Ordinary-looking warehouse snapped up in days after buyers see what's inside

As secret hideaways go, this one is pretty impressive.

At first glance, the blue and red industrial building looks nothing more than ordinary but behind its doors lies an incredible interior, which saw it attract a lot of attention when it was put up for sale.

The warehouse's seller has converted the site in Mawson Lakes, Australia, into a dream "man cave", reports the Mirror, and it was snapped up within three days of being put up for sale.

Inside, there's a gym, bar and car workshop, which were installed by the previous owner for entertaining mates and enjoying his favourite hobbies.

It also comes with bathroom facilities, retro arcade machines, a three-tonne car hoist, a fully-stocked kitchen, plenty of storage and CCTV for security.

Andrew Harvey, of property agents Raine & Horne Salisbury, didn't disclose the final sale fee but said the offer was "very close to the asking price" of about £204,000, as reported by Realestate.com.au.

The 176sq m space was snapped up just three days after the for sale signs went up with potential buyers left in awe of the conversion.

"It sold in three days, a gentleman with the same thought process purchased it," Andrew said. "There was some good interest. We showed three lots of people through and I've had a couple of emails since."

Andrew added: "It was certainly a nice place for him to spend time and work out, have friends over and store his prized possessions. Rather than clog the house up with that sort of thing, it was good for him to have a separate place to go."

The warehouse remains listed on the market because the deal struck is still subject to finance - meaning there's still a slight chance it could be back up for grabs again.
