Manor “funky wallpaper” Farmhouse,Runcorn,Nov 2011

[Kevsy21]

[CENTER]What a fine house this must have been its heyday, it’s set over 3 floors with each floor containing plenty of rooms. It has at least 6/7 bedrooms on the upper floors and a large conservatory on the rear of the property.
There are outbuildings to the side and evidence of a shop being there at sometime. It’s set in acres of land with an orchard, it’s a shame to see such a grand place rotting away.To the rear is an old tip which

Georgie pointed out a old tip behind it with old pottery and bottles evident.
Surprisely unable to find any info on the place, although I get the impression it was a business on some point.Would love to know the history of this place.
By the look of the lovely eye catching wallpaper :eek: it has been empty quite a few years.

Since we were closeby we decided to take a look,tbh it wasnt bad at all.There is evidence there was people living rough here at some point.

The highlight was the retro wallpaper:)

Visited with the "Man with no name" Aka Georgie
