A couple bought an old 1670s house for more than £500k and found a unique feature hidden within its historic walls. Emily, 48, and Phillip Jones, 51, became the proud owners of The Old House, a Grade 2 listed property, back in May 2021.
Whilst viewing it, the couple said the seven-bed home said it needed "tonnes" of renovating as it looked like it was "going to fall down". They then uncovered a well - which they've recently found to be 20 metres deep - and are now planning to restore it to its working condition.
