Lad stunned after discovering a ‘secret escape route’ hidden in a kitchen cupboard during flat viewing

A LAD was in shock after viewing a flat to move in to – and finding a ‘secret escape route’ inside a kitchen cupboard. 

They say some properties have hidden potential, and that was literally the case for one bloke who stumbled across a concealed staircase. 

The flat-hunter shared a barmy clip to , as he filmed the modest property. 

It shows a sizable kitchen with wooden floors and cabinets, a green countertop, a full sized-fridge and a sink overlooking the window. 

But the bloke walks over to one side of the kitchen – and opens an under-counter  cupboard – to reveal a staircase going down. 

He then lifts up the counter – similar to in shops and cafes – to reveal a whole new floor. 

He pans down the steep stairs, showing a door at the bottom. 

The potential tenant shared the bonkers find online, saying: “Viewed a flat today and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop thinking about the back door…”

His discovery quickly went viral online, with his post racking up 1.3 million views. 

One person said: “This is insane.”

Another wrote: “My escape route.”

A third commented: “I can’t decide whether that’s super creepy or super cool.”

Somebody else pointed out: “Practical mind tells me you’d never ever be able to use that surface.”

This person thought: “Okay but how fun would it be crawling through that cupboard at 3am absolutely hammered.”

While another added: “You’d have the inevitable guest attempting to leave through the fridge door. How embarrassing.”

Meanwhile this couple find secret room hidden under the stairs – and it’s filled with antique treasure bottles of wine.

And this woman was stunned to find a secret room in her house behind a wardrobe – three years after moving in.

Plus another homeowner finds room hidden behind a wall five YEARS after moving in and it’s ‘like a nightmare’.
