The secret house in Emmerdale hidden in the village and never shown on screen

Emmerdale fans might not know the ITV soap has a secret house based on the set.

While Emmerdale is known for iconic locations like Home Farm and The Woolpack there’s actually a lesser-known building that offers lots of intrigue. Fans might not know about the property as it has never been shown on screen.

As The Sun reports, there’s a house called Oakley which is based next to Mulberry Cottage. This can be seen as you enter the famous soap village.

The house is billed as ‘the only house in Emmerdale history that nobody has ever lived in’. And, there’s actually a very logical reason why that’s the case. It is because Oakley is used to keep props for the programme. It is considered to be a conveniently located base to help film scenes across the village.

As the show continues to get bigger and bigger down the years we wonder if we’ll ever see Oakley occupied. We’ll keep you posted should there be any developments at the property.

If you love secrets from the set of Emmerdale then Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold recently gave viewers a behind the scenes look at the soap. Walking down the lane at the centre of the Emmerdale village, he first stopped off outside David's shop and then moved on to show the Dingle garage and revealed that they are the largest family with 11 generations in total.

He later went outside Harriet Finch’s home and admitted: “For me, this was always Edna’s home - now Harriet and co live here and if you fancy a touch up and a tickle, this is the place to go to, because it’s actually the make-up department whenever the cast and crew are filming here.”
