Report - Abandoned House near Tavistock, Devon, May 2018

[Provingdemons]

truth is this house is such a gem, I don't think the post code should be given out, only a few amount of people know of it, and I never want to see it get destroyed even more, sealed up any tighter, or anything stolen from inside. just my 2 cents. this place is my all time favourite explore hands down.

Its not really a gem at all, its already been ransacked, daubed with sh1t tagging (and fake blood....).

Simple rule on here, full location should be given, no code-names / vague descriptions.

If that bothered about it, don't post it on a public site.

Managed to get to this one today. Very grateful to DrGonzo for the heads up on this one. Has been posted before recently.

Amazing views from this house of the Tamar Valley. You have the main house and one large outbuilding split into 3 sections. The rooms in the house are good size, even the loft is a large space if converted.

Been empty since 2011. It’s a pity you don’t know the reason it’s empty. So many photos in the house, a lot dated 1991/92 of them doing up the house and building up the out buildings. I can only assume this is when they brought the house. Pictures of inside the house looking tidy, loved and lived in. Maybe someone died, moved had no will? Who knows.

Without giving to much away they were called Terry and Anne. From early photos must of been in there 50’s. Anne was artistic, a room upstairs as an art room, and in the outbuilding a pottery room with oven kilns and turntable.

When we first walked in was greeted with a knife stuck in the stool and what looked a lot like blood.

Had lots more photos but only lets you attach 30.

Blood?

Hi perrie96 you are going to find it hard finding out locations when you haven’t shared any posts, this is a great place to explore and people want to keep it like that, it’s out of the way too so not been overly trashed yet

I visited here again 2 days ago as I was near to see how the place is since my report. The garden is overgrown, a jungle getting through grass and stinging nettles. Access is still easy.

Much more vandalism sadly. People just emptying the shelves and dumping stuff over the floor. The floor used to be clear and clean. Now your walking all over stuff.

There is an urn of ashes which used to live in its pot in a bag in the corner with paperwork now just dumped on floor. Ashes intact but disrespectful.

And a few more tags of graffiti.

It myths me how something with so many personal items just stop! And then how you get so many shit bags trashing it. Sad to see a loved house forgotten and lots of worthless personal items that mean so much to someone get left!

Visited a few months back, its all boarded and alarmed, also looks like all the belongings inside have been burnt. In person you can see the toaster ect.

Did anyone ever research this place more throughly, I often wonder if some of these places had owners that passed away in national disasters like rail crashes etc where perhaps they died together.

They had family in America who was aware of the house but never in a hurry. Not sure who it was that has cleared all the belongings and emptied the house etc and then boarded up.

What happened to the owners then? Still sad as looked at all the lovely family pics on the wall.

They died sadly. I can’t remember if the Husband or Wife first, but there ashes along with Sons ashes where in the house until idiots disrespected them
