I am with you on that point. How could anyone really feel "at home" in a something this huge?

Lord Nelson didn't live there, it was bought after the battle by the Crown and presented to his brother with an annual pension of £9,000 (a lot then !) It is Grade 1 listed so I hope it will be sympathetically restored and wasn't just bought by an Oligarch or similar on a whim. It would be interesting to know who owns it now.

Me to. This video inspired me to look into the ownership of that property. I came across other videos of explorers that had gone through Trafalgar Park and were contacted by the Police. HOW RIDICULOUS! The owners are just trying to cover their backs for allowing a GRADE I property to sink into the shape it has. I have discovered that the current owners live in the South WIng and have just allowed the rest of the property to disinagrate. According to other videos I have seen about this property it has now been sealed and secured. WHICH it should have been done in the first place. The House is associated with Lord Nelson, whom is on the same level as The Duke of Marlborough and the Duke of Wellington. Both of those men's homes are attractions because of the honor they brought to the United KIngdom. If the current owner can not afford it then they should look at sellling to the National Trust and not fussing when people access a home that should be a museum. to Lord Nelson. That house will always be associeted with Horatio Nelson as Blenheim Palace is with the Duke of Marlborough. The current owners are simple custodians of a property that is bigger then them. I wish someone would start a Friends of Trafalgar Park and try and get the Princes Tust involved to preserve the home that was designed to preserve the memory of Lord Nelson.

Admiral Nelson also has a castle in Bronte Sicily called Nelson Castle or Nelson Dukedom given to him by Queen Margerhita of Spain.. A former 17th century abbey. He never lived in it. The Italian gov took over the castle, I wish they would restore it. One of the Dukes gave the surrounding lands to farmers. My family was one of those who inherited the land.

I lived in Downton and used to run past the chapel every morning. I had no idea the house was that beautiful or accessible. You've made me realise just what I missed out on. Well done and thank you for that insight.

Great deal of cooking in basement. Bread kiln, meat hooks, root cellar, well and a cook fireplace. Kept the heat down and it was cooler.

It was never Viscount Nelson's home, but given to his family after his death

The most recent owner had allowed various films shot there including "28 Days', 'Sense and Sensibility' , and 'Amazing Grace' as per Wiki. Also a place for board retreat meetings. Hopefully the restoration of the entire building goes smoothly. In the cellar, brick the stone stairs have ramped edges for probably beer or wine barrels to roll on. At least the roof seems to be intact (in contrast to the old Widener Estate outside of Philadelphia where the neglected roof has allowed rain and snow in for 60 years.). I am sure a lot of volunteers would be happy to help out with the small bits (and leave the intricate plastering, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, structural, masonry, etc..to the profressionals.) It is a massive project given all the rooms. Hopefully one day it can be turned into a complete home, and events/conference center, or an exclusive B&B for Royal Navy and Marines families. The surrounding countryside of ancient Standlynch is brilliant and lush. That music room (painted by Cipriani) is very elegant. England needs more professional restorers and should push for better support and tax breaks. IT careers get boring quick.

Amazing explore, can imagine the dances that would have been held in that ballroom xx

Maybe they were given permission? I just can't believe that they went in illegally and got away with it. I just can't. Thieves would be on to this. Maybe they should notify the owners to let them know that anyone can get in and ransack the place. It's only right.

bautiful house , I think Rays paranoia was through the roof ,,,,,lol The historic home, built in 1733 and originally known as Standlynch Park, was acquired by Act of Parliament and given to Nelson's family to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar victory of 1805. Aside from its architecture, the property's most impressive feature is perhaps the Music Room. The walls are hand-painted by 18th century Italian painter, Giovanni Battista Cipriani.

I have a hard time keeping up my 1500 square foot home. I can't imagine the work needed to restore and keep this place in good condition.

Firstly, Patricia, it was never Nelson's home - sorry if you were misled by the video. It is just one of many property investments purchased years after his death, by his elder brother, Rev. William Nelson, who received the benefit of of all the pensions and other payments that a grateful country bestowed upon Horatio both before and after his death. Nor is the house in disrepair. It's called Trafalgar House, near Downton in the Wiltshire Avon valley, and was undergoing major refurbishment when these local lads broke in to make their video. It's now on the market, for sale, fully refurbished, through Strutt & Parker, if you'd like to make an offer! 😇 If you are interested in Nelson's story, we are having a good exchange at the top of this thread. Best wishes, Michael.

Wow amazing explore Alex, loved this what a beautiful building, can't believe it's sat empty, thanks for sharing 👍 great video, and great team, luv Eddie and ray 👍💖xx

Did you notice on the cellar steps that on both sides there was a smooth ramp running down ? It’s to roll the barrels down without carry them to the wine store 👍

That was amazing guy’s thank you for this great explanation!

Such a shame that you had to rush but really enjoyed seeing what we could.Thanks for sharing x

George Vanderput who died in 1800 was an admiral in Nelson navy so there’s another naval link 😀

thanks for the tour guys. I really enjoyed it!

❤ that was a spectacular old home. I very much enjoyed seeing it.

It’s kinda sad that the navy has not acquired this building for suitable purpose like a veterans home or therapy care for those with ptsd

Considering the age of this home, it's in really good condition, it should be lived in by a family or a museum, amazing place with such history, imagine if those walls could talk,

You actually commented that it was nice and cool there ! The well was obviously for drainage of the room!
