Charming home complete with stained glass windows could be yours for £120,000… but it hides a dark secret

A UNIQUE home with amazing features including historic stained glass windows has come up for sale at £120,000 - but it conceals a dark surprise.

With the ornate stonework still intact, this former library's impressive looks may be hiding a creepy surprise for its next owner.

Due to be sold at auction on July 20, the historic Hipperholme library was closed in 2020 following cuts to the council budget and has sat unused since then.

Despite the promise of such a unique property, potential buyers would be well advised to first look inside the mysterious old building.

A virtual tour released by Pugh and Company Limited, the agents selling the library, seems closer to footage from a horror movie than a property tour.

Inside, the camera weaves through winding corridors and down into a dark dilapidated basement, while another unmarked door leads through to a room loaded with old machinery.

In addition to the enormous empty rooms full of bookcases, there is also a large dusty attic up a steep staircase.

The sale of the library has also attracted some political controversy as George Robinson, a local conservative councillor, has been petitioning the council to halt the sale.

In 2020 the town of Calderdale, where the library is located, lost two of its public libraries, causing a public outcry.

However, in good news for those shopping for abandoned libraries, the council has announced that it will be going ahead with the sale.
