YouTuber The Bearded Explorer explored an unfinished $10 million mansion in the UK with rumored celebrity connections, finding a hidden underground tunnel before police arrived
A YouTuber known as The Bearded Explorer has garnered millions of views after exploring an $10M million abandoned mansion reportedly connected to Hollywood star Johnny Depp and former England soccer captain John Terry.
The impressive estate, situated in Belbins, Romsey, and covering 11 acres, started construction in 2004 but was never finished or lived in. According to the content creator, the 12-bedroom property was only occupied briefly when squatters took up residence in 2012.
While figuring out how to access the mansion, urban explorer Colin Smith made an eerie find: a hidden underground escape tunnel, which he ventured down in an attempt to enter the building.

Using a flashlight to reveal to viewers just how lengthy and pitch-black the thick metal passage was, he said: “This is mad. This was the escape tunnel from the main mansion. I’ll tell you what, it’s nice and cool in here, it really is.”
As he ventured further into the passage, he encountered what he thought was an “escape exit” or “ventilation shaft”.
However, after a few minutes he hit a dead end, which appeared obstructed, with Colin noting: “It looks like it’s been pushed by something on the other side. It’s a shame we can’t get through. You can almost feel a breeze coming through, actually. God, this is so crazy!”
He eventually gained access to the main residence, which remained unfinished but featured the framework of a pool, a subterranean aquarium, an artificial lake, a movie theater, and an underground parking area capable of housing 10 vehicles. While exploring, he even uncovered blueprints showing what the property was intended to look like upon completion.
His exploration was cut short when law enforcement officers showed up to remove him from the premises. Colin informed his audience: “Unfortunately, the police have turned up and are escorting us off-site. Just a big shout out to anyone else wanting to come here – don’t because the place is wired to the police and they will turn up, so don’t waste your time, it’s not worth it.”
In the footage, he explained to the officers that he had been inside the structure for roughly an hour before the security system was triggered.
His audience quickly responded to the haunting estate, with one person stating: “I live just a stone’s throw from this, I pass it every day and always admire the big eagles on the entrance gates!
“Rumors are correct, Johnny Depp supposedly owned it, and talk of our small town was the underground garage! It’s a shame to see it just left to decay!”
Another commented: “The cops on this video were a class act, and it was nice to see how politely the whole thing was carried out.” A third remarked: “Such a beautiful house that was never finished. This is so sad.”
