A couple who were thrilled after purchasing a home together soon saw their excitement turn to horror after they made an unnerving discovery under the stairs of their new property
A couple appear to have got more than they bargained for with their Victorian flat after making a shocking discovery under the stairs of their new abode.
"Under the stairs we knocked it through and then you look through the hole and it is just a f***ing staircase," a caption for the clip reads. After making their way down, the door opens to a "secret room" and "endless tunnels" which it is claimed weren't mentioned by the previous owner or referenced on the deeds.
"Just make the door secure and start renovating each room under you one at a time until you have a massive secured space you can use, no one needs to know," advised one user in response. A fifth person offered an explanation behind the find, writing: "Tunnels or just connected basements. It’s not that uncommon in Victorian houses to have connected lifts and basements it’s only in recent years people have closed them off."
