The cottage frozen in time
  • Old Crow Cottage was abandoned in 2009 and has been left to rot ever since.
  • The cottage has been left frozen in time for years with more than 300 years of valuables...clothes, pictures, clocks all left untouched.

  • There is even a dress still laid out on the bed in the cottage in Willersley, Herefordshire. 
  • The dressing table is full of bottles of rose water and embrocation.

  • 1960s board games remain laid out in the lounge. 

  • The cottage was once a beautiful Grade-II listed property and served as the village pub. 

  • The last owner of the property is thought to be 72-year-old David Edward Penny, who died last October in a car crash on the road outside.

  • However, although he lived in the property, he left much of it untouched.

  • Many of the rooms have been abandoned for years.

  • To add to the eerie history of the place, locals say they often see lights flickering on and off in the empty property - so many believe the place is haunted.

  • No-one knows why the owners left the property like this.

  • The belongings of the former inhabitants lie under a thick layer of dust. 

  • Newspapers from the 1960s covered the floors in one room - showing how long it is since it was a fully-functioning home.

  • There is an eerie atmosphere inside the abandoned cottage which was once a family home. 
  • When a home is in this condition, the value may lie in the land - which can be sold for development.
