Inside fairtytale cottage hiding a secret Harry Potter door and a surprise in the garden

This quaint terraced house in southern Wales has more than meets the eye - with a hidden door and picturesque surroundings, it’s like something out of a fairytale.

The house is perched on a quiet country lane three miles from the popular Welsh town of Usk, surrounded by vibrant green forestry. It neighbours a number of other terraced houses blessed with beautiful countryside walks on the doorstep.

But a surprise awaits for the lucky visitor - a spacious attic room in the loft is accessible only if you know of the magical secret door which acts as the entrance.

Take yourself to an upstairs bedroom and you will find the enchanting door, disguised as a bookshelf built into the wall, hiding in plain sight.

Colourfully decorated rooms add to the mystical feel of the charming house, which hosts two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and a living room, dining room, and kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor.

Pretty, patterned walls and chairs which look too comfy to get up from are found in most rooms. A stunning grandfather clock is found next to what appears to be a stone fireplace on the ground floor.

But it is not only the inside which gives its beauty.

The garden is complete with multiple sections, including a bricked terrace with a wooden bench and small shed, a patio area with tables and chairs, and a grass section with a small wooden building.

With power, double glazing, insulation, imaginations can run wild with the modern addition to an otherwise traditional house. It could be a home office, games room, spare bedroom - or even just a second living room.

With parking for up to three cars outside the front, the magical property would be a beautiful escape from the city.
