Hidden door1/4/2024 ![]() ![]() We decided that we’d go round to our neighbours’ tomorrow morning and tell him about the doorway, and suggesting we brick it up or something (I didn’t really feel comfortable about having this access point into our house). But at this point, I was pretty excited that we’d found a secret door, so I largely overlooked its oddness.Īll the houses in our street have cellars, so I assumed it must be an old doorway leading through to next door’s cellar.

It was plain wood, and the door handle had been removed so that it was flat. ![]() And that’s when we found the door.Ĭovered up with wallpaper, the door was set into the wall. It looked old as hell, and I assumed it was put up decades ago. The cellar has a stone floor, but the walls were covered in this horrible, yellowed floral wallpaper.

When we first moved in we kept wine and stuff down there (because my wife liked the idea of telling people we had a ‘wine cellar’) but it got annoying going down there every time so we stopped using it. Our house is an old Victorian terrace house, and so the cellar is cold and damp. My wife and I have lived in our house for around 5 years, and in that time we’ve probably been down into the cellar a handful of times.
