This abandoned cottage is was of an old lady who probably passed away. This place has a really strange atmosphere considering the electricity still works. Her false teeth are also still on the nightstand.
This is a beautiful location that's still completely intact. During my first visit here (about 5 months ago) it looked pretty much the same. Only there were bullets on the cabinet and those are gone now. On this terrain there is also a caravan here and a car with the keys somewhere in it.
I like this location!

What a fresh abandoned spot!
This place has been abandoned less then a year or so! Never seen a house so intact and so clean! Even the electricity still worked here.
It's a very small house that was the home of a very old mother. I don't know how many kids she had but I know she is a mother because of a poem for mothersday.You can see she was very old and sick probably too. I don't know the reason for abandonment but I think it's one of two things. Or she became very very ill and passed away sadly, or the structural integrity of the building was so bad that she needed to leave there.
The house is in a very good shape but you'll see holes in the ceiling above the bed where water comes in. That's why I think this is a probable cause to leave.
There's lots of medication everywhere, mostly around the bed. So she didn't get out there very much when she was there.
I can rattle about what's there but everything is, even the food in the pots.
In her garden you can find a camper too and a garage. In the garage is an old little workshop and one old Ford. Probably where her husband was working and doing some chores.
It's a beautiful place with all left behind. I hope this old couple can still enjoy their lives outside this house in the best case.
In the worst case I hope they rest in peace.
One of the most intact abandoned places I've ever been in my life.

Op kerst besloten we nog een locatie te doen in onze buurt, we waren er die week al gepasseerd maar waren sceptisch. Het lichtje brandde nog van de deurbel, hierdoor hadden we wat schrik.
We waren dan teruggekeerd en zagen dat de ingang best moeilijk was, we waren bang dat we het stuk zouden maken. Maar gelukkig vonden we nog een andere ingang. Aan de andere ingang kon ik door de ruit naar binnen keken en het leek net alsof iemand in bed lag. Het was gelukkig een andere urbexer die een beeld onder het deken had gestoken zodat het leek alsof iemand in bed lag.
Eenmaal binnen was ik toch verbaasd, het is zo intact. Zelfs elektriciteit en water werkt er nog. Dat vind ik altijd verdacht als we locaties doen. Alsook lag er post op tafel die 2 maanden oud was en eind deze maand moest teruggestuurd worden. Ik veronderstel dat iemand dit huis nog regelmatig komt bezoeken, het ligt er ook enorm proper bij.
Het huisje is klein maar fijn, ik vond de woonkamer het mooiste van allemaal. Het leek alsof de eigenaar ieder moment kon terugkeren naar zijn huisje.
Dit vind ik dan ook de mooiste locaties, ik hou van intacte locaties en deze was toch wel zo. Er was wel wat verval in de ene slaapkamer, het plafond zal naar beneden komen door vocht.
Echter blijf ik er wel bij dat het vreemd is dat recent geopende post op tafel lag. Maar naast dat, ben ik wel enorm blij dat mijn urbexpartner en ik deze locatie konden doen. Heel vreemd dat urbex ook heel dichtbij kan zijn.
