Audrey & Victorias Abandoned House

22/10/2026

The Well House

This beautiful old Tudor cottage built in the 19th century known as The Well House, was once home to Colin and Annette, who raised their only son here.

Annette was a spiritual woman with a love for crystals. When she sadly passed away from cancer in 2010. Colin kept her memory alive, with photographs of her displayed in every room. Having lost the love of his life, he remained in the home they once shared until his own passing in 2021, aged 83.

Colin, a highly intelligent scientist, sadly died inside the cottage. Their only son lives abroad, leaving behind a home filled with memories of the couple who once called it theirs.

Today, The Well House sits abandoned, frozen in time.

Rosemarys House

Once home to Rosemary, a passionate collector whose house had become almost like a giant car boot sale packed with antiques, vintage pieces and rare collectibles. It looks as though someone began boxing up her belongings, perhaps with plans to clear the house, but for some reason they stopped. Rosemary sadly passed away in 2021. Now, the home that once held a lifetime of collecting sits abandoned, with all her belongings.

Beach Lodge Care Home

Once a residential nursing home for adults with learning and physical disabilities, Beach Lodge was run by Sussex Health Care.
Following damning CQC inspections and a police investigation into alleged neglect, rated inadequate twice in 2020 and 2021, reports exposed unacceptable care and a loss of dignity for vulnerable residents. It was shut down with immediate effect in September 2021 leaving patients having to find alternative care.

Alexander & Mona’s Mansion

Once belonging to a very wealthy couple, this huge mansion now sits abandoned, slowly falling into decay.

Alexander was a major figure in Britain’s shipping industry, spending much of his career with P&O. After serving in the Royal Navy during WWII, including the Normandy landings and Arctic convoys, he joined the British India Steam Navigation Company in 1947.

Alexander married Mona in the 1960s and together they had two sons and a daughter. After an 11-year battle with cancer, Alexander sadly passed away in 2005, he was determined to reach his 80th birthday which he did and passed away 12 days later at home.

Mona continued living in the mansion alone until in later life she employed a live in carer named Kathrine. During this time Kathrine accumulated substantial debts registered to the mansion’s address.

Mona sadly passed away in 2024, leaving the enormous property behind. In 2025, the mansion was purchased by developers for around £2 million and now sits empty.

Louise’s House🧶

Louise lived here alone, becoming a recluse. Inside, her home was frozen in time, filled with old retro toys, books and wool for knitting.
When neighbours realised they hadn’t seen Louise for several weeks and noticed she wasn’t even putting her bins out, they became concerned and called the police to carry out a welfare check.
Sadly, Louise was found deceased in her bed upstairs.
With no family to return to the property, the house was simply left behind. Now, years of neglect have taken their toll, and Louise’s once-private world slowly rots away around the belongings she left behind.

Traveller Site

Once run by the council, this former traveller site was given notice in 2017, with residents told they had three years to leave. The land was later sold to a developer, but instead of being redeveloped, it was left abandoned.

Since then, the site has suffered from repeated fires, vandalism and extensive fly-tipping, leaving behind the remains of what was once a lived-in community.

Countryside Mansion

Unfortunately, it looked like renovations had started here before being abandoned and left unfinished. Still some beautiful original features remain inside, with stunning countryside views, a tennis court, swimming pool and even a gatehouse at the entrance.
