Curious urban explorer Sean Urbex took photos inside the derelict building – and captured some spooky scenes which he then shared with his followers on social media
An urban explorer has revealed his creepy findings after stumbling across an eerie derelict care home.
Sean Urbex decided to explore the site, which has been left to rot for around five years in East Sussex, and uncovered abandoned beds, baby dolls and mould-covered photos still inside.
From the outside, the building looks unremarkable – but the inside tells a different story. “The care home seemed so clean and fresh on the outside so we were surprised to see how smelly, damp and mouldy it was inside,” Sean, from Kent, told What’s The Jam.
“There were photos on the walls completely covered in black spores. It was shocking to see all the equipment, and beds left behind.”

Sean continued: “Care homes are always quite sad explores, especially when you know people were mistreated here. We were able to explore the building by walking right through the front door! The care home closed in 2020 and has had an uncertain future.”
Sean took to Instagram to share some chilling snaps from inside the care home, including dolls left perched on ledges, rotting ceilings, a commode in a hallway, and machinery once used to move patients.
Other images reveal a mouldy bathroom, an abandoned living room with an old armchair and bookcase, and decaying rugs and furniture.
Sean said the explore was both “shocking and fascinating” – a haunting glimpse into a forgotten place frozen in time. Social media followers were quick to agree. “Creepy looking,” one wrote, while another joked: “Bit mouldy that.”
“Love how you opened the series with the doll. Braavo!” said a third and a fourth said: “Wow shame it got in the state its in x good pictures.”
It comes after another urban explorer offered a glimpse inside a luxurious British mansion left to rot after it was abandoned on one of the UK’s most expensive streets.
The property, which has been forgotten about, was once a lavish, well-kept home. But it has become a popular location for urban explorers who are keen to find out more about the spooky house.
A video posted to TikTok shows a group of explorers walking around the derelict and abandoned mansion. It has huge steps that curl around to the first floor from the foyer area and huge columns to support the roof hanging over the entrance.
MyLondon reports the inside of the house was found adorned with graffiti on the walls and debris scattered everywhere. The light fixtures are missing and the ceiling has holes in it.
It is not clear initially where the mansion is, but a user has claimed it could be on Bishop’s Avenue – a road in East Finchley known as one of the most affluent streets in the world and often referred to as ‘Billionaire’s’ Row’.
