How that man achieved fame and fortune is even more bizarre than the property itself.

I do not know who designed this house ,but his previous jobs must have been an underground station ,a bus depot and a hospital.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a property so grandiose yet lacking in any style, it reminds me of when people in plain old houses add big stone lions, ‘torch effect’ lamps and a massive oak door in the hope that it looks like a castle.

The home actually matches him perfect. in all areas. Size and personality.

If the local council built mansions....this would be it

As tacky as the bloke himself, reminds me of a 1960’s care home.

Some really creepy vibes about this place. It doesn’t look or feel anything like a home.

This house would drive me crazy. I find it really creepy.

some say you still hear his annoying laugh in the hallways to this day

James Corden bought this place when it was already abandoned, I don't think he has ever lived in it because he has been living in the USA for 8 years hosting a chat show, at any rate he got planning permission approved to demolish the whole lot and build a brand new six bedroomed house, so I think when he bought it he was interested in the land and the potential for a new house.

I visited this house some 20 yes ago how it's been left like this is unreal....the invite was from a person who looked after it while the owner was at there main residence

As a landscape gardener of 23 years ,this is just so sad this has been let go..😪

Omfg. I used to do some work here. I knew the gatekeepers. Lovely winding driveway. Decent views. Was nicer in its day. The kitchen was the same since I last visited.

Always amazes me how these mansions and stately homes that are abandoned, have connected free electricity without being cut-off and no one chasing you for the bills or standing charges? The tower in the grounds looked like it had an electric box?

I really don’t understand why the rich and famous just abandon these houses!! If they don’t want them any more why not sell or give them to someone who does. Letting them fall apart is an absolute waste!

This is a lot like the Flintstone house from the 1970s

What a ghastly house !! Shocking 😅

This is my favourite abandoned mansion, purely because it’s Corden’s and means he has left it to live in the US 👍

I sit and watch all these videos of these gorgeous homes just sitting abandoned rotting away when they could be used for all our homeless veterans that put their lives on the line for the freedom we have . Who more deserving of a beautiful place where they can find peace and the houses are so big that each veteran would have their own big rooms and private bathrooms 6o relax comfortably in.

A house with no heart to it - ghastly place !

I would never pay that much for a house that's more like a maze than living quarters! Very strange layout!

Big houses, mansions and castles always had a gate house at top of driveway/entrance to the property, where the ‘gatekeeper’ would live as his job was entry control.

The design of this house makes my feel unwell, its so trippy. I love it 😂

I'm guessing the reason why JC bought this place is for investment purposes. The amount of land that is with it would be a developers dream. Knock down the existing buildings, get planning permission for X amount of new houses. The average house price in the UK is £294,000. In London it's £524,000 (both prices sourced from UK House Price Index, March 2022, GOV.UK) Hold on to that land for another twenty years and the prices would most probably increase by 50%. Nice little nest egg to retire too or pass on to his children. Great video, thanks. You have a new subscriber.

Awful building, looks more like a health centre than a house. Criminal to leave it abandoned, a shocking waste.

What a depressing place. It reminds me of the"mansion" in 'Clockwork Orange'.

It looks like James Corden looks after houses about as well as he looks after himself.

I wouldn't live in this house if you paid me!

Looks more like a motel than a mansion. Certainly not 8.5 million

I didn’t think it could get worse until the kitchen 😅

It’s a disgrace for someone as well of as him to allow a property to turn to crap like this.

I assume Corden bought it with the intension of demolishing it and building a new mansion. He bought it for the land and didn't intend living in the building.

if you listen hard enough you can hear james screaming at the staff about his wife's egg white salad

The house looks like something out of the 1960's and was abandoned long before Corden bought it. The flat roof and lack of access to the garage from within the house had me scratching my head a little. surely it could have better designed if it was meant to be luxurious. Another glaring oddity was the ridiculous number of bathrooms, showers and toilets. Unless the original owner was doubly incontinent, or could this have been a Country club/Hotel and not a family home?

Some people just don’t deserve money if it’s disrespected like this. 😡😡

jesus christ, that's insane. im surprised people haven't stripped the metals and marble

The saddest thing is he's coming back to the UK 😢

Just starting to watch I love all the windows from outside it looks like it would be so bright and airy feeling inside

The question he gets asked is " Do you receive any income from UK based land or property ?" He can tick the "no " box having sunk a few million into something solid for later should it be needed , eg to fund an nose habit

A gate house is a house where the gate keeper who controlled entry to the estate via the gates on the avenue . It looks like that would have been the front fancy avunea entrance . I lived in one for years - a very happy place to live

Just to be clear, James Corden never lived here .. even though he made the purchase he didn't actually visit the house !!

Swimming pool was full until James jumped in.

It doesn't matter how rich some people are, it certainty doesn't give them taste. These million pound mansions are devoid of comfort and cosiness. I wouldn't live there even if it was free.😅

The beginning of this year this mansion was boarded up and set for demolition, not sure if they have already but it’s quite sad.

Can anyone imagine paying the property taxes and the water and sewer bill.🥴🥴🥴 Great find and thank you for the explore. Be safe on your adventures.

Amazing energy to you and to flow. Unlimited. Respect love and gratitude 🙏

The stone circle is amazing!

The local council can renovate these places for tourist accomodations and sight seeing ,Film industries also can find these places useful for staging films

Didn't think I could hate james corden anymore

Mansion? It's only a 3 bed property! Looks more like a badly designed 1980s care home from the exterior! It's no wonder he abandoned it.😳😁 The Gatehouse will most likely be for the gardener/caretaker for the grounds and keeping the pool and exterior areas clean and tidy. Or as a guest house or acccomodation for parents, granny flat etc if there is no live in caretaker? That stone circle looked impressive, looks like it was presented to someone who maybe did something heroic or dangerous for Guernsey in the past? Wonder why they want them back? Unless there was a stipulation it stayed in the family, rather than the property?

I love it, it's so quirky & unusually shaped. Would loved to have seen what it looked like when it was lived in. It's always sad seeing buildings looking unloved. Shame he's knocking it down, it could be done up lovely again. I'd kill to live in a house like that, it's right up my street with all the windows letting all that nice sunlight in.

It is such a shame when properties just get less left so beautiful as well it’s really nice up it’s massive inside can’t wait to watch thank you for sharing

How he can ever earn that type of money amazes me.

I used to g to Temple Combe when it was in full use in the late70s early 80s. It was a party venue for many of us back then. The house holds good memories for me. Didn't know that cvnt owns it now.

Grate vid mate ,, shame to see places like this just left abandoned

If Mr. Cordon wasn't so stingy, he could have put a family there to keep everything in order. Vacancy means decay

He should give that to someone (like me)!🤞. I'm so glad no one has destroyed that bathtub mirror cause that bathroom is dreamy 💓

It definitely looks to me like a bachelors pad ? But all that land is amazing,would love to know who originally built it and what was there thoughts about the shape ?

Great upload for a strange house whoever sold this to him must have run to the bank and got a plane out of the country..............🤠

That switchroom at 23:45 was the most interesting bit of this. House is dreadful, I hope the land is worth at least £8.5m plus the cost to demolish that hideous thing…

That place is hideous. 😬

I loved the kitchen. I thought there would never be a end to the tour of this mansion

The plaque in French said the Ancient Druid monument was discovered In 1785 on some mountain on the Isle of Jersey.

Here after the daily fail did an article about this, I love the quirkyness of the 60s build.

My great grandparents were gate keepers in a big estate in the Campsie Hills in Scotland. They would check the visitors, and let them enter or not as the case may be. Keeping the unwanted out of the property.

1. I desperately wanted to see what that invoice/paperwork was that was sat ontop of the safe. Names and address could of been covered but it's interesting details like this that we want. Also when did that carton expire in the kitchen! What date was on that newspaper in the lounge! Missed a trick with those 😂 explorer basics😇

This house must have been hell to furnish.

that mansion was a great find well done ..

Welcome to the 1970s .Class pornographer's mansion.Type of place Peter Stringfellow would have had a party.

What an unusual home. Loved seeing it! New to your channel, ❤❤❤!!!!

beautiful piece of property. thanks for vid.

The same James Corden who's repeatedly appeared on Comic Relief urging us to donate whatever we can afford.

Would love to see the original listing for this house

Nice vid thanks for sharing

I'm amazed the electricity hasn't been cut off.

Nice video. My suggestion to make it better get a camera stabilizer. When you're moving the pictures gets choppy. Keep up the good work. 👍

James Corden had been forced to abandon plans for a pool house because of the presence of a nearby Neolithic monument. He's finally received consent to build and is demolishing this house in exchange for a new 6 bedroom home.

Just outside of your in the ground pool area that is not a boiler room, that is known as a pump house here in the States it is also a heated swimming pool so the boiler unit that you have there is to keep the water warm and the roundish blue tank that's in the corner is your pump. When you were in the kitchen you had indicated there were a lot of wasps, well wasps are attracted to sweet smelling or soft woods such as pine and woods like that period that's why you find them a lot of The Times in abandoned homes, because most of them are constructed with pine boards. The gatekeeper house is for the person who maintains the estate! Probably the last person who was on the premises after the house was closed up lived in that gatekeeper's house. It's the caretakers dwelling.

Watch out for raccoons in that shed with the ladder....

Wow guys.. just found this channel. This is so very interesting! The foundation brick of this house looks really old. I don't see brick in that pattern anywhere (I think it's herringbone, not sure). Anyway, I absolutely love this stuff! Liked and subscribed❤😊

Give them their henge back, James! That's the only part of this property I like. Most homes have too many right angles but this one doesn't have enough imo. I always wonder why places like this don't sell. Is it because the owners don't want to take a loss? Are they so wealthy that they can't be bothered selling them? Thanks for the tour.

I wouldn't have paid £8.5 Million for that

A gate house would be where the Security guy who mans the gate of the estate would work and live with his family. He would be chief of security, entrance Gardner, and in some cases even a head butler. Gate houses would be stationed at or near the entrances of the grounds and were usually Nice Miniature versions of the Main Mansion or estate building. I believe only one true Gate house remains in the UK which was for the main estate of a former Duke's family estate as the main estate was torn down due to horrible disrepair.

So he bought in Dec of 21 so basically 2022 and it's early of 2023 and its already abandoned

As of 2023 the home is slated to be demolished. Don't know the state of the " rocks" or if James still will own the land.

This was interesting, I definitely expected it to be much nicer inside, it seemed it would be much larger and grand. It really seems like it’s been abandoned for more than 7/8 years. The layout is terrible, so outdated and that kitchen, ugh. 😳 is it still vacant? Wonder why it isn’t secured? Idk doesn’t seem worth 8.5 million, maybe the ancient stones boosted the price.

He’s still going from strength to strength so he can live wherever he wants.

Disgusting.. and people are homeless and hungry... DISGUSTING!

Wow. Amazing place. 😮. You 2 fit together. The land around it, beautiful 🤩. The house cool. Think of what you everything could do on such a big place. We subscribed to you, and go watch more of you’re work. We like the way you made this video. Real, not perfect, walking breathing, running, keep doing this. This is you 2. Greetings from us 👍🙏🐕🤩🙋🏼‍♂️🇳🇱🇩🇪☕️🌞

What a horrible creepy place, my gutt didn't like the feel of this house and it has sacrifice written all over it.

Well we know the tennis court never got used.... Or the pool.. 🎾🏊‍♂️🤣

How do you not get arrested trespassing in other people's property ?

This is another proof that money doesn't buy a taste.

Sometimes you loathe these abandoned houses and think wow back in the day that was stunning, then you look at this and can see straight away what a waste of money no wonder he abandoned it 😢 what a waste of land. Criminal 😮

It's like somewhere Savile would have owned or visited.

❤ GORGEOUS!!! FIXER UPPER BUT NOT TO MUCH...GRASS NEEDS TO BE CUT.💥💫🙃 JUST BEAUTIFUL

Expensive house done on the cheap. Also, i would hate walking all this distance to go from one room to another.

The rich and famous. Let's buy a house for 8.5 million and never set foot in it. Meanwhile the rest of us struggle with rent and affording to buy a property. Wealth inequality at its finest.

Just came across your video that's awesome place and the bathroom very nice and not much damage too nice one 👍👍😊💯

Sealed up and alarmed now.
