A very creepy abandoned house in Heather, Leicestershire. Thinking it's Victorian? I heard about it from my son - so of course I had to take a look. I was not expecting this. The house can not be seen from the roadside. There is a long, tree-lined overgrown track leading up to it. The garden is huge with mature trees. Sadly, its now neglected & I'd love to know why...

Heather

When in Heather, you can plan a visit to Bardon Close and Sence Valley Country Park, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.
