Sadly, utterly abandoned. Some of them aren’t too far gone, if only someone cared enough to invest their time and money.

Sad, old house near Charleston, Angus, Great Britain by Christopher Gillan.

A deserted and decaying mansion, seen through the trees above Llanychaer, Cwrt, still looks impressive, but up close it’s in desperate need of TLC. Described by Richard Fenton in his Tour of Pembrokeshire (1811) as a handsome modern mansion with a well-managed demesne, its outbuildings are also in ruins. The tree stump is all that remains of a cedar grown from a seed brought from the Holy Land. The adjacent farm is still operating. Photo by ceridwen.

OH, what a shame! Those houses have such potential. The one in Sterling has a sorta fairytale cottage feel to it.

I know! As much as I love the abandon-ness of them, I wish someone would come along and restore them all!
