I used to live close to this house when ronnie corbett lived there.Used to see him all the time driving around in his roller,he could hardly see over the steering wheel. I drove past one day & he was standing on a milk crate trying to wash the roof of his roller. He chased a burglar out of there one night.
Well you can see which areas of the house recieved the full chav upgrade after the 'Celebrity' took ownership. Ronnie Corbett was a comedy legend ..... sad for his family to see it ruined.
Maybe, Ronnie came back as he wasn't happy with the way the house was..... and used those Fork Handles (four candles) if you want to see the sketch. One of the funniest sketches I have ever seen.
Ronnie’s house, it’s about 5 mins from me. We were saddened when we heard it caught fire. It was a lovely place (Arts and crafts) with some amazing rooms and backed onto a golf course. Ronnie and his wife moved out before he got ill, I’m assuming to avoid inheritance tax for his kids. They moved not too far away. that first room was a small theatre, theres a TV documentary about him showing around the house. I suspect the black bathroom fittings / jacuzzi etc were not Ronnies.
Ok so I watched this video today, 11/09/2021. After a bit of detective work I found the house on Google maps and went to street view. I'm happy to report that there are signs of a rebuild in progress.
I love listening to the enthusiasm of the bearded explorer of all the places he explores....he has a good vibe & easy listening voice. It's so sad to see all these amazing places with fantastic memories go to waste...I'm a very sentimental person....I think I'm from a different era lol...it's very cool to see all these places....it's like time travel, but not, if you know what I mean X
When Ronnie owned this place it was always prestine when the jls muppet took over it slowly looked neglected I so hope someone restores this grand place to former glory
I went there to deliver a car to Ronnie Corbett back in the day. It was a gorgeous house and Ronnie was a wonderful chap. I was so chuffed to meet him.
I live 5 mins from here. For a while after the fire it was under police guard, I guess because of interest from the press, a lot of people were trying to explore, and because there was suspected arson. The usual rumours of insurance fraud circulated after the fire. There's scaffolding up around it now and builders knocking about. If they're not tearing it down entirely they're likely replacing a lot of the structure and the whole roof. It's a nice enough location - top of a hill, corner plot, backing onto a golf course.
20:17 That's a dinning room with a baronial fireplace & a medievalesque minstrel's gallery up that ladder, that narrow shaft leading off it was presumably an access point with a (now absent) ladder for the musician(s) to use. That small blue roomed toilet with the newspaper cuttings all over the walls was obviously made by Corbett. Interesting & well filmed, thx.
i knew Mr & Mrs Corbett they loved this house and i knew the gardener who kept the garden immaculate ..now it's a disgrace the way this house has been treated and then to let it burn down no respect for for the house by the previous owner ... i know that Mrs Corbett is saddened by what has happened to it and she never wanted to sell it ......
Ronnie Corbett would be so upset if he could see his former home in this state. It’s a shame. Hope someone can buy it & restore it to how it use to be.
So sad to see a house like this i bet back in the day it was a beautiful place to live probably ronnie corbetts pride and joy any way thanks for the video loved it stay safe x
This makes me feel so sad for Ortise...he didn't 'let' it go to ruin he was falsely accused of rape and targeted by an arsonist. He also lost ALOT of money due to the case and was finally found that she lied.
just cuz they get off, doesn't mean they r innocent, just means they can afford decent lawyers, has everyne forgotten OJ? he clearly committed terrible crimes yet walks freely amongst us, Celebrities often have the least morals
@@profhortsunlover1536 but he was innocent. And a shit lawyer or a non lawyer with a bit of legal education like myself can win a case if your innocent AND if your guilty so long as they know how to utilize precedent and the law
Great video ❤️ It’s so sad to see Oritse’s home end up like this after he was finally trying to move on with his life after it was proved the girl lied!! 💔
It wasn't proven she lied at all. He was acquitted, this does not mean innocent. It means the prosecution wasn't able to provide enough evidence to obtain a guilty plea. That's all. Nothing in the trial proved anything. It didn't prove he didn't do it, it also didn't prove she lied about it.
This was a proper insurance job ! .. just days after that lad from whichever band got through his court case .. he needed the cash to pay his lawyers off ! .. poor old Ronnie would die again if he saw the state of the place now ! ... and incidentally i believe he sold it so his kids would have an inheritance as he was skint in later life ...
🤷🏾♂️ just can’t see it being that nice when it was in tact. The swimming pool area wasn’t nice at all. Either way such a shame to see it in the state it is. Another great video 👊🏾👌🏾👍🏾
@@chloeharris4454 um where are jls the manufactured band now, this house lasted in their care as long as their career...., such a shame wa a beautifull old house
@@pandoramoore3794 hun you should do your research before you said anything, they had a career of 5 years. That house has been like that for a year, and they announced earlier this year that they have reunited and are doing a tour which mostly sold out 👍🏼 Know your facts hun
Wow it was only valued at 1.7 million in 2011,it looks huge and on a beautiful site...it's crazy the glass on the mirrors stayed intact with all that heat...that jls guy hadn't lived there for 12 months before the fire crazy he couldn't find a buyer...
Did you also know Ronnie Corbett lived in this house .He owned it years ago then he purchased a bungalow in Croydon which he owned for over 40 yrs until his death. So that house does have some history
The house that sold for £500k isnt this house which was called "Fairways". I believe that the Corbetts moved out of Fairways into a smaller property next door and Fairways was sold in 2011 for £1,700,000.
That is really sad - has to have been a beautiful house with some really tasteful fittings and stunning windows. Don't guess you'll do another video before Christmas so here's wishing you a great time over the festive season. Love your humour by the way! 😃
it looks to me to be just roof damage could defo be saved new roof cleaned out and a structure test to make sure its safe to rebuild if i had the money i would defo do it back up
Gosh it was probably a lovely place at one time.Whether it was an accident or somebody set it on fire on purpose they certainly made sure it was damaged thoroughly.Im guessing maybe it was already empty as there didnt seem to be any personal effects in there.Such a shame.
Hi. Watching from Toronto Canada. What a waste of a nice house. So dodgy. This one should be demolished. It's a death trap. The stories it would tell. I enjoyed this video. Thank you. Stay safe.
only way to save that is to gut the full building keep the walls and rebuild the roof and insides sadly that would cost more then just flatting it and building a new one in place of it, maybe the history of the building would make it a worth it.
What a shame this is destroyed. God bless the Two Ronnies. They were just the best on tv. Now Russell Howard just keeps pushing his left political opinions, disgusting. Who were JLS? Never heard of them. Gosh, I’m getting old.
That's what I was thinking. However we went there last week and major new security cameras installed and some scaffolding has been erected. I hope this means it will finally get restored...?

Well you can see which areas of the house recieved the full chav upgrade after the 'Celebrity' took ownership. Ronnie Corbett was a comedy legend ..... sad for his family to see it ruined.
It’s a shame that the JLS bloke didn’t make improvements that fit in with the feel of the house. Pole dancers on the mirrors? Really? I shake my head
Maybe, Ronnie came back as he wasn't happy with the way the house was..... and used those Fork Handles (four candles) if you want to see the sketch. One of the funniest sketches I have ever seen.
I remember that sketch John, so, so funny. Good old days!

What was the documentary called with ronnie showing you around?
Poor old Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker. Now THEY were FUNNY! Not like the so called comedians these days.
They were the best 😂 The Two Ronnie's R.I.P 📺
True. 💯
Damn. The doctors just finished telling me there’s no time.
"Look how unsafe this house is, the floor is bowing up" - continues on with tour !
That is such a sad sight. A really nice house, sad that someone set fire to it :(
Ok so I watched this video today, 11/09/2021. After a bit of detective work I found the house on Google maps and went to street view. I'm happy to report that there are signs of a rebuild in progress.
i live nearby, they are sill rebuilding it

All that wealth and such poor taste, I am sure the great Ronnie Corbett would of been shocked to see what became of 😔his former residence.
I use to live just round the corner from Mr Corbett, what a lovelly home that once was, R.I.P Ronnie
I live close by.
Once I heard Ronnie Corbett owned it I forgot all about jls what a legend r.i.p
When Ronnie owned this place it was always prestine when the jls muppet took over it slowly looked neglected I so hope someone restores this grand place to former glory

I did a paper round in the early 80s for Fred Dawes newsagent.. One the other paper boys used to deliver to Ronnie Corbetts home
i’m not the only one who thought the title was gonna say Ronnie Pickering right?
@@jerrythai8680 awesome I did a paper round between 1981 to 1983

Easily the scariest explore you've done. I'm just glad you or Ben didn't get hurt. As ever I really liked it 😉
Such a shame to see a beautiful home like Ronnie’s turned into a cheesy pop palace 🙈 Rip the two legends that were the two Ronnie’s
Luckily the downstairs is intact apart from the flashy kitchen.
@Tony P well excuse my bad grammar 🙈
Colin no lies but this is the best visit I've seen if this place by far huge thumbs up nice one x
Right that’s it ! I’ve seen Too many of these lovely English mansions going to reak & ruin this is one that’s gona be restored !
Have you seen how beautiful it was before.x
ALWAYS A GREAT DISCOVERY, AND A GREAT ADVENTURE. VERY SAD TO SEE ALL THAT BURNT HOUSE. THANKS TO SHARE MY FRIEND, TAKE CARE. BIG HUG FROM PORTUGAL😉
Another great video mate can't wait for next one jls never heard of them but looks like house got torched for a reason!!!????...???
Ronnie Corbett would be so upset if he could see his former home in this state. It’s a shame.
Hope someone can buy it & restore it to how it use to be.
What a tragedy - and also definitive proof that money most definitely cannot buy taste, (and I’m not referring to the talented Mr Corbett)!
Just woke up to a new video! It’s not even Saturday! 🥳 *I don’t think I’ve ever seen your beard so short. Looks good both ways. 😉
Imagine playing hide and seek in there with little Ronnie back in the day?
Went to view this myself but there are now workers putting up scaffolding so it seems it's potentially being restored
Ooh really yeh . Let's hope so have you seen how beautiful it was inside before the fire xx
@@sidneyh11 yeah, it seemed like a really nice place to live! Especially in the summer! Such a shame!
I was really hoping his wife and children would buy it back and restore it xx
Just looked on Google earth and yes it looks like it's being restored
Sold for £500k in August according to Zoopla!
No way really yeh. How crazy is that xx
Noooo waayy!!
So sad to see a house like this i bet back in the day it was a beautiful place to live probably ronnie corbetts pride and joy any way thanks for the video loved it stay safe x
Great video dude as always looks like the place would have been a great house once thanks for showing us around 🏡😊👌
All I can say is the house is just like there songs empty and damp

Some of the decor went full chav mode!

A Beautiful shame. I was hoping to see the basement. Great Explore See you soon ☺️
Great tour. I'm sure they'll build on the land.
Heartbreaking for it to have gone to rack and ruin .
Disgraceful. I feel for Ronnies family and there memories of the place.
There stuff you could sit round as a family and have a laugh without worrying
@Tony P shut up ya batty😂
This makes me feel so sad for Ortise...he didn't 'let' it go to ruin he was falsely accused of rape and targeted by an arsonist. He also lost ALOT of money due to the case and was finally found that she lied.
What happened to her?

Christ that’s buggered, shame really. Ronnie Corbett was a comedy great
What a sad fate for a beautiful house. Ronnie Corbett was a true entertainer. Who is JKS?
Ronnie Corbett wood be crying his eye out if see his house now what a shame

Someone is going to get hurt in this dangerous building :

Amazing video guys ❤️
It's sad to see beautiful buildings fall apart
His coat hangers dont match 😩
Oh dear is you're ocd kicking in?... Loooooooool

🤷🏾♂️ just can’t see it being that nice when it was in tact. The swimming pool area wasn’t nice at all. Either way such a shame to see it in the state it is. Another great video 👊🏾👌🏾👍🏾
I don't think it was a swimming pool I think it was more like supose to be pond I think
A five minute pop stars house.
His name is pronounced or-ish-ay😂but love this vid
I saw a sticker of yours on a Mcdonalds drive through order point yesterday near wales. Had to double take.
If those walls could talk eh
Great explore guys. 👍✌
Wow it was a great house, how do they end up abandoned like this, who actually owns it now?
nice one man! enjoyed that explore!
So pleased this house is remembered for proper talent like Ronnie Corbett, not talentless manufacturered chav boy bands like JLS .
Any need to be rude like? Just because their music isn’t your taste doesn’t mean you should act like that

When kids get too much money . Bet it was lovely pre JLS ownership. Such a shame
Me enamoré de tu trabajo!!!! Excelente...ya me suscribo
I thought JLS were a parcel delivery service.
E.P. de Heer 😂😂 they would probably of done better!..
I will have to Google it to find out. Probably worst than wastelife.
Sure the house is insured & sort the property Insurance.
What a terrible shame I bet it was stunning before the extensive damage.
Paul, agreed. A quick Google search reveals photos from the sale particulars - absolutely beautiful property. Heartbreaking to see it like this.
Apparently this house actually sold in August 2020 for £500,000
The house that sold for £500k isnt this house which was called "Fairways". I believe that the Corbetts moved out of Fairways into a smaller property next door and Fairways was sold in 2011 for £1,700,000.

Sad sad state 😢
Please reply and tell me this beautiful song name
What is the music used in the intro?
Was there no insurance on the JLS house ? Is that why it has never been rebuilt ?
This house's more recent insurance history just shouts insurance job to me
Ortise is pronounced Oh-Ree-Shay. Everything about this place is so sad. It will be a housing estate soon I guess :(
Gosh it was probably a lovely place at one time.Whether it was an accident or somebody set it on fire on purpose they certainly made sure it was damaged thoroughly.Im guessing maybe it was already empty as there didnt seem to be any personal effects in there.Such a shame.
The shed is in better condition than the house!
Is this house still standing ??
U said Oristé’s name wrong btw
I WAS IN THIS HOUSE EARLIER THIS WEEK ITS BEEN GUTTED BUT BEING RENIVATED BUT MANGED TO SAVE FIRE PLACES OLD RADS AND SOME OTHER ORIGONAL THINGS X
I heard that it was being renovated.. would love to see it when it’s all finished 🙂
ILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO X

Espectacular!!!
Me podrían indicar cuál es la canción que suena de fondo ?
que?
Ronnie will be turning in his grave at the state of it now... r.i.p Ronnie
From JLS to ODB, in 1day.🤣
Sad, very sad😞
It was a 3 million pound house. How the stars fall.

U sound old
@@Colbi.Morris older than you by the looks of your picture.
Why was it abandoned and what aligations?
When I see a house like this go into disrepair always think its planned so they can knock it down and build on the land
That's what I was thinking.
However we went there last week and major new security cameras installed and some scaffolding has been erected. I hope this means it will finally get restored...?
@@victorsilvester78 Its such a nice house full of history needs to be saved.
I found on Google that the property was bought for £500,000 on 28th August 2020
