A month or so ago I received a newsletter about the proposed development of a Golf Estate on the Woodacres farm and surrounding area. I'd always wanted to photograph there, but it was only until I heard that the farm stood deserted, that I decided to record the farm in photos.
It is a beautiful piece of ground with wonderful views of the Perdeberg and surrounds. The main house called 'Rose Cottage' is built from stone, and I can imagine how beautiful it must have been with a garden, and children running around.
Now it is just a shellof it'sformer glory, with very little left of the interior. The scavengers had done an excellent job at bringing the place to it's architectural knees.

Really interesting blog. I lived at Woodacres Farm for 3 years (25 years ago). I was sent recent photos of the remains of the house. Today, the farm house is barely recognisable. It is very sad indeed.
Thanks for your comment Geoff. I would appreciate it if you could tell me a bit more about your stay there. Were you family of the owners, waht was the area like etc,
