A FOUR-BEDROOM house is selling for under £400,000 and it has a secret pub inside.

The detached pad, in Macclesfield, looks unassuming from the outside with the bedrooms and bathroom looking like any regular house.

The four-bed property is on the market for £399,950

However, downstairs the property features a bar area and a secret pub.

It is on the market for £399,950 but there is no mention of the hidden secret.

It previously used to be a popular boozer called the Navigator.

However, it closed for good in 2022.

But the downside is it needs a bit of work.

The property is a great opportunity for those "looking for a project to finish," the listing reads.

The four-bedroom house offers open countryside and is located within a short distance of the town centre and train station.

The listing said: "In brief, the property comprises; an entrance vestibule, three reception rooms and a breakfast kitchen.

“An inner hallway leads to WC, utility and access to the outside space.

Omaze has launched its biggest ever Million Pound House Draw, offering the chance to win a luxury 4-bedroom house in Victoria Park

“To the first floor are four excellent-sized bedrooms, plumbing for en-suite facilities to the master bedroom.

“Coupled with a stylish family bathroom fitted with a white suite and separate shower unit."

The unique property features a spacious driveway and offers "off-road parking".

There is a "secluded walled courtyard" within the grounds, ideal for those who enjoy hosting friends and family.

Future tenants can also convert the stone-built outhouse into an office or an additional log store.

It comes after a four-bedroom in London hit the market for £750,000 - but it needs some serious work.

And a man has been branded a "criminal" after spending six hours tidying up an overhanging hedge to help locals.

Inside 1950s home that looks normal from outside but hides incredible secret behind closed doors

By Owen Leonard

THIS ordinary 1950s home may seem basic if you're looking from the street but it holds an incredible secret inside its walls.

Mike Parrish has called the spot his home since 1994 - and has kept its wartime panic links alive ever since.

The owner says he has been offered £30,000 just to be a host - and now even shows people around the vast building, and what lies beneath.

The building hides a secret nuclear bunker built during the Cold War to house up to 600 people, including the Prime Minister.

Those lucky enough to cop an invite to the Essex bunker bash would be tasked with reconstructing civilisation in the fallout of a cataclysmic bombing by a foreign force.

Originally built in 1952 by the Air Ministry, the "Kelvedon Hatch" is guarded by a bungalow, which conceals a 120m tunnel leading to the underground shelter.

Generators stand to the left of the bungalow, offering up to three months of continuous power.

The bungalow and tunnel boast thick reinforcement designed to protect the shelter from the initial blast and consequent radiation.

The government kept the bunker on standby until 1992, when the Cold War fizzled out.

It had been spending £3million a year just to maintain it.

Mike bought the property in 1994, now running it as a museum.

Mike, a farmer, previously revealed he received extraordinary offers of up to £30,000 for places in the bunker following 9/11.

Russia's war on Ukraine has renewed interest in the shelter, but Mike in 2023 said he would drive a hard bargain.

He told The Express: "Of course, I've learned that I say 'well, if you've got £500,000 in liquid assets, we will talk to you'.

“On 9/11, I had over 200 people… part of the deal was that in those days, we said for £30,000, we will guarantee your space, down in the bunker here for 10 years

"You are going to be down here for 10-15 years, you're going to want lots of food.
