Never, never, ever open the old refrigerators or freezers! Lol. The smell is always horrendous😜

Firstly @beardedexplorer thanks for your uploads, me and the Mrs enjoy watching and having a spread bet on how many times you say 'oh my god' 😁 Secondly onto this house and what I know.. I used to swing into this place often on the way to or from watching Wycombe Wanderers and it was a pub called the Rose and Crown (and later on as The Chiltern) until it closed in 2014. It was bought by a local businessman who got planning permission to redesign into a 14 bed house! The individual who purchased the property unfortunately passed away aged just 35 in 2016. He was known in the local community around High Wycombe. Overall, a very sad watch tbh as many good times had in the RAC and ultimately it has been, understandably, abandoned following a family tragedy 😢

I hope the previous owner finds peace in their new home

This makes me so sad to see, this was our Wedding reception venue!! 😔 It used to be a pub and hotel called The Rose & Crown, hence all the rooms. We got married in 2011 and I think it survived a couple of years after, but then went under and as far as I know a family bought it and lived there. After that I have no idea and it’s so upsetting to see it’s gone to ruin like that 😢

I must say that's a beautiful kitchen & stove. I love the tiles too. That place could be beautifully renovated, made into several apartments. With all the land they could have lovely gardens too. If I was rich, I'd buy up places like this & fix them up. I'd also give them to house veterans, or homeless people. As long as they were clean of drugs & alcohol. My big dream would be to have an awesome dog rescue/ sanctuary, where dogs could roam outside with grass & plants. An onsite vet, hospital, & no dog cages!

1 day later they came back with a moving truck And cleaned it out!

Hi everyone, I watched the video and was really interested in finding out what actually happened and going through the stuff people wrote in the comments section is just completely wrong. The previous owner of this house bought a pub and converted it into a big house for his family but unfortunately died a few years later moving in. He was a young businessman with multiple businesses. It's very sad that the family lost their son, brother, husband and father...I wish the family all the best in life and hopefully their live is better now after this tragedy. For those who actually broke in the house and stole their belongings I hope you guys rot in hell.

The white powder in the walk in closet is probably baking soda?, to keep moisture from jewelry and clothes

Absolutely amazing the abandon house

I believe someone vandalized that beautiful house long long time ago, it’s not way the owner did that, they only took what they need in hurry but didn’t do that mess, and maybe a lot of things have been stolen too

Its more than likely someone who has been involved in major fraud , drug importing or trafficking and has decided to flee the country due to the authorities closing in on them . I have a family member who works in major fraud and this happens all the time they flee leaving everything behind

You can hear the excitement in his voice about all the expensive stuff left there, guarantee they took what they wanted and tried to justify it by saying how rich the people were.

Thanks for showing us. A sprawling place. Makes sense that it was a former hotel and pub, before a home. So THATS why the upper level has black metal fire escape stairs 😂 Clearly been vandalised, not just because of broken kitchen door but because anything of real value is gone.

Ooh that would have been fun to go through 😁🤗

Thanks for sharing ..❤️

i'm surprised it wasn't noted the broken door jams as they walked into a few of the bedrooms (see 21:20+) clearly visible in the video. that would indicate a barricaded situation. i'm glad the description explained they were evicted. can't imagine it was pretty-- the way everything was left.

That kitchen though 😮😍

This used to be a pub with rooms in Buckinghamshire. It closed in 2013 when it was converted to a private residence. I live very close by so I know the location. I would not want this a private residence as it has a busy main road at the front and the train line at the back of the house (even though the garden is large). The original buyers who converted the pub into a family home wanted 13 bedrooms upstairs, 1 downstairs and 4 living rooms in total. From what I can recall, it was for a multi-generational Asian family.

Excellent job I really enjoyed it keep up the great work

I love that kitchen and that closet beautiful♥️.

The house is big and beautiful. There are also a lot of stuffs. The thing that comes into my mind is…why did they leave the house with lots of important and branded things just like that. So sad.

It looks like they were on the run!

Waow.. this is amazing..👍

Unfortunately in places like where things get left behind if the place remains abandoned for a long time stuff just stays and if nobody claims it is basically free property unless they end up tearing the building down and they throw everything out.

Wow. Someone was getting the hell out of there....I would say Someone was scared ..so much left behind.

The place has been broken into, the smashed window was the giveaway and I think the rooms were filled with too many empty boxes, they must have had their contents taken. The other theory is that someone was looking for something in particular. The size of that safe and the amount of cameras would suggest the family was involved in something or fairly high profile. Can’t they go back and see who’s name was on that card and just google them 😂

Good video! It makes you wonder the backstory of it all. I hope when they cleared it out, they didn’t just throw it all in a skip. 😊

What a beautiful mansion 🤩

This used to be a pub and a hotel before it was converted to a house. I normally watch all your videos but I have missed a few over the last 6 months or so. There are a lot of places to urbex appearing around this location and surrounding areas that not many people know about I’m hoping to go to some of them in the upcoming months. Keep up the good work 😊

I enjoyed going through that house with you it's amazing I love to watch that and see the old furniture and everything in it but it's a shame for just to sit there and just fall to the ground God bless you keep them coming cuz I enjoy watching you

The house is real nice. ooh it quite place and nice for fresh air .

REG was BMW 528 it was on the road till 2021 , but now not showing any insurance,,,,,,,,,great video

Even if they were in a hurry to leave, the place is completely ransacked. Who would leave the place like that unless other people came after and messed everything up.

It is still a beautiful house. It would be sad to see it go to waste.

Love the colors of the walls in the downstairs section.

Goodness gracious. All the expensive things left behind then did I spot something from The Wiggles ? Cheers. Great video, new subscriber from Philly

This is a huge house with huge bedrooms definitely would be a awesome house to grow up in.

This entire home has left me baffled. Hopefully, the family that rushed out of the home is safe 😳😳😳😳😳

I like watching your videos it's so thrilling . Watching from Olongapo City Zambales Philippines 🇵🇭

Heya guys... i think its its just a sad situation all round and everyonr looses everything,,, you guys are brilliant in that you dont break in you touch nothing and your sooo ssooo respectful to... thank you..... alsso i saw this house on another explorer videl... vacant heaven .... and the house was.... in such a mess... it had bin well and truely trashed.... they had even cut water pipes.... but thank you to you colin and team for showing us around :):).... thank you sooo soo much :);)

Okay so did the family have to run out of the country in the middle of the night? Cause something about leaving this all behind isn’t adding up at all.

I absolutely love your videos, make plenty more, but that house / mansion was definitely strange to say the least

It’s probably a vacation home and people think it’s abandoned, I’ve known folks who have houses for years and only go every 3-4 years .. that’s why the water works

When your life is in dangerous, any material will be left behind.. No matter the prices or the brands.. Your life is more precious than any gucci or other brand.. Think about.. Peace

Very odd that this is abandoned, did a quick bit of research and found the name of the owner pretty quickly - looks like he sadly passed away late 2016. Whats strange is there’s a charity set up to build water wells in foreign countries in his name yet there’s clearly a huge valuable asset left here rotting?! Very odd!

Had many good times there when it was a pub. The Rose and Crown.

I really appreciate the explore, very interesting to say the least? This is late 2023 and I can guarantee the place has been raided and anything of value gone? Which is ashamed? Glad you guys looked and left. Stay safe.

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

Would love to go see this my self anyway. I could get a location so I can visit this beautiful home

They were evicted, all that shopping, no surprise.

@22:05 "Look at these empty Gucci boxs" walks by a door taped together not a single word said lol ya'll are something else

Looks to me the house was broken into . That's why its a mess with so many empty boxes . I'm sure there is a story behind it .

To me it looks like people that were dealing in stolen merchandise!

Qué habrá pasado para que dejen así la mansión?? Un abrazo enorme desde ARGENTINA 👏👏

Buddy said IF its There lol I'm with you 💯!

From the outside it does look like a pub, but a home inside? Weird! It doesn’t do much for me, but it’s great to look around and see how people leave things behind. I wish we could understand where they went. Thank you, this was a brilliant explore.

What name was on the bank card bro that’s valid info lol

It looked to me exactly like an old pub/inn that used to take in travellers and has been completely done up unsympathetically losing every ounce of character 😔 I see from other commentors that it was a pub. I was flummoxed by the state of the interior and actually wondered if it had one of those gangs recently in that specialise in theft of high end clothing etc. Turns out that the family were just filthy rich, oh well 😮 Curious explore 😊

It's mad that these houses get repossessed and left for so long, as proved by all the out of date items and the state of the building, and just left and abandoned

Left in a hurry for sure. Someone is still paying for utilities. Possible kidnapping? So many possibilities going on here🤔

we need legal obligations; after five years it's to be remanded by the city it resides in and used after attempts have been made to contact owners who should be legally bound to keep up repairs or forfeit it to city ownership

THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD FOR ME TO WATCH WITHOUT ARRANGING A VAN AND LOOTING THE PLACE

Thank for a good video was it was a old pub they used for wedding?? X

One thing was sure. An arab family was once owned that house. I think it not abandoned maybe its the situation (Pandemic) that made them left the house temporarily.

It almost looks like downstairs, that there have been squatters living or staying there with electricity and water on. The way the couches are pulled up to the tv and things seemed to have been moved and used recently…Why not ? what a perfect place to hide out if you have no moral code and are homeless. Aren’t there alarms??? Also, it’s obvious there have been people riffling through and robbing the place and throwing things about and breaking things. How sad I’m so sorry for the family and their loss.

I have a feeling the occupants of this house may have left as due to criminal activity and a tip off. ordinary people would not need do many cameras and guard dogs in the UK

That's crazy all that money still left behind😮

Love the stairs.

So insane and weird how things just get abandoned and so much good stuff goes to waste, that home is gorgeous though I’d love to have it and all the shit in it

Could be a shoplifting ring

For those that understand how wealthy gulf arabs are, this isn't a surprise ... They are rich but untidy and normally litter everything they don't want like this

🎉One of my favorite producto

Wow. This was an awesome place.

I really want to know what happened with that family. Please investigate more of that

The kitchen 🥰😘

Omg all appliances good

I would have loaded up on clothes and shoes...the psp games heck the stove too before everything rots away !

That's those folks home and the thugs broke in and stole what they wanted and trashed the place. That place needs to be locked down.

thanks guys, it was exciting 🙏😎👍

I tip my hat to you guys. If your words are true and ya'll take nothing from these place. If your only intention are to document and share with other's the rare and awesome finds. You have my attention and support. I only wish I had the opportunity to do it myself.

It's so disheartening all the furniture and other things left behind even if they didn't want it they could have donated everything before it got damaged...SMH

It looks like new money 💰. Somehow they came into $ and didn't know how to handle it. All those shopping bags, shoe boxes things not even worn. They were living beyond their means. I know I wouldn't have left all that stuff behind though!

Some of the stuff (the rotted lemon juice) had expiration dates as recent as 2020. The lad speculated that they owned a few Pizza Hut locations. Well, this would all coincide with the Covid rise that abruptly shut down businesses worldwide and forced a lot of families into financial despair. Especially ones that had lived extravagant lifestyles before the economy shut down. Could explain their abrupt departure while leaving so much behind. Very well could have fled the country to avoid failed financial responsibilities in the UK.

So amazing

Could be Indian or Arab Muslim. The huge floor space is for those persian carpets. And floor cushions. Couches are for the older people. The necklace was a tasbih. In one bedroom there was a wall hanging of a Qur'anic verse. And the Allah&Muhammad wall hangings too. Plus the dresses and jewelry. That's definitely Arab jewelry. I think what happened is that the father/male head of the family passed away/ was imprisoned abruptly. The rest of the family maybe had to move back to their home country. Maybe it was before Covid. And with Covid delays they were either unable to return by themselves or abandoned their old life altogether. Highly likely that they were either hiding from their government or they got into trouble with some govt somewhere over illegal activities. Most likely oil cartels.

I always wonder. Maybe they are in prison, gone missing or possibly dead, and the other party could not keep up with the maintenance. But it would too be strange to walk away without having a sale, leaving all these expensive personal and valuable things to just go to waste if they are not dead or in prison for some years.

Him opening that freezer was 😆 !

It would have been a beautiful house once , so many rooms. I don't know how you aren't tempted to pick up some of the stuff lying around and take it with you

I’m confused, you were just “driving by” but the other guy said “they said it was owned by someone who owned Pizza Huts”,🤔

There is nothing confusing here to me. It has all of the signs of a foreclosure. Confirmed if you read the video description. IMO there are 3 types of people when it comes to foreclosures: One waits until the last minute, and when the timer runs out they only can grab a small portion of their things, end up missing things they would have liked to take, and things get tossed around in the mad dash. The bank gets the house in this video. The second is well prepared for the inevitable and will have everything out; everything that is not nailed down. This guy takes the light bulbs and batteries in the smoke detectors. The bank gets an empty shell. The third is really angry and takes what they want or can, and then does as much damage as possible. Bathrooms are flooded, toilets clogged, and walls are destroyed. The bank gets ownership of an unlivable money pit. Based on the lemon juice expiring in 2020, I am guessing they left in 2019 or possibly even the later part of 2018. I can't speak to the place where this is located, but here in the states evictions and foreclosures really were not a thing during "the Vid". Long before "the Vid" our Pizza Huts were closing left and right. Maybe their investments were going south as well? Clearly they had money at some point, or at least good enough credit to finance quite a shopping habit. I have seen houses foreclosed on sit empty for years before the bank finally gets around to dealing with it. An acquaintance of mine (type 2) was out a few days before the bank was to take possession. He kept an eye on the vacated house and it was nearly two years before the bank did anything with it. One near my house sat for over three. By the time the bank got to it all of the plumbing was destroyed when things froze in the winter. Prior to that it had been in fairly good condition. It is just sad that this process takes so long that more damage is done just because of simple neglect. We all know that it was not raining in the living room when these people lived there, and that kind of damaged did not happen overnight.

Love them stairs.

Thats a beautiful kitchen

This hurts my heart. When the roof goes, the home deteriorates slowly, and eventually is destroyed.

The credit card would have given you a clue as to who lived there. But the place has clearly been ransacked, and perhaps they missed that little room the card and jewellery was in.

That's just crazy. 🤯

So sad especially in a country with so many homeless people living in terrible conditions

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's because I'm a woman, and I realize that not everything was left behind, but with the name Gucci attached to it, aside from the kitchen, I would have expected a more impressive decor.

The number plate is from a black Vauxhall Astra year 2000. Last MOT 2017. It had 117000 miles and judging by the advisory on the mots it was not very well maintained.

Cool video guys, I can’t watch with those smoke detectors chirping though.

Omg,wow mansion
