Couple 'confused' by dozens of items found in new home's attic

A couple were left baffled after discovering dozens of belongings in the loft of their new property.

Ebonie and her partner, from Essex, who share videos under the TikTok handle @thereno_at48, relocated to their new home earlier this year.

They have branded the 1920s property as being the "worst on the street" and have been grafting for months to transform the house room by room.

The semi-detached dwelling was left in a dreadful state by the former owner, including numerous belongings and furnishings.

Despite settling into the home earlier this year, it wasn't until recently that the pair decided to venture into the loft and examine the bags and boxes abandoned by previous residents.

The couple revealed some of the discoveries they made in a series of TikTok videos.

The initial few boxes they retrieved from the loft contained books, vintage jewellery boxes with necklaces and earrings inside, wooden ornaments and an incense burner.

Some of the belongings were wrapped in newspaper dating back to 1997, whilst other items suggest they could have been there from 1993.

Also in the loft was an old-fashioned mustard yellow suitcase which held a wedding dress and vintage baby clothes, and a book of stamps from 1997.

There was also a Moses basket wrapped in a bin bag along with a giant wasp, which was over half the size on Ebonie.

After posting the videos on TikTok, one user said: "This is too personal. Please message them to see if they want these back."

Ebonie responded: "I'm going to do a story time on this. A full loft was left and loads of other items in the house. She came back to get them didn't realise she had so much stuff and we put it out the front for her to get and she never came back.

"Bin men threw half her stuff three days later.. I don't know where she lives but it's less than 15 mins walk away. I have no details for her.. and she's made no effort to come back for anything."

In a separate comment she revealed: "She knows it's here.. we've been here five months she never came back."

Fellow users quickly informed Ebonie that several of the discovered items might be worth considerably more than she had anticipated.

One viewer commented: "Vintage baby clothes are worth money."

A second person chimed in: "Vintage baby clothes can make a good amount of money btw."
