Here are 10 examples of secret rooms people have found in their homes.

Secret Attic Room

A couple were rather surprised to discover a secret attic room in their home after they bought the house over the internet without viewing it in person first.

Raine, the 27-year-old new home owner, said: "Because of the pandemic, we bought this house on the internet without ever seeing it before. And when we finally saw it in person after two months of looking at it online, we realised that it had something very weird about it that we had not noticed from the 18 pictures we'd stared at for the last couple of months."

The room has windows at the side and at the front, with a sloping ceiling tall enough to stand in the middle.

Secret Passage

Another homeowner found a "secret passage" hidden behind a door in an 148-year-old house she had recently bought.

Lindsay Grummett shared the clip to TikTok, which can also be seen here, explaining the renovations of her new home, which she snapped up because of a wall of exposed brick.

"I basically bought it because I fell in love with that wall behind me. Amazing right? Don't judge I haven't decorated it yet."

In the clip, Lindsay films one side of a wall, which shows a vast bathroom, and the other side... a door that surprisingly does not lead to said bathroom.

She opens it, saying: "Check this out. There are some stairs that are blocked off in here. There's also some very retro stickers. I have no idea what's back there."
