If anyone is interested this house was/still owned by the creators of the Babycham Alcholic drink(showering family) which was popular in the 60s 70s and 80s. Babycham was the first alcoholic drink to be advertised on British TV and its runaway success allowed creator Francis Showering to purchase this stunning thatched house in Beaulieu, Hants. The family home was passed down the family after his death in 1995 and is now on the market for the first time in 50 years. Thanks for reading. :)
So from what you have said its not going to be demolished , thats good to know,obscenely rich people will not demolish it , would make a great , B&B ,or Wedding venue , thank you for the 'back story' History etc is this drink still in production ?
Hey guys, I've actually seen two other explorers do this one, and y'all showed it much more in detail. Superb videogophy #Alex. Much love from Alabama and many thanks for the membership gift #VacantHeaven ! See ya next week!! 💜🫶🏼💜
Superb video, guys. What a place! Amazing to see the neat, orderly MICC wiring in the room where the electrical services entered the house. The copper 'pipes' were actually cables - MICC....Mineral Insulated Copper Cable, commonly known as Pyro. These were copper tubes with two or more bare copper wires inside, but they were kept separate from themselves & the tube by a compacted mineral insulation in the form of a powder. They were mostly used for front-line systems - fire alarms, emergency lighting, intruder alarms, etc.; any system that needed to maintain its operation in the event of fire, flood or damage, or any system that may have been subject to a harsh environment.
Thanks for not pretending to talk to dead people or reacting to every creak and rattle by announcing it must be supernatural in origin. I’ve had more than enough of urbex-ers attempting to diversify into ghost hunting!
Another Great One Lads ... Incredible amount of Ground to Explore too , What a Shame it's been left like that to decay for so long , Keep up the Great work Boys !
Stunning video guys, thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery and exploration, the tranquility is outstanding, such a shame it may not stay that way,, but people will always be able to see your video, and reflect............❤
Hi Alex and Eddie from Queensland Australia what a find enjoy our Mondays I finish work and tell my hubby going downstairs to watch my boyfriends lol I'm enjoying this week's great find.
Update: the house was built in the 1930’s. Lovely explore. I think 1649 as a date for when the house was built is possible provided excellent upkeep. The furnishings made me think 1940’s, some 60’s. The yellow metal kitchen sink 40/50’s. Same for some of the bath. Was thinking the “bunker” may have been used for gardening supplies? Although a bunker with sealed off tunnels is more exciting. I was intrigued by the gorgeous and thoughtful designs of the metalwork on the windows and doors. Thanks guys!
Once again you are proving yourselves to be the elite of explorers. Adventurers. The respect you show consistently. 'I just want to shut this door Ed'. The edjits who smashed the sunken sinks and wrote childish drivvle on the walls give guys like you a bad name. Thank you for taking us round.
That was such a lovely house I hate to think they will knock it down. Those views were awesome I could wake up to that each morning. Thank you both 😊😊😊
Alex and Eddie, you guys are great at taking your time, showing everything in more detail and giving us back stories, the history of each explore! So far, the best explore of this home and surrounds. As always, great job guys! ❤❤😊🙏🇦🇺
Thank you for a fabulous video. Surely there is a conservation order on the property. It is stunning. Such a shame if it is demolished. Take care you two. Sue from Hampshire xx
What a cool find, guys! I loved all the built-ins and custom cobeted sinks. I rather liked the lavender 💜 bathroom. Such a shame, considering all I saw was an area with water damage. Structurally, it appears sound. 😢
That was an awesome explore! Thank you. I am fairly new to your channel and have a lot of catchinig up to do! Oh, yeah, I am supposed to ask if Edd is single? lol Have a good week guys. Look forward to catching up and next Sunday.
Hi Alex and Ed. Wot a fantastic place it was massive your explors just keep getting better and better i think that was run as a business whith everything on them grouds it at to be brilliant find guys funny at the end and on the jetty luved this one ❤👍👍
I absolutely loved that place so nice with the views the jetty and all those huge rooms that swimming pool would have been amazing in its day one of my favourite explores for a while shame it has to be knocked down I loved it thank you guys for that explore really enjoyed it have a fantastic week and I will look forward to the next one see you guys next week 😊❤️
Smashing explore, perfect house & location, everything must’ve been marvellous when the owner first moved in & for years after, it’s so sad to see it fall into disrepair like that. Our first date in 1967, my boyfriend now husband of 55yrs asked me what I wanted too drink being a bit green I asked for a brandy & babysham, gorgeous, very potent & expensive, he said he nearly had a heart attack when he had to pay for it, very glad it didn’t put him off me! Cheers for a great year exploring xx
Can't believe i missed this one, absolutely amazing place what a gem to discover by the best team! The bathroom boat tiles very quirky lol 😂 and can't believe they have stone stairs inside lol thanks again VH 😎✨️
What a lovely house with views to die for. I don’t know how you keep finding these houses that pool house alone makes what I live in look small but that ceiling was magnificent well done Alex and Pompeye you’ve gone and found an excellent place there shame it’s being pulled down just to build some modern dump of a house that won’t be a home just a look at how rich I am kind of place or worse still some housing estate that won’t be built in the way that old home was.😊😊😊
Thank you for confirming all the details & showing the house & land to us. What a shame these characterful places get pulled down for bland buildings to be erected in their place
I love houses like this that go on forever and have rooms behind rooms and stairways in closets. Such an interesting explore. My favorite part, though, is the graceful trip and slip down the dock at the end!
That place is amazing.. thatched roof live edge wood plank siding on the water with a pool and the pool house with the ship murals and the boat house... Geeeeez that was amazing
Awesome old house wow so much history l hope they save some of the old wood from the house looks like oak also loved the hand basins how you lift them up thanks guys for showing us xx
I would guess that the boat house was for a sailboat of sorts. You could drop the mast roll it in. Then you could raise the mast and work on the rigging from the mezzanine (up the ladder). This appears to have a second berth service by the mezzanine as well. Great explore guys. Stay safe and well.(OR USA)
Great video guys I love it the house is big and beautiful my favorite is the room made out of wood the white wash one I just loved it Thanks for showing how are u all doing today ya crazy slipping on the bridge Lol 😂😂 love u guys 💙💙👍💋💋
I seen this on another channel a while ago, apparently in the 90's it was made has a get away place for school week end trips, so a school would rent it for a week end for which ever year children would be going to stay, the kids would do water sports, go orientering that sort of thing. Which would explain all the seperate changing rooms ect.
Thanks guys , i'm pleased they got their personal stuff out , yet its crazy that more fittings are not marked to be kept , door handles and esp the AGA,the fold up covered sinks and baths the windows vast majority in good nick with the ornate open/close handles,i'm surprised at the amount of copper tubing ,more expensive than lead I think .Really drives home the old saying , 'more money than sense' , from the post below it seems as though its going to be saved , which is albeit expensive common sense . , Thanks again gents
Only found you recently, and so glad I did. I love your style of reporting the properties you investigate. I do follow quite a few urbex-ers but I find you guys so refreshing! Anyway, I just googled this property and saw what it was like in its heyday, so glamorous. Also saw the proposed developments planned for it, it's a shame if they don't keep as much of the original as possible but I guess the level of decay affects what they can do. Anyway, looking forward to many more of your videos. All the best, from a Dorset "lass". 😂
I adore listening to you two! ❤. And I just subscribed to. Thank you for showing us this hauntingly beautiful place. Do you ever get scared? Just wondering. Love from Wisconsin.❤
EDD !!! WATCH YOUR HEAD!!!! Just like the last time and the time before that!!!!! Great Show on this Mansion, a place I could get if I won the lottery !!!
That was a massive place! It is a pity that the morons had been there and smashed up those hand basins. The hidden sinks reminded me of the hidden stove top like you would find in a caravan. When you said that the first building you came across was an outhouse, being an Aussie, I imagined an outside dunny 😊 The wall paper in the room with the Japanese motif looked amazing. The old boat house was massive, the big electric winch would have been used to haul boats up to work on them. Thanks for sharing your adventures guys, keep exploring all those old places.
What an amazing find, VacantHaven .I was astounded by the size of the place and all those hidden rooms.I loved the view of the boats . What a shame it's being pulled down.Thanks, Alex & Ed, for showing us around 👌👍🛟⚓️😀
About 45 yrs ago my dad decorated a massive mansion type house and this house had secret walk ways between the outer walls and the inner walls with little hideaways tucked in , it made exploring great fun but we never found anything 🤣🤣
The only good thing about being ill is actually having time to watch your videos, finally caught up now 👌 If I lived there, I'd be sat outside painting the boats all the time ⛵️
Note - Interesting fact the 3 large bushes at the front were once shaped into Babycham Glasses. The family 5 brothers - brought back the brand in 2021 and own the Brothers Drinks Co Founded in 1992 after they sold Babycham to Accolade wines in the 1990
If anyone is interested this house was/still owned by the creators of the Babycham Alcholic drink(showering family) which was popular in the 60s 70s and 80s.

Nice one 👍
Hi guys it's very similar to the house u did last week or have u re edited it guys.
Wayne
@@georgevideos1849 thanks for the👍 information
@@duncanyourmate2433It's too remote an area to be a B and B.
Hey guys, I've actually seen two other explorers do this one, and y'all showed it much more in detail. Superb videogophy #Alex. Much love from Alabama and many thanks for the membership gift #VacantHeaven !
See ya next week!!
💜🫶🏼💜
What a beautiful house and surroundings. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
This is what Sunday nights are for, drink, snacks and Alex Neddy and Eddy ♥️
❤ Eddie humour he makes the show. Happy New Year to you both 🎉

You guys find the most beautiful houses that no other explorer's seem to find! Stunning. Thank you. X
Great video guys. Much prefer these finds over the houses full of people's hoardings
Thanks for not pretending to talk to dead people or reacting to every creak and rattle by announcing it must be supernatural in origin. I’ve had more than enough of urbex-ers attempting to diversify into ghost hunting!
Agree , some are ok but some are just absolutely ridiculous that I’ve actually stopped watching them .
Agree. Spirit boxes, an app on their phone and filming everything in night vision. And nothing happens.
Yep. Stop it, Colin :)
I really liked the hand painted wall papers and the pool house. Thanks for the interesting tour
Another Great One Lads ... Incredible amount of Ground to Explore too , What a Shame it's been left like that to decay for so long , Keep up the Great work Boys !

This Mansion is my favourite so far. Thanks for showing us around guys.
Once again you are proving yourselves to be the elite of explorers. Adventurers. The respect you show consistently. 'I just want to shut this door Ed'. The edjits who smashed the sunken sinks and wrote childish drivvle on the walls give guys like you a bad name. Thank you for taking us round.
The eejits who smashed stuff and sprayed imbecilic graffiti everywhere are just brain-dead vandals, not explorers.
Love the respect you guys give to the property’s you explore happy new year ❤
That was such a lovely house I hate to think they will knock it down. Those views were awesome I could wake up to that each morning. Thank you both 😊😊😊

Thanks!
That place is massive! Thanks for sharing guys!
Good one guys what a shame its been Abandoned the land would be expensive to.catch you next week keep up the good finds. 😊
Great find, Alex and Ed. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without Ed, bumping his head.
1649? I question that part a bit.
That was amazing !A very happy new year to you all 😊You guys are unique it what you do , I for one really appreciate all your hard work.😊
Amazing Explore guys! Loved the panic room & secret doors. The seat over the bidet was a 1st for me. Crazy about all the lil extra details!
Thank you for a fabulous video. Surely there is a conservation order on the property. It is stunning. Such a shame if it is demolished. Take care you two. Sue from Hampshire xx

What a great find guys. If I had the money I would restore this house this house. Such a beautiful home and gardens.
Well that hour went by way to quickly, brilliant video and another fab find guys, thankyou.💕
Thank you for confirming all the details & showing the house & land to us. What a shame these characterful places get pulled down for bland buildings to be erected in their place
This was great thanks for taking us around see you in the next one
Great find Alex and edd such a shame they are pulling it down see you next week x
Great one. ❤ the hidden sinks and the painting in pool house
Brilliant love watching every day I'm 70 and I'm in love with ned xxxxx
I love houses like this that go on forever and have rooms behind rooms and stairways in closets. Such an interesting explore. My favorite part, though, is the graceful trip and slip down the dock at the end!
awesome as always, great find,keep it coming ,be safe.
That place is amazing.. thatched roof live edge wood plank siding on the water with a pool and the pool house with the ship murals and the boat house... Geeeeez that was amazing
Cheers lads, that was a great explore ! What a place that must have been in its day !
Mad that all these places are left to rot it's sad .such nice places
Wow what a house! Great video! Eddie your breadth of knowledge astounds me!

This a good one I enjoyed it very much thank you again 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great one tonight guy's best one yet hope you get more like that hope to catch you next week 🤟🤘🤙
I would guess that the boat house was for a sailboat of sorts. You could drop the mast roll it in. Then you could raise the mast and work on the rigging from the mezzanine (up the ladder). This appears to have a second berth service by the mezzanine as well. Great explore guys. Stay safe and well.(OR USA)
What a shame, superb house could be renovated. Thanks for taking us round .
Beautiful place. Hopefully someone will buy it and restore it to its former glory.

All the best, from a Dorset "lass". 😂
Watching from Michigan, USA. Very cool explore guys, and cool house.

Are you a drummer in a band?
@pompeye1521 I wish! But, I do have 3 guitars that I can't play!🤣
😂😂
I adore listening to you two! ❤. And I just subscribed to. Thank you for showing us this hauntingly beautiful place. Do you ever get scared? Just wondering. Love from Wisconsin.❤
Lads this one has been done already by other explorers. But will still watch as your the BEST.
Great video what a beautiful house & what a waste of look forward to your next one ❤❤
Hi guys happy new year lost you both for a while but found you . What a find so much potential
EDD !!! WATCH YOUR HEAD!!!! Just like the last time and the time before that!!!!! Great Show on this Mansion, a place I could get if I won the lottery !!!
That dog in the photo looked like it was a Newfoundland. Great video thankyou.
When you both got to the bottom of the stairs before you went outside there was a noise like a children's or ladies voice. At 43.17
…think it was Edd farting.
That was a massive place! It is a pity that the morons had been there and smashed up those hand basins. The hidden sinks reminded me of the hidden stove top like you would find in a caravan. When you said that the first building you came across was an outhouse, being an Aussie, I imagined an outside dunny 😊
The wall paper in the room with the Japanese motif looked amazing.
The old boat house was massive, the big electric winch would have been used to haul boats up to work on them. Thanks for sharing your adventures guys, keep exploring all those old places.
Interesting nice find.
What an amazing find, VacantHaven .I was astounded by the size of the place and all those hidden rooms.I loved the view of the boats . What a shame it's being pulled down.Thanks, Alex & Ed, for showing us around 👌👍🛟⚓️😀
Well done,guys❤
Great video, lads. I always struggle to get my head around why they let these properties get in such a state before they sell them.
Copper piped/conduit house wiring? Never seen it before.
Enjoyed that one guys. But missing ned hope he is OK and happy new year to you all 🎉❤
Happy new year! He's all good cheers!
New Year, new opportunity to pleaasse mic Ed up because we love him and want to hear what he's saying
Bonne année a vous tous et merci pour ces moments partagés
About 45 yrs ago my dad decorated a massive mansion type house and this house had secret walk ways between the outer walls and the inner walls with little hideaways tucked in , it made exploring great fun but we never found anything 🤣🤣
Another great vid boys, fair play
Boy this place was huge ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The only good thing about being ill is actually having time to watch your videos, finally caught up now 👌
If I lived there, I'd be sat outside painting the boats all the time ⛵️
Sorry to hear that Louise!
I hope you've been well looked after 👍👍
Note - Interesting fact the 3 large bushes at the front were once shaped into Babycham Glasses. The family 5 brothers - brought back the brand in 2021 and own the Brothers Drinks Co Founded in 1992 after they sold Babycham to Accolade wines in the 1990
Wow!! That’s a amazing house x
I like the boat house😊
I’m watching this on the toilet, constipated.
