been able to find out much about this place ... next to nothing in fact.
It is a 5 bedroomed Farmhouse with various outbuildings and a badly fire damaged large
barn. One bit of info I did find is that it used to be a dairy farm. It has been on the market
for £325,000.00.
The land belonging to the farm is some 11 acres.
Evilnoodle's guess in Roosters Report (http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php/10747-Great-Oak-Farm-Oaks-Lane-Bolton-Dec-2010) that someone disabled may
well have lived here seems to be correct as some of my images will show.
The house is actually in pretty good condition.
Only clue I found as to date of vacation is a sticker on one of the hoistey things
stating that it had been tested Jan 2006 - so not all that long ago.
The Visit
A solo visit, another of my fairly spur of the moment decisions. It's not a long drive for me so was
there in no time. It's in a lovely area with countryside all around.

Looks like the pikeys had a go at the fireplace and once they broke it realised it wouldn't
fetch anything.

all in all a nice little relaxed mooch ... aside from a dog walker walking right up to
the front door as I was in the 1st living room just off that door and her dog walking
past the door ..carrying on then turning around and walking back. couldn't
believe it didn't see me.
But yes a nice easy and relaxed one this.
Thanks for looking :ty
