From the outside, Old Crow Cottage looks just like an old, neglected building. The cottage, which is in Willersley, Herefordshire, has quite a reputation with the locals.

It is quite clearly falling apart, but it is only when we get inside that we truly understand what makes this house so special.

The cottage has stood empty for years, and everything the owners left behind is exactly where they abandoned it.

The everyday belongings become incredibly eerie, covered in dust and abandoned for years.

Paintings and images from the past are dotted throughout the house, perhaps of previous residents.

Newspapers and letters from the past are strewn across the floors, creating almost a time capsule back to the past.

The cottage was originally part of a farm, and later became a pub called the Crow Inn.

Over the years the locals have reported seeing lights flickering in the cottage, creating whispers that it is haunted.

Whilst not much is known about the owners, the last known owner of the property was killed in a tragic car accident outside the property, which only adds to the local rumors.

Due to recent local developments, the house is due to be demolished, and locals are now beginning to petition to save this historic building.
