Only lions may enter here...!

A rather impressive set of gate posts with the colonial sounding "Malabar" ........perhaps a stylish property lurking within elegant grounds??
Not a bit of it...instead a very derelict and shabby grey bungalow, clearly and dearly needing a lot of care and repair!! At some point in the past I feel the entrance may have lead to a lovely home....or is that just wishful thinking?
