They also spotted large grand fireplaces, a bathtub, chaise lounge chairs, and a pink wagon as just some of the treasures left behind.

Maia told the Daily Record: "I saw videos of my friends going there and being there was quite scary.

"At first we thought there were other people there because we thought we heard voices, then we weren’t sure.

"The silence is peaceful until you hear the occasional creek of the floors.

"It’s quite sad how such a beautiful building has just been left to let nature take over."

In its heyday, the extravagant manor boasted 22 rooms and was reportedly decorated to mimic Coco Chanel's Paris apartment.

It was considered her secret hideaway and still holds many of her luxury items.

An undisclosed offer made by a foreign buyer has now been accepted on the property, although it is understood the house and 700-acres of grounds will take millions to restore.
