Four-bedroom Victorian home has wowed house-hunters as it hits market – but wait until you see horrors that lurk inside
The home's fireplace is particularly eerie DARK DECOR Four-bedroom Victorian home has wowed house-hunters as it hits market – but wait until you see horrors that lurk inside Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS glamorous Victorian home is known as the "Lavender House' because of its soft, painted exterior. However, the four-bed house - which is on sale for nearly £900,000 - hides a shocking secret. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The home in Hastings has a annexe to use as an Airbnb Credit: rightmove 6 However, the inside of the main home has a sinister feeling Credit: rightmove 6 Mythological fauns are carved into the fireplace Credit: rightmove Located in Hastings, East Sussex, the glamorous Victorian home looks like the ideal house. With high windows looking out to the street, it is one of the biggest houses on the quiet road. It is built in a classical style, which exudes glamour and high class - something topped off by its coat of lavender paint. The front door has an ornate metal pattern and a frosted window, which looks onto a flight of of stairs taking visitors up into the house. However, that whimsical impression quickly begins to fall apart when entering the house. Pictures on Rightmove reveal that a pair of Renaissance-style saloon doors lead to a cupboard under the stairs, but things get really creepy when you head further in. The fireplace is decorated with a ghoulish design, depicting medieval style fauns lifting cherubic children into trees. The fauns have horns growing from their heads and their goat-like legs, complete with cloven hooves. Also, the house comes with a 'very traditional' toilet, with a wooden seat and 'thunderbox' fittings. Most of the walls are painted in a ghostly lime green and all of the floss are made of wood, which Rightmove says gives the impression that the house is 'breathing'. Iconic Grand Designs 'perfect' house which couple spent 20 years 'painstakingly' renovating hits market for £1.5million The huge rooms - set across three floors - are sparsely furnished, save for Victorian-style furniture. Much of the furnishings are covered in white shrouds, matching the lacey curtains cloaking the windows. The house is currently owned by an artist, who converted a separate annexe to the rear into an AirBnB letting. The seller is asking for £899,950 for the home which is a 15 minute walk to Hasting's station. It sits in the famous All Saints Street, which has several pubs and houses built in classical styles. Hastings made headlines just months ago, after another glamorous home went on sale in the area. St Ann's Cottage on Castle Hill Road has five-bedrooms as well as a centuries-old cave. The 18th-century home was on sale for £600,000 after being listed at £350,000 just a year earlier. 6 The toilet is built in a very old-fashioned style Credit: rightmove 6 The walls are painted in an eerie lime green Credit: rightmove

This Morning guest left gobsmacked by staggering valuation of family heirloom live on air
A This Morning guest was left stunned as she discovered how much a family heirloom that had been passed down through three generations is worth. A guest on This Morning was gobsmacked to discover that a family heirloom, treasured for three generations, was valued at £1,000. In a special segment of the ITV daytime show, antiques expert Dan Hatfield attended a fair in Bolton to chat with individuals about their cherished possessions. One woman was astounded when she learned the value of a Victorian till handed down from her great-grandmother. The guest, Louisa, recounted how the till originated from Liverpool and was rescued from disposal by her great-grandmother, who worked as a cleaner. She shared, "We've had this till for three generations, and this is also in my spiritual hubs," reports the Manchester Evening News. Louisa disclosed that it's become a tradition for visitors to press the till and make a wish, hoping it will bring them good fortune. Upon discovering £20 inside the till, Dan announced, "I'm going to deliver you some good news." He explained, "This is one in 480,000 made, however, the quality of this is sublime. There are very few in the world of this calibre." Dan, clearly passionate about his field, expressed, "Very exciting when it comes to Victorian tills - I am that kind of sad person that gets excited by Victorian tills. The value of this is £1,000." "Wow!" Louisa replied. "I'm very surprised, there's no value to it because obviously it's family but I did not think it was that much." The expert also revealed that another participant's collection of Disney memorabilia was similarly valued at £1,000. Regarding a Peter Pan ship model, he stated, "You're looking at about £1,000 for that," and a Mickey Mouse toy lantern was appraised at an equivalent amount. "This amazing 1930s lantern-before Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix-is how the kids entertained themselves. You had your own cinema at home. "Look how preserved this is," he continued, labelling the lantern as "highly collectible" due to its rarity. This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
