大宅建於1933-36年,是一幢2層高的建築,融合了中西風格,配有圓石柱,雕有石刻的牆壁、木製的門杉,中央光井樓上有模製混凝土欄杆。

前花園裏有一個門樓,工人宿舍及2個餵鳥塔。

2019 年年尾落實活化計劃,活化構思擬保留其客家建築特色,並參照原來建築設計面貌復修,糅合中西設計風格,活化後將租予社企。

城市探索基於以下原則:除了拍照外,別無其他,不留痕跡,不透露位置。

Avid urban explorers Sacha from UK, Lene from Denmark, Singaporean Tia and Elizabeth from US venture into an abandoned Hakka mansion, a Grade III Historic Building in Yuen Long, to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Built in1933-36, the mansion is a 2-storey building blending Chinese and Western styles, with stone pillars, sculpted stone walls, wooden gate threshold, and moulded concrete railings around the central lightwell on the upper floor.

There is a gate tower, servants’ house, Bird feeders in the front garden.

A revitalisation plan was confirmed at the end of 2019. The plan intends to retain its Hakka architectural characteristics, and to restore it with reference to the original design, with Chinese and Western styles, for leasing to social enterprises afterwards.

Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
