A homeowner was left gobsmacked after discovering that he had an entire house with four rooms hidden away inside his attic. The man, who was unaware of his property's history, was blown away as he uncovered the remnants of an old shop which was later turned into a church inside his loft.
The owner explained that after exploring inside the property's attic for the first time, he was met with a crawl space that he described as being no larger than two metres in height, the Mirror reports.

While most users were equally as amazed by the man's remarkable discovery, others warned him to 'sell the property' quickly before any ghouls appear.
One unsettled user said: "It's like the
