Terraced cottage with underground cave for sale for £300,000

Artist Antony Dracup chiselled much of the basement by hand, his son said

A two-bedroom terrace - with its own vast underground cave - is being sold.

The medieval-themed cottage in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, features vaulted ceilings and pillars designed by 20th Century artist Antony Dracup, who once lived there.

Before his death in 2002, Dracup hand-chiselled much of the sandstone cave and extended it to create a medieval-themed banqueting hall.

It is on the market with an asking price of just under £300,000.

The current designs of the rooms are inspired by film sets

The property was last put on sale in 2016 with an asking price of less than £200,000, but has since undergone a large modernisation project.

Located on Railway Street, the home, described as "a museum in homage to its former owner", is used as a holiday let and attracts people from across the world, estate agent Berriman Eaton says.

Antony Dracup's son Dennis said: "His persistence was rewarded with noticeably stronger chest muscles and extra living space."

The artist created the features after deciding to extend a small, existing cave in the back garden.

A spokesperson for Berriman Eaton said the house offered a "unique living experience" that "feels like stepping back in time".
