According to the Daily Star newspaper reported on August 26, in Wales, England, an old house called "Red Manor" by locals will be renovated and sold after more than 40 years of abandonment. The dilapidated and maddening house sold for as much as £700,000 (about 6.367 million yuan).
The History of the Red Mansion dates back to 1725, and the last time a resident moved in was in the 1970s. Located in Lanamanech, Bourse County, Welsh, it once belonged to a dairy farm and has an official name , Calcott Hall " .
After nearly 50 years of abandonment, vandalism and bad weather, the house is dilapidated both on the outside and inside, while the interior retains the living utensils of its former homeowners. Because the long red dress hanging from the wardrobe gave people a sense of horror, the old house was named "Red Manor".
The four-bedroom mansion also comes with 2.3 acres of land. In addition to legal ownership of the land, the owner will have access to 36 acres of farmland (about 146 square kilometers) and additionally negotiate the right to fish in the nearby river Vernuil.
The Red Manor is said to have not found a new owner since the death of its former homeowner, Ellen Jones. Over the years, people have taken pictures of houses that have captured people's hearts with their terrifying images. Locals say Ellen died inside the house, so in the past, many teams studying paranormal phenomena have visited old homes.
The utensils Ellen used during her lifetime remain in place. When she was young, Alan, with her pretty short hair and a long red dress, still hangs on the wall. Once upon a time, this long dress was also in the house, hanging in the closet. Later, the dress disappeared, and another red dress mysteriously appeared in the house's wardrobe. In addition to the red dress, the sheets on Ellen's bed, the wallpaper with the pattern of flowers on the wall are still preserved. Peeling wallpaper reveals a wall made of boulders, reminiscent of the interior style of the houses of that era when the dairy farm was first built.
On the floor lay some letters from Ellen and the deceased. Family photographs are lined up and neatly arranged above the stove, and the people inside are long gone. A thick layer of ash covers the armchair and seat cushions. There are even dishes to be washed in the kitchen sink and cooking utensils in the drawers. In the living room there is a broken television set and a floor-to-ceiling pendulum clock. Traces of time remain quietly on one artifact after another.
Because there are many holes in the roof and many collapses in the floor to reach the cellar, it is currently dangerous to enter the interior of the house directly. Nevertheless, the main body of the house, after repair, can also be restored to function. According to the local real estate agent responsible for the sale of the Red Mansion, the application process for the renovation of the old house is already underway, and once the permit is obtained, the main body of the house will be renovated and the warehouse will be transformed into 7 fully functional residences.
