It might look like an old ruin… but you won’t believe what secret the barn of this £1.79 million farmhouse is hiding

AT first glance this looks like the ruins of a brick barn... but there's actually something much more interesting going on.

The property is part of a £1.79 million contemporary farmhouse which was built in the seventeenth century.

It's called Low House and it's in Lancashire, but that's not what's really exciting about it.

The dilapidated barn isn't actually that much of a ruin, because it's been ingeniously transformed into an outdoor games room.

There is an oversized chess set to play with, or you could just relax in the private hot tub with bespoke water feature.

The farmhouse itself isn't too shabby either.

The Grade II listed property has six bedrooms, four reception rooms and two kitchens, all set within the manicured eight-acre garden.

Bits of the house date back to the 1600s, and those sections have exposed beams and other original features.

But it has modern parts too, such as an en-suite bedroom on the ground floor, parquet flooring and a big marble bathroom.

There are out buildings which are decorated with stained glass windows, as well as lots of places to sit and relax out in the garden.

Of course it's not the only house known to hide a pretty stunning secret.

This £275,000 house near Middlesbrough comes complete with something you definitely won't be expecting, while you will definitely need to grab your sunglasses before taking a tour of this family home in Massachusetts, America.

Then there was this £200,000 pad, which has something highly unusual lurking in the living room.
