Report - Coombe Park (Outbuildings and Vehicles) - Berkshire - January 2018

[Andrew32]

Throughout my explore of this place, I witnessed far more than just an old house (as some seem to quote it as). Here's a few interesting other things i came across.

Explore
After evading neighbours and suspected security many times (Stable house is currently lived in for some reason) I sneaked into the first building I spotted, a little bungalow known as Timber Lodge.
Timber Lodge

BMW 320CI SE 2002
This was not something i was ever expecting to come across, a relatively modern bmw! The derelict look of a modern vehicle really looks great.

The Pleasuredome
After checking the brochure by the estate agent, this was technically an 'indoor' tennis court, but the previous owners turned this place into what i think was a place to watch sports (or whatever a pleasuredome is for).

Liebherr 902 Excavator
After seeing this just the night before on someone elses report, I really wanted to find it. It took a while to find, but through some thick trees it appeared. I believe It was left here after the track came off, and i guess it couldn't be fixed.

Boathouse
After spending ages trekking through a forest to get to this little house, there really wasn't much on offer. The upstairs area was completely sealed shut, and the downstairs offered little but a rowing boat.

i couldn't care less really, once this place is gone (and that'll be soon) people will look back on it to before it got trashed and/or gone.

Suppose that makes sense, why would it have been left there then?

I don't think architecturally it has much merit but if anyone is concerned that it will be torn down by some sheikh and replaced by a gaudy golden palace, then you could always request it to be Listed by West Berks council. It doesn't have to be the homeowner who requests it.

You have been an arse towards me since i joined this forum for no reason.
Thanks for reading my report that you didn't think i would put up btw

Maybe talking to the caretaker and you would find these things out. They tried to take it apart but where caught and it was left in that condition.

I Doubt it will be demolished i just think it will be secured and alarmed look at the place..

And with all these youtubers selling videos of ot to the daiky fail. And doing there stupid acts it wont be long till this hobby is no longer civil but criminal trespass. Youtubers going unto live sites just to get likes and then saying they are urban explorers and damaging peoples property on camera....

Especially once the teenagers with sledgehammers and spray cans step in, the estate agents will really have to step up security on the place, the longer this goes on the less likely they are to sell it, Especially for the 10mil asking price.

That was quick then. The caretaker told me that someone not long ago bought it guess they have put it on market.

I thought you'd no intention of going there and have never been?

And for the record I'm not intentionally being an arse to you, I just have a low tolerance for people who bullshit.

No one here is bullshitting would you like to team view my pc and see all my folders of exploers of places i have been to over the past 8 years. ..

And maybe i don't have to tell you if i have or have not been somewhere..
maybe i say i have not been because i don't want to bait places up or instantly stick them up after visiting said place..
please don't interact with me again. cheers
