It's a spacious mansion in rural France - a highly desirable property.

So why it has remained empty since 1998 remains something of a mystery.

The stately building, located in the Nord-pas-de-Calais region, was abandoned nearly two decades ago and yet appears to be almost perfectly preserved.

Here, offering a rare glimpse inside, images from Vacant Photography reveal the remnants of human habitation scattered throughout the rooms; from music resting on the piano to soap products in the bathroom and slippers placed next to the bed.

Currently on sale by a local estate agent for the bargain price of £115,000, the house remains shrouded in unanswered questions.
