MOULDY sex dolls and creepy masks have been uncovered inside a murder mansion dubbed the “house from hell” .

Porn magazines and sordid photos were among items discovered at the former brothel in Paignton, Devon, where a man was murdered more than two decades ago.

Condemned property 3 Keysfield Road – which was renowned for hosting wild sex parties – was dubbed the “house from hell” by neighbours.

Urban explorers found boxes piled high with sordid images of a blonde girl with a group of men at the abandoned Victorian villa.

Kayleigh Coulston and Proving Demons were left in shock at their “freaky” discoveries in the house, including a blow-up doll and horrifying masks.

At several points in the video, they remark to one another that many of the items are not suitable to be shown on YouTube.

In footage posted online, Kayleigh says: “Oh no – it’s a sex doll.

“I did not think we would find that in here. At least she is deflated!

“That is so weird – so freaky. I can just tell we’re going to be in for a field day at this place.

“Already we’ve found a DVD cover which obviously I can’t film and now we’ve found a blow-up naughty doll.

“I’m trying not to film some of it because I can see on the floor there are a lot of dirty articles.

“Unfortunately YouTube will not let me get away with that one.”

They pull out a variety of porn magazines from piles of rubbish on the floors and tables, including a copy of Loaded’s ‘Big Sexy Orgy’ from 2003.

The house – now being turned into 14 flats – was the scene of a gruesome murder in 2000.

Dad-of-three David Maher was killed after he was hit over the head with a monkey wrench by drug dealer Peter Mann in a row over cocaine.

Mann later dumped the body at a nearby dairy depot. He was jailed for life.

The homeowner Angela Claydon, who was the girlfriend of Mann at the time, was also convicted of trying to cover up the crime and helping the killer flee the country.

She was jailed for nine months following the trial in 2002.

The house was closed by cops in 2010 following complaints from neighbours about drug-taking, prostitution and anti-social behaviour.

Residents reported seeing people urinating and defecating in the grounds outside the house.

It was the first home in Paignton to be the subject of a closure order.

On the same day police were set to put a closure order on the building, firefighters had been called to the property after Peter Heron tried to burn the house down.

The 43-year-old was jailed for 28 months after he used a blowtorch and had the gas turned on in while other tenants were still inside.

In 2017, “rogue landlady” Claydon was also found guilty of allowing the property to be occupied – despite a prohibition order banning people from living there.

Newton Abbot Magistrates’ Court heard that residents and police officers had seen people on the site.

The fire service had entered the property in November 2016 to rescue an occupant, thought to be aged in his 40s, during a fire in which a dog died.

The former multiple-occupancy house has been described by local police as “a blot on the landscape”.

Council planners gave the nod to convert the crime-hit derelict home into flats in 2020.

Work is now underway to breathe new life into the sordid site.

At a planning meeting, Councillor Barbara Lewis said the property had been the source of problems for residents and the development would improve and regenerate the area.

She added: “All the residents of Keysfield Road will be delighted.”
