    In this explore we visit a Mansion with some unusual Architecture.
    Half above ground and half below, this house has almost a bunker vibe!
    As we looked around we discovered the place was owned by someone connected to Bands and used the property for publicity and recording.
    This becomes evident as we discover a very expensive relic of this time!

    I believe at one time the grounds were magnificent, but the house was really neat too, with the hidden closets, and the strange design, I loved the piano and Ed (the piano man) amazing!😂 You guys are by far, the best urban explorers that I have ever watched! No joke.

      Good luck with your utube channel…
      If you don’t mind what’s the name of your channel? When I was 12 my best friend was diagnosed with leukaemia she past 4yrs later but in those 4yrs she lived life to the fullest and even managed to go to Disneyland with the “make a wish foundation” (New Zealand) this was back in 1989… I still have here hair to this day and a bracelet we made together in a nice box… Her name was Karen Brown/Beasley

    As always, such a great explore! In America, we would call that home design a split level or home with "a walk out basement". It's good that it will be salvaged as it is a beautiful home.

    • @VacantHaven

      I agree, I live in Utah, not very many homes like it. In fact, it's a rarity. However, UNDERGROUND homes, there used to be many, with the top 4 or 5 feet of the roof sticking out at most, like the one my mom grew up in (WITH 6BROTHERS AND 1 SISTER! HOLY CRAP,) its gone now, whew, it's neat to see the difference in the countries.

    Sadly this large property caught fire In 1941, being thatched, a spark from the chimney with a lack of water supply ,the fire took hold and destroyed. The furniture was saved but that only narrowly escaped when one of the large chimneys fell. It was indeed a beautiful house and of an era when in 1936 it was still design fashionable to thatch such a large house. During the war years the property was left and from the burnt shell they created a house from the basement and ground floor with a flat roof. So sad for from the photographs it was a magnificent home . Thank you Alex and the guys !(It has planning permission to be replaced , so I presume that is why it has been left to decay !!! Hope they save the piano and reclaim the front door which survived the fire !)

    Theres an article from Harpers Bazaar 2017 featuring photos of Dana Zeera out on the front lawn of that house. I imagine these houses can be incredibly expensive in upkeep, could be why she left. I don't get why she left that Piano and all the music equipment behind.🤔

My concern would be the piano as I love instruments but not left astray like this gem. Why would anybody leave it behind 🤔 There is specialists out there who know how to handle pianos for bringing in to homes etc and out again. A lot involved taking care of pianos.
