A terraced house with its own secret tunnel is on sale for £475,000.
The four-bedroom, Grade II-Listed Georgian property was part of a bigger property back in the 1800s.
It was built for a surgeon and then split into two separate homes in 1911.
But remnants of the building’s old tunnelling system are still very much intact.
Underneath the house is a brick-built passageway that leads out of the property.
There is an old covered well, a wine store, and evidence of former underpasses that have long since closed off.
The tunnel is believed to have been part of a bigger underground network in the town, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The listing reads: “This area is well lit with modern wall lighting and would have, at some point, led out to the stables associated with Gloucester House and provided an entrance for the deliveries.”
Tower House in Axminster, Devon, is split over four floors.
From the main entrance, along Market Square, you enter the property through a solid wooden front door which leads directly into the kitchen.
This room features a range of kitchen units with granite work surfacing and a selection of free-standing dressers and units, which are also included within the sale.
Exposed floorboards continue through to the main reception room, where there is an attractive fireplace and wood-burning stove.
The inner hallway, which forms part of the staircase extension, has stone steps which continue down to the basement and double doors leading out to the garden.
The basement area has been remodelled with tiled flooring and provides an overflow for white goods, a cloakroom and storage.
On the first floor are two good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath.
On the second floor are two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a shower room.
The listing reads: “Tower House is constructed of brick-built elevations set under a slate tiled roof with tripartite sash windows and a central pilastered doorway providing that classic Georgian symmetrical design.
“The property has been updated in more recent years and blends the classic ceiling heights which you would associate with a property from this period with plenty of natural light and the ease of modern-day conveniences such as gas central heating.
“The current owner has worked with the building to try and retain as much charm and character as possible.”
To the rear of Tower House is a westerly facing garden which has been recently landscaped.
The garden enjoys a wide variety of shrubs and perennials with a seating area that looks out over Axminster and the surrounding countryside.
The southern side boundary features a lovely mellow stone wall, garden store and at the end of the garden, steps lead down to a gated rear access and the tunnel.
The property is on sale with agents Symonds & Sampson with a guide price of £475,000.
