There is a secret ‘casino’ inside this unassuming suburban house

From the outside, it looks like any other terrace house in northern England. 

The three-bedroom home in the town of Washington has a grey pebblecrete facade. 

There are a pair of aluminium windows, a ramshackle timber fence and two wheelie bins. 

But inside the house is an extraordinary secret.

The downstairs living room has been transformed into a makeshift private ‘casino’. 

No less than eight slot machines have been squeezed into the small room. 

To add to the sense of authenticity, homemade signs have been stuck to some of the machines, with the message: ‘This machine is reserved. Sorry for any inconvenience.’ 

The at-home ‘casino’ appears to be the creation of the current tenants, who have lived in the property for several years.

“[The tenants] have consistently paid rent for the duration of their stay. They do not have any intentions to move out so hope to remain in the property,” the listing states. 

The terrace house is on the market for £100,000 ($207,000) as an investment property. 

It produces an annual gross income of around £9,000 ($18,600) for the owners. 

Aside from the ‘casino’, the remainder of the house is set up as a conventional suburban home. 

On the ground floor is a bathroom and a kitchen with a patriotic fridge decked out in the England flag. 

Upstairs are three bedrooms: two singles, and one double room. 

Outside, the property has a small backyard and a driveway with space to park a car. 

The residents of the Washington terrace are not the only family to splurge on an unusual house feature. 

In Perth, a father and son turned their kitchen into a nightclub complete with truss lights and a smoke machine. 

The house ended up selling to a family with a teenager who was a big fan of the party room. 

Meanwhile, an acreage property in rural Queensland hit the market boasting a secret underground pub. 

The pub had a cedar bar, ruby carpet and even a chalkboard menu.
