Four bedroom home looks normal from the outside… but wait until you see what's hidden behind closed doors
THIS four bedroom home may look completely normal from the outside - but there's a hidden secret inside.
The Grade-II listed house that was once home to Lord Byron has hit the market for £850,000.

Centrally located, the Nottingham residence is hard to miss.
It boasts four bedrooms spread across 3,287 square feet and is steeped in local history.
Since Byron's days there, the building has been "sympathetically restored" and has all the modern amenities a family could need.
This includes a bespoke kitchen, two reception rooms and four bathrooms.
The home is decorated in neutral tones with stylish finishes throughout and is flooded with natural light, according to Luxury Property News.
Accessed via a driveway with gated access, its based in the historic St James' Street in the city centre.
Meanwhile the outside space consists of a courtyard with patio decking and raised planters for a 'low maintenance' garden space.
The house is currently available with Savills who described it as a 'magnificent property full of light'.
But while it may have many impressive features, underneath the house is every bit as note-worthy.
A stunning labyrinth of caves lurks beneath the historic property.
We moved into a caravan in my mother-in-law's garden for a year, sure it was cramped but we saved £20k
They're used as cellars that spread across two basement levels beneath the main living spaces above.
The space has lighting, electrics and heating too and can be used for multiple purposes.
The property was home to Lord Byron between the ages of 10 and 12 before he became one of Britain's most celebrated poets.
A plaque adorns the front of the house dedicated to Byron explaining that he lived there between 1798 and 1799.
Other homes with hidden secrets aren't uncommon either - although some are more impressive than others.
The Sun recently reported on an eccentric home in Shropshire with a peculiar feature within.
The home comes complete with an exposed toilet at the top of the stairs providing a live studio audience experience on the loo.
While another home in Blackpool has undergone a jaw-dropping transformation even though it looks entirely ordinary from the outside.
The owners spent nearly two years converting the modest semi-detached property into a high-spec holiday home complete with a private nightclub and cinema room.
It even has space for 24 guests with nine en-suite bedrooms and 15 beds.
