So i had posted this on the your day in pics and got asked about the history. I thought it would be great to share with the group as its right out of a classic british horror story in some ways. This is a big reason i have been away from the group finalising getting this property and the time it has taken to move in etc. Here is a great link to some of the history. I will try and find the original aution brochure from when the house was sold it lists one statue of satan [Smile]

Wow! Talk about a home with some history!

I would love to see what your home theater space will look like.

Considering the face that a Hell "garden" existed on the property, I think a screening of "Haxan" or Withcraft through the Ages on Super 8 would be very appropriate.

Sensational property you have there Will!
Well done indeed. [Smile]

An open air showing of 'The Omen' would go down well methinks. Love the house.

Very nice historic house William! Is the pit still there? If not you should re-build it.

The article lists a former owner as a maltster so I'll be thinking about your home when at the Nottingham Beer Festival tomorrow [Wink]

Wow!
What a bargain, you couldn't get a 2 Bed London apartment for that!
What's the catch?

It's haunted! [Eek!]

If the price was very good, I'd be worried that former residents were too terrified to carry on living there!

If you're willing to allow it to be used as a film location, I know one or two people that may well consider using it one day, at least for a short film.
