AN ABANDONED mansion worth just shy of £7 million is decked out with a cinema, a pool and boasts multiple bedrooms but due to be demolished.
The sprawling £6.8 million ($8.1m) East Coast home is complete with plenty of amenities but also shows sign of wear and tear.

The 9,000 sqft luxury property is kitted out with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and an in-ground pool with its own pool house.
The mansion also features an elegant winding staircase and stunning panelled windows but its paint is peeling and floorboards are beginning to wear.
Canadian Urban explorer Dave was stunned at the sheer size of the US property which spans a whopping four acres.
Tucked within its three floors, which include an attic and basement are a cinema and basketball court with its own TV and bar.
Dave, whose full time gig is in marketing, claims the place was abandoned in 2019 but had plans to be demolished in the future.
He noted that while some there were some obvious signs of decay, the property’s beauty has otherwise remained intact.
The Ontario man said in a video: “Come with me as we delve into the remnants of this majestic home exploring its decaying beauty.
“This place is huge, just look at this room.
“These doors are nice, wow, and look at this staircase – this is beautiful. I can’t believe how many rooms there are in this house.”
The house was reportedly first built in 1928 and according to the Dave, was crafted by a renowned architect for his family.
After a successful career, the original owner sold the property to a New York stockbroker.
The mansion then changed hands many times over the years until 2019 when it was purchased with plans for demolition.
Dave explained: “In 2022, experts proved that there had been such significant renovations made to the home over the past 100 years that it could no longer be viewed as an excellent example of an English Norman-style house.
“It can no longer be considered a historic building and since it underwent major alterations, it could no longer be considered the work of a master.
“For now, the large mansion sits abandoned and decaying until its date with the wrecking ball is made.”
