Video shows a secret 200-year-old well which a couple discovered in their home - and have turned into a stunning feature for their hallway.
The homeowners were shocked to find the 27ft hole by the front door - and amazed that it still contained crystal-clear water! Victoria Ellington, 36, and her husband Andrew, 40, couldn’t bear to cover up the 200-year-old well - so they turned it into a stunning hallway feature. After months of hard work, Victoria and Andrew managed to install a pump to create their very own wishing well, with decorative lights and covered by protective glass.
He just sent me a photo and said: 'Oh my god, have you seen this?' We knew then that we couldn’t build an extension so Andrew just decided to make it part of the building and we could rent the cottage out.” Instead of paving over the well the couple covered it with a glass walkway and lined the walls of the shaft with lights. The couple, from Redcar, North Yorks., now rent the beach-front property, called Bute Cottage, to holidaymakers who can enjoy the quirky water feature.
