Home up for auction hides 'utterly amazing' underground village beneath floorboards
A home in Reading's Tilehurst area is up for auction with a hand-dug secret beneath it. Civil engineer Tony Deane and his six children built four levels of tunnels, storage rooms and a hand-cast railway over two decades in the 1980s and '90s, reaching over 15 metres down. Two secret doors include a 1.5-tonne sliding concrete wall. The lot carries a guide price of £300,000 to £325,000 and hits Eddisons' livestream auction on October 28 and 29.
