Urbex ~ The Dower / Luddington House

- This Grade II listed building was first built in the 17th century, it now sits sadly abandoned as do the extension wings which haven't been abandoned as long & were a later addition to the central large house. It looks to have been converted & used as appartments,
flats, and the majority of bedrooms had bathrooms and kitchens attached, which were far to many for me to count. The owner a Mrs,G,G,S passed away on the 16th of January, 2010. The diary found alongside some photographs was left open at her funeral's date, Friday the 12th February 2010. The former owner was a self-made businesswoman who found success in property during the 1960s after working as a civil servant in the war office. It was during this period that her friendship with a Lady SR blossomed and they journeyed to Poland together on one of the many trips made to take vital supplies of food medicine and clothing to concentration camp survivors, and people left abandoned in a country deeply damaged by the Second World War.
The Mansion House was sold for £2.5 million to developers whom were appointed to secure a planning consent for the redevelopment of the Listed Building and creation of new homes within its grounds & to ensure that the value of the site was maximised prior to the proceeds being left to the two very worthy charities.
Parts of the building seem to have been lived in as recently as only a couple of years ago? Sorry for the lack of history, If only those walls could talk...
All in All another very worthwhile trip & a very enjoyable 3 hour explore, although I still managed to miss out quite a bit of it, due to the amount of rooms & passages....I just got lost....sorry about the lighting....again!
I Hope you find something to enjoy of this magnificent old beauty.
Aeterna Non Caduca
Not for this life alone, but for eternity.
The pictures are history. I hope someone has written stories about this family.
The house of many kitchens & bathrooms! Even little made up mini fridge & microwave. Tea, coffee, & snacks.
Thank you. I'm glad you wore a good breathing mask.
Well said. thank you!
That is difinatley my favorate lost place i´ve seen on your channel. Interesting, no vandalism, just natural decay and nice historical items. I like the way you film: you take your time and show us everything in detail ! Thanks for the tour !! 👍👍👍
Another Grand video. Another Grand explore. I enjoyed this so much. I particularly like the fact that you let the building speak for itself, that is; you didn't find it necessary it point out every feature with verbal commentary. There were so many architectural features of interest here. Although, my favourite is the photo of the marble washstand with mirror and globe light above at 43:08. Thanks.
Terrific old place too bad it's falling into such disrepair. Enjoyed this been awhile since you've done one, worth the wait.
What a lucky find. That place is dope. Look at the stairs. Nice video. Left u a like. Look forward to more explores 👍
nice house, good filming, no music, no talking, bravo !
Hey thanks! It's all about the house....not the explorer;-)
I agree! Enjoyed it!
@@AbandonedUK Explorers that talk constantly & state the obvious are annoying but I did miss you saying hello & making the occasional funny comment. A few words makes it feel that I'm seeing things with you. Look forward to next explore.
@@mlday6821 Yes I agree- when he does the limited commentary rather than none at all- its best.
What a wonderful place. Another excellent piece from you. Thanks for sharing it.
Came over from Jay's channel ☺️. Great video!
Beautiful older home. Quite a maze. So many kitchens. Sad no one cares about pictures for family histoty.
yes i agree, it was sad to see such clear beautiful photos just laying about on the floor
This is such a beautiful old house. Great find and a great explore!
What an amazing place.How sad its been left to get in that state.
Comments were off when i watched this, very beautiful house and great stuff too see, and nice too see you are back at exploring, but you were a bit fast at times :-)
Thank you rolf, all is good here of late.....Sorry about the lack of content. I waited ages for a half decent explore to come along that was worth the travel & time....then made a complete hash of it....must get in more practice....all the best!!
@@AbandonedUK I hear more explorers complaining about the lack of new places, and you shouldn't have too pay a arm and a leg too discover you can't get in after a long travel, witch sadly happens a lot.
Hi friend long time.. good to see you.. well i couldnt visit this way too for some time.. wow. this is an amazing exploration.. what!!! wait a minute .. why there is electricity and the meter working and a light is on? if this is abandoned.. well it certainly has to be abandoned.. the way current state of the house is pretty bad.. falling into pieces.. mold.. water damage.. is this going to be demolished soon. Its a huge place.. so many rooms.. i got lost some where in there..the pool is pretty sad looking. no turning back there.. . .thank you so much for sharing..
May be it's been said, for abandoned like this it would be wise to have some one with you. great video say safe.
I hope you are well and will be making more videos. I’ve missed your explores and want more.
are the developers who purchased it in 2010 not under legal obligation to get the work done?
Where have you been? I hope you were ok, you were missed. Another great video here, thank you.
Thumbs up .) Good trip !
hi just a quick question are you still posting vids ,im asking cus i havnt seen anything new in months
taking a break until something inspires me....lately nothing worth risking or nothing local to explore....work & life just seems to take up my time.......there is hope & thanks for your support/comments.
@@AbandonedUK cheers 4 the reply stay safe and happy
Is this place still accessible? If so, where abouts is it?
No....it has been secured & under development
@@AbandonedUK Damn... Cheers for letting me know 👍🏻
20:13 In the visitor's book someone's address is 11129 Ophir Drive, Los Angeles. The Zillow estimated value for this house is $2.7 million!
Might go there tomorrow is it still abandoned?
I don't know as it's not local to me, but I suspect not.
@@AbandonedUK I went there the house was sold and has since been renovated
Hello, mate, no videos for a long time, I hope you're OK.
All's good, just have a lot going on in my life currently....Hopefully get back to it soon....Thanks & stay safe.
A little too fast with the camera. Beautiful house though. Thanks for sharing.

I feel disturbed by the decay, rot and abandonment!
I got a bad vibe from this home
it was sad to see such clear beautiful decades-old photos just laying about on the floor. Clearly from the elaborate swimming pool, the property was upkept & maintained from the 1600s to some modern period.
Its abandonment seems to have happened rather quickly over less than a couple decades in the 20th century.
