The terraced house with an amazing secret: Humble home hides a secret CAVE and vaulted ceiling (and it's yours for £200,000)  

Bridgnorth home which hides a secret CAVE is up for sale for £200k
The house in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, (left) was once owned by artist Anthony Dracup, who spent years integrating the sandstone cave at the back of the property into his two-bedroom home. After moving into the house in the 1980s, Mr Dracup - who left his office job to become a professional artist in 1963 - spent years levelling the floors and then chiselling away at the cave by hand 'Colditz style' to create a huge entertaining space (centre, top right, and visible through the skylight in the back garden, bottom right) with vaulted ceilings and 24 pillars, which were made using recycled sand from the excavation. He also turned around the staircase inside the house, and built an extra layer of bricks to sound-proof the property, while on top of the amazing cave, there are two bedrooms and an attic room. There is also a galley kitchen and a lounge downstairs.
