I thought that this would appeal to some of us here!

It appeals to me. I want a secret room!

That would be extremely cool to have. I wonder how much that costs for it to look as good as it does - probably a lot of wonga

I think the website says between $5000 and $25000 dollars.

I'd like one, although I think my landlord would object if I had one here. Don't know what I'd put in it, though. Do remind me to get one that doesn't lock you in, as the article covers. I like the knock code thingy, though, very "secret society".

5000-25000? that aint a bad price if you were considering it to be fair - especially if you were fairly rich and had a way cool house that you just wanted to make cooler!

The main thing about these would be to have a house big enough that hiding a room would not be too obvious. I think it would be to smegging obvious in my terrace! :D

My grandparents old house would have been a good candidate. I am sure that one room could have been sealed off with no problem at all. I think that I would have chosen either a room in the basement or the little bedroom between the kitchen and bathroom on the first floor.

As I started to read your post I was thinking about the same room. It could easily have been done.

But even in our little semi how about the darkroom? It already is almost a secret room and wouldn't need too much work to finish the job.

Yours of this will be available to interested parties next time the Happy Dungeoneers descend upon us...

Um, yes, quite...

I have nowhere unless I was to extend sidewards.

My parents' house was rennovated about 5 years ago when they stuck a kitchen on the back and turned the then kitchen into a dining room and the then dining room into another lounge. This didn't make it ''secret'' or give it potential to be secret but it did make it secluded which is a nice idea.

If I had my way (and a lot of money), I'd have a full Bond-villian underground lair with monorail transport. To Edgeley. To Didsbury. And beyond! Might need planning permission, though.

Your grandparents old house sounds pretty neat, all it needed was a second basement level to make it really out there.

In fact, how many basement levels could a residential house feasibly have? Any architects in here?

Depends on how much money you wanted to throw at it I suppose. On a side note, I don't think that a bond villain would actually care about the intricacies of the local planning authority!

The house was very cool, but rather too large and more than a little in need of tlc. They even had a bomb shelter in the basement (which was about the same size as Chris and Claire's flat!

). I think it would have been a really daft place to have a shelter to be honest. If the house fell on top of you what was the point in surviving? It would probably just prolong the inevitable.
