Water reservoir converted into four-bedroom home for sale
This unique four-bed home - a converted subterranean water reservoir - could be yours for less than the price of a London flat.
The stunning property in Barnstaple, Devon, is being auctioned with a guide price of between £400,000 (more than $500,000) and £450,000 (more than $600,000).
Previously a Victorian period reservoir, it now boasts large arched brick ceilings over a reception hall as well as a kitchen, a sitting room, a utility room and three bathrooms.
There is also lots of outdoor space, with over half an acre of countryside, two garages, and a Mediterranean-style brick-floored courtyard.
The home is for sale by public auction and via livestream June 18 at 2 p.m. at Digby Hall in Sherborne, Dorset.
