A GEORGIAN townhouse on the market for £ 825,000 in downtown Nottingham is hiding an incredible secret underneath a floor plank.
The great four-bed house, located next to a historic castle, has four bathrooms and a garden facing south – but there’s another hidden feature that adds to the hefty price tag.
It has its own cave – and the extra space has been turned into a unique wine cellar.
The bonus room, carved in sandstone, is fully equipped with electric lights as well as a rack for the current owner’s extensive wine collection.
But that’s not the only reason this property is capable of attracting bidders.
The giant house, built in the late 18th century, covers 4,000 square feet – and is one of the city’s top restaurants right on its doorstep.
Jane Dixon, a real estate consultant at real estate agent FHP Living, said: “This is an impressive second-class Georgian townhouse, built in the late 18th Century.
“Within walking distance of the city center and its associated amenities, it is also close to the corner of medieval St James’s Terrace and St James’s Street, two of Nottingham’s original five lanes.
“These five lanes make up Nottingham’s great medieval road and are known as Mount Street, St James Street, Friar Street, Hounds Gate and Castle Gate.”
The accommodation’s five floors include an entrance hall, an open space living room and kitchen, and a kitchen island.
On the first floor, the lucky new owner will find a living room and a guest bedroom, while the second floor has a large master bedroom and a guest bedroom.
There is another bedroom and bathroom on the top floor, while downstairs there is an office and cinema room, both with domed ceilings.
Surprisingly, this is not the only Nottingham house with an inner cave.
An apartment nearby, sold during the winter, boasts a cave converted into a movie theater.
The room must be led up by a stone staircase leading down from the living room to the space below the property.
The new owner will find the cave behind a glass door installed in the apartment’s living room.
It’s packed with everything movie buffs need for a modern cinema experience, including a flat-screen TV and four comfortable leather back armchairs.
The room in the cave is even complete with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, as well as a large wine chiller.
Another property in Nottingham is with a cave used as a cellar Go up for sale in 2018. This quirky home also boasts a tiny ‘turret’ room that offers space to curl up with a book – or a glass of wine downstairs.
