On a hill, overlooking Carmarthen Bay, sits the red brick mansion of Iscoed. Work began on the construction of the mansion  in 1772. The choice of red brick was unusual for that part of West Wales.  Iscoed consists of a central three storey block with matching wings on each side. A further  range behind the main block links the two wings together, creating a large courtyard .It was used as a family home by the Mansel family before being sold to Sir Thomas Picton  in 1812. It changed hands again in 1919, but remained a family home until the end of the Second World War. At this point it became owned by the council and converted into flats. Just 15 years later the house had been stripped of its fittings and roof. After passing into private hands again it just avoided demolition due to its owners sudden death in the late 1950’s.

Now Iscoed sits on an overgrown site and ivy clings to the walls. A more recent owner has re-roofed one of the wings and  its windows have  been boarded up. The rest of the mansion remains roofless. Small piles of bricks lie on the floor where lintels have given way. Around the house a few pieces of  plasterwork remain. Looking upwards towards the sky, you see doors hanging precariously  from their rotten frames. With the floors now long gone, exploring Iscoed is a dangerous task. The brick vaulted cellar ceiling is now collapsing leaving holes in the ground floor so it is imperative to tread carefully . The courtyard too is now an overgrown jungle of vegetation.


Unfortunately there was a loud ass 3-day party in the building next door and people high on laughing gas kept asking us to come in their building, but we declined to take pics instead. There's lots...

That's pretty cool, I've been tempted to look around the woods a bit to see if I can find something interesting in there

Should have a look, never know what you might find.

Jerk off in it

Looks like it could be a filming location for an episode of Marble Hornets. In fact, I felt compelled to search every photo for Slenderman, lol.

Video walk around.
