有一座香港二級歷史建築的大宅,採用兩層式英國建築設計,二樓建有騎樓,以紅磚砌成的外牆,配上白色的樑柱,半圓形的屋頂,屋頂架設一枝避雷針。屋前有一座歐洲式噴水池,周邊的平房比較,別樹一格。大宅被荒廢數十年,未見有任何修葺,內部破舊多雜廢物,屋外樹木叢生。
近日屋內二樓疑似有人曾舉行靈異儀式,留下十隻紅色綉花布鞋及八個鏡子陣式,更添神秘色彩。
大宅原為新界鄉紳蔡氏所有,1944年屋主死後,家人相繼遷走,大宅便長期丟空並屢傳曾有七人淹死並鬧鬼,深夜時分有人聽到女子淒厲的呼叫聲及喊聲,傳聞未經證實。
2007年曾列為一級歷史建築,2010年降至二級。
There is grade II historic mansion with red brick wall and a 2-storey British architecture. The second floor has a balcony, with white beam columns and a semi-circular roof. There is a European-style fountain in front, standing out when compared to the surrounding low-rise buildings. The house has been abandoned for decades without repair, lots of junk and miscellaneous items inside with bushes and vines outside.
It is suspected a mysterious ceremony has been performed on the second floor, leaving 10 red embroidered shoes and eight mirror in formation, adding to the enigma.
The mansion was owned by a rich Choi family. After the death of the owner in 1944, the family members moved away and the house abandoned. It was said that 7 people were drown there and it is haunted. Unsubstantiated rumours have it that during the night, some people heard the women screaming and crying.
In 2007, it was listed as a Grade I historical building and downgraded to Grade II in 2010.
