ABANDONED IN IRELAND: The Forgotten Mansion

Surrounded by it's vast overgrown demesne, this huge mansion lies, wasting away. The building itself was built around 1810, and has some of the most amazing architecture I've ever seen. The attention to detail is insane. So much stained glass and ornate decoration, I don't think that any house will ever be built to such an impressive standard ever again...
Music - "Murmuration (Pon IX)" by Kai Engel, "Cobweb Morning" by Kai Engel and "XX" by Jahzzar
[UPDATE - As of April 2020, the house is now a construction site.]
[UPDATE - As of January 2022, the house doesn't seem to have had activity for a while. The back of the house from the basement to the tower has collapsed, I imagine crushing some of the stained glass and definitely those doors at 4:15. There were supports put up in 2020 but they are not enough to stop this place from soon becoming just a few lonely walls surrounding a pile of rubble]

There was a mansion here where I live that was covered in green vines even worse than this one. I drove by it for 30 years most every day and thought why doesn't someone fix it up. One day ten or so years ago a local builder bought it and restored it to it's former glory. It is one of the top homes in my area now. In fact it might look better now than it did when new it is that amazing!

Really well done. Thank you for showing us the property itself. So many URBEX vids are basically video selfies. Yeah, I don't care about seeing some person's face the whole video and maybe catching a glimpse of the house over their shoulder if I'm lucky. You did it right!! For the record and to correct some of the comments already left, this is not a Georgian house. It is Gothic Revival. I'd peg it around 1840s at the very earliest but more likely 1860s. It has some definite Irish details to it. That idiot squawking that this house isn't in Ireland can shove off. Oh, and how would "lying" that it's in Ireland be "click bait" anyway?? I came to watch an URBEX vid. I didn't click because you said it was in Ireland. You could have said it was in the frigging Ukraine for all I care; I'd still have watched it. But hey, that fool apparently knows every single house in Ireland so we all stand corrected, right?

Beautiful house, late Georgian I would imagine. It hasn't been abandoned too long. I imagine it is in Limbo on account of a legacy issue. However, once upon a time you could live in a house like this and have cheap servants and gardeners. And have educated and civilised neighbours to meet and enjoy. Now that is not really possible, nor is there much sense of community in much of the countryside, unless you are old and traditional. Ireland has changed. It is very expensive to live here now and without staff, you don't enjoy much security. Consequently you dont feel safe and home insurance premiums are very high.

@earthman6700 4 жыл бұрын

@connoroleary591 4 жыл бұрын

@@earthman6700 yes it is very expensive here now, even food products made in Ireland are more expensive here than they are in the UK. Criminality is an issue, there are drug and gang problems that have spilled out into the countryside. There is an element of the travelling community who do seem to engage in criminality, but that is hardly surprising when you consider the abuse and discrimination they have endured over the past hundred years. We have litttle to offer in terms of value for money or climate. The government really needs to make Ireland a good destination for return visitors; not to exploit the naive and fleece them during their first and final visit.

Such houses cost an arm and 4 legs to renovate and to restore to it's former glory. Every square inch of walls. ceilings and decor inside and outside have to be attended to and restored authentically.

This style of architecture has lovely proportions, fine sized living space, lots of light and beautiful features. There's a background noise that you can hear on the outside of the house in some of the scenes. Is it a busy road or a river? I'm guessing a road. The first thing to fix is the roof to protect the property.
