Eerie images of an old abandoned coffin maker's house and workshop have been shared online.

The photos, taken by urban explorer Jake, show a derelict property in Nantwich, Cheshire, that has been reclaimed by nature after being left untouched for years.

One building is almost completely obscured by greenery.

A number of coffins can be seen lying around outside, some with lids left open as if waiting to be occupied, reports The Manchester Evening News.

Other items include an old top hat, a dusty baby's cot, probably once part of a pram and lots of documents, including cremation papers and copies of the magazine Mind Alive, which was published in the 60s and 70s.

The magazine ran articles "covering seven areas of Human Knowledge: Geography, Biology, Man and Medicine, Ideas, Physical Science, The Arts, and History".

There's also a rusty Bedford truck, a caravan, a greenhouse and a workshop - all left to deteriorate.

The windows on the main house have been broken and the white front door sits open. Inside, the rooms are full of broken furniture, peeling wallpaper, old bedding and other abandoned household items.

Although it doesn't look like anyone has properly lived in the house for some time, there are signs squatters may have camped there more recently.

Historic letters from the Second World War were also left lying around at the property in Fife, Scotland.

The exterior of the stone building is crumbling and gradually being consumed by nature with leaves, branches and moss attaching themselves to it.

The woman lived alone at the property, dubbed the 'House of Sadness', after her husband died years ago.

But her clothes are still folded in her wardrobe while her false teeth remain resting above the decaying sink.

Documents found inside suggest that the woman's name was Ann Harrison who died in 2003 aged 73.
