Househunters have been left in stitches after spotting a converted chapel for sale – with a glaring omission from the estate agent’s description - a giant hole in the living room floor.

The one bedroom property on the picturesque Isle of Anglesey in north west Wales boasts a charming façade with large windows that flood the space with natural light. But the bizarre feature, a hole covered by a glass panel, has sparked a flurry of online comments with potential buyers coming up with their own hilarious theories as to what it could be, including some more outlandish guesses such as a portal to hell.

On the market for, £210,000 and a Grade II listed property, it was at one time a chapel and lies in the hamlet of Coedana and has "breathtaking, unobstructed views of the countryside and Eryri national park." Agents Williams & Goodwin said: "Having been extensively renovated to a high standard the property really does lend itself well as a turnkey property."

The added: "It's not often a property of this charm and character becomes available and we would strongly suggest an early viewing! Located in Coedana on the periphery of Llannerch-Y Medd with its local shop, post office, primary school and public houses this property really does have a lot to offer.

"Linking quickly with nearby towns such as Llangefni and Amlwch for further amenities including supermarkets and leisure facilities. Greeted into the main hallway opening to the open plan lounge and kitchen and then on to the rear lobby and shower room to the ground floor. The first floor landing opens to living / sleeping accommodation, with an attic room located on the second floor."

The images of the house clearly show the glass-covered hole in the living room, however, which has not been mentioned at all in the listing. One user shared the images to a Reddit thread called "Where does the hole go?" saying: "Found this property. I really like it but I am curious why they don't show or even acknowledge the hole in the floor. Where does it go and what is in it?"

Other users were click to jump on the comments and share their throughs, with one user suggesting in could be: "The Moon Door," alluding to hit TV show Game of Thrones, to which another replied: "This is the only possible answer."

One joked: "It's a converted chapel so obviously that was the window down to view hellfire and brimstone awaiting any heathens," followed by another who thought it could be a "Pit of snakes." A couple of users thought the hole could be an underground room or vault beneath a church, used for burials with one saying "I wondered if it was a crypt as it was an old chapel," another said, while one agreed, adding: "I was hoping old crypt. That would be pretty cool to own."

Other users were more keen to help out the original poster by suggesting some more logical and realistic ideas. "Looks like it could be a well," one said, and someone else responded "Yeah, it'll be an original well which has been covered over with glass as a feature. We have one in my workplace," another responded. "Well, well, well. Well I never," one said hilariously. And another simply replied: "Nice. Free water!"
