The end of a house’s useful life:
A sorrowful cottage, seen better days – not much of the roof left soon, so it’s days are numbered:

Oh, dear me, yes! Lots of sorry plights around here 🙂 🙂
Ah, I need to get over….
oh dear it has seen better days hasn’t it, but there again if it wasn’t in such a plight none of us would have ever seen it!
PS love the photo
I would have liked to seen a bit more,, but as my balance isn’t good, I thought it was a risk too far….
Risk for anyone I think . . . you never know what might suddenly decide to move inside
Broken floorboards, ceiling about to come down….need I go on? But when I was fit and healthy, there are times when I would have had a bit of a look…..
Precisely!
Good spot!
😊😊
Quite sorrowful Sue 😦
It was, Brian
So sad to see abandoned cottages in the countryside … but evocative as well, as your shot demonstrates.
Evocative is precisely the word!
As an estate agent would say. ” A charming cottage in need of some restoration”. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Some??😳
I’m surprised it hasn’t been snapped up by a renovator! Where exactly is it ?
Southern Ireland, and apparently there are a lot of these…
Ah. That makes sense, rural areas are probably not sought due to no employment.
Precisely
So odd to see that electrical fixture in the center letting you know that the demise is more recent than you might guess from the photo.
Oh yes, I would think probably less than a decade
It went downhill very fast then.
Well,,I’m only guessing…
I like the remains of the net curtains, Sue And I’m very glad it’s not my house! What a plight!
What a plight indeed….to quote Elliott “Dust in the air suspended, marks the place where a story ended”
I’m gradually waking up to —light challenge. It opens the way nicely for your verbal cleverness, and for your decay photography.
I like the idea of my verbal cleverness,Meg!!
To add to the estate-agent-speak – a house with potential.
Hahahah
I don’t think so!!
