We all remember the days when our imagination had no limits, when every corner held the possibility of a hidden treasure or a secret world. As we grow older, these fantastical adventures become distant memories, but that doesn’t mean life doesn’t hold surprises for us.
Imagine this: you buy a new house, excited about the possibilities of making it your own. Little did you know that a hidden door would change everything. This is exactly what happened to a man in the UK, who stumbled upon a secret room through a trapdoor in his newly purchased property.
But that’s not to say they don’t happen.
One new homeowner got a real shock when he was handed the keys to his new home, only to find a trapdoor leading to a secret, underground man cave!
The home in question was originally used as part of an English monastery from the 19th century. The property and its grounds were later converted into 30 modern apartments, one of which was purchased by the man in this story.
Apparently he got a good price for the apartment, as well as the bonus of a hidden room he hadn’t even know existed!
In front of the bathroom door, he found a handle on the floor leading to another area beneath the floorboards.
At first glance, the door looks like it leads simply to a small storage area. Yet when the man followed the stone steps descending down into the dark, he found something else entirely…
It turned out the space was far bigger than he had realized, even if it does more resemble a dungeon from a by-gone era than it does any sort of cellar or extra living space.
Even so, it raises a whole lot of questions, not least what the area might have been used for in the past?
