SECRETS BENEATH End-of-terrace house looks normal from the outside but hides bizarre secret in sprawling basement – would YOU move in?
A BLACKPOOL guest house has undergone a jaw-dropping transformation and now contains a private nightclub, cinema room, and space for 24 guests.
Wayne and Katie Anne Mylroie have spent nearly two years converting the modest semi-detached property into a high-spec holiday home.

Just a short walk from the promenade, the couple named the property The Fun House.
Announcing the launch on Facebook, the couple said: "After almost two years in the making, we're finally live and we have had our first guests."
Described by the owners as "the perfect party house", the property boasts a "large sociable lounge with custom seating and pool table, a cinema room, a hot tub room and your very own exclusive private basement nightclub."
Inside, the house features nine en-suite bedrooms with 15 beds, offering space for large groups looking to celebrate in style.
"The Fun House has 9 bedrooms all en-suite with 15 beds that sleeps 24 guests," the post reads.
One standout feature is a uniquely designed bedroom with dramatic lighting effects: "It also has the coolest kids/adult room with a light-up lightening clouded ceiling."
Every inch of the property has been carefully designed and finished to an exceptionally high standard.
"It has been completed to the highest standard so you would never want to leave!" the Mylroies added.
With its bold interior, private nightclub and close proximity to Blackpool's attractions, The Fun House is already turning heads as one of the seaside town's most striking new holiday rentals.
The couple might have their work cut out to win the locals over though who claim Airbnbs and short term lets are "ruining" the town.
People living in Blackpool, Lancs, say their lives are being blighted by anti-social behaviour.
They raised their concerns as tens of thousands of holiday-makers are set to flood Britain's resorts and tourist hot spots for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
In England, the short-term let sector is unregulated, except in London where there's a 90-day per year cap on letting out properties.
Blackpool City Council says it's received just one complaint about short-term lets since 2019 – but the council doesn't know how many are in the area.
A total of 16 planning enforcement notices have been issued in the same period.
Residents of the seaside resort town, known for its traditional B&Bs, tell a different story.
One resident said she has operated three hotels in Blackpool's town centre for eight years.
She says the proliferation of Airbnbs and other short-term lets, where owners are not present, have brought the character of the street down – with rooms being used for parties until the early hours of the morning and even prostitution.
She said: 'The ones now, there's nobody there. If somebody's booked a double room, they know the code.
'If they meet friends with a girl, they use that code, go in, use the room, and go out.
'It's like one person's booked the room, a couple who's out for the night and give the code to another couple.
'They use the room and just go out after an hour.'
B&B owners Sandra Spriggs, 52, and husband John, 69, have owned the Bianca Guesthouse on Blackpool's Palatine Road for 20 years.
The couple says they have heard loud stag and hen parties inside unattended AirBNBs.
Sandra said: 'My friend lives next door to an AirBNB. It's bloody noisy, especially in the summer – she actually goes to her daughter's for the weekend so she hasn't got to put up with the noise.'
