A £40 million mansion larger than Buckingham Palace has been left abandoned for more than 20 years in the British countryside. Hamilton Palace, which stands in a quiet, untouched area of East Sussex, boasts a façade longer than the royal palace and was once thought to be one of the most valuable private houses under construction in the UK.
After being empty for decades the neglected country house now resembles something out of a horror movie scene with unsettling warning signs surrounding it, the Mirror reports. The massive house was designed for British multi-millionaire Nicholas Van Hoogstraten, a former property tycoon and now convicted felon but the luxurious palace has remained unfinished for over 37 years since construction first began.
Those looking to gain access are met by signs declaring CCTV to be in operation, “Danger - Shooting in progress” and “Warning, dogs running free”. These signs have been ignored by curious members of the public and urban explorers after photos inside the derelict property emerged last year.
