We found a secret room in our house, picture included

Wow, that's cool! As a child I used to dream about finding a secret room (in our 1960s bungalow, err OK then. 😂)

I get that it feels creepy to you though. Do you think putting your own 'stamp' on it (change of decor, get some of your belongings in there) might take care of that?

Ooh, I don’t like that. It’s like the sacrificial yellow hut in Midsomar.

I have frequent dreams of finding a secret room in my house.

It's a man thing.

The 'look' but don't really see past the end of their nose.

So no door - just an enclosed space then

yes spotlights means not that old

I would def measure width of floor below and see if it’s actually in your side of house

Some comments here are totally bonkers.

Creepy?

No, it's just a space that someone used for some peace and quiet, they weren't the best at decorating or finishing decor off neatly, or maybe the started a project and didn't complete it.

Still cannot understand why @Ohwhatswrong didn't have a full survey that included the loft, which would have found this.

This is creepy.. I'm so intrigued, I need to know more👀

Ask on the paranormal threads.

YABU if its on the floor plan

It has spotlights it can’t be that old

Yeah, I'd have loved a secret room like that when DC were small.

Sitting down uninterupted with a good book for 5 minutes, having a little nap or drinking a full cup of hot tea (that's what the socket is for). Is there any plumbing up there, OP because an uninterrupted poo would have truly made it my own little paradise?

Me too. Either I dream about finding a new floor in our house (who has it is a three bed semi is a bit silly) or we’ve bought a house and discover it is much bigger than we realised - ridiculously huge in fact. But neither type of dream is particularly pleasant - I don’t want to go up to the new floor, something about it scares me, and in the huge new house, there is always a room that, although it is beautiful and often overlooking the sea, gives me a bad feeling. Aspects of my personality I don’t want to confront?

Ooh! Do you know the previous owners? Could you ask them @Ohwhatswrong?

Here is what I would do , get AI to grind that background online , it will probably be porn related , the spot lights mean it won’t be to old . My biggest question would be what sort of porn .
But as someone who gets “ feelings “ from photos I can tell you it made me unsettled so I would want to find out . What do you know about the previous owners ? Check for convictions , neighbours might have info

Given there is no door and it’s just at the back of the attic
i am still baffled how your husband has been up to the attic lots of times and never noticed

Me too. Houses that I know well, suddenly have doors, corridors and rooms that I’ve never seen before.

In my dreams of this nature I immediately start planning which clutter can go there, so I agree - this is my mind in practical housekeeping mode.

Me too.

This is the sort of thing I dream of! Wow!!!!

Thank you. 99p on the Kobo right now so I’ve bought that!

I once looked round a house where the loft was only accessible via a steep fold down ladder. When we got up, we saw a room just like the one in your picture coming off the side, with a webcam built into the wall and the same chair. Our only guess was voyeurism/swinging or homemade pornography?!

I don’t think it’s spooky. Lots of houses used to board off areas to keep other spaces warmer as there’s less dead space.

It looks like the was a ladder from a room below, there is a light switch right by it. My guess is it was an extra den area for a kids bedroom, that was the access, but it was boarded up. What room is directly below?
I viewed a top floor flat with a similar, very 80's set up!

who lived there before ? Lone creepy man ? Then the fact there is a hidden room is terrifying . Family with kids maybe more innocent .

Mine too! I find fabulous bathrooms usually.
