Frightmove: Horrifying Haunted Dolls House Hits Market

Alton Towers
Friday 13th October 2023

The world’s only life-sized haunted dolls house has gone on the rental market … for a spine-tingling £666 a month.


Located in the village of Alton, Staffordshire the property comprises of a lounge, dining room and attic nursery.


Victorian in style, the lounge features worn and torn period wallpaper alongside a dresser that new residents are urged not to move.


An original antique fireplace provides a respite from the chills of the dining room which is dominated by an elegant china cabinet that houses a selection of head-spinning specimens.


Nightmarish décor defines the desolate nursery with an empty cot and abandoned rocking horse hinting at an unhappy and isolated childhood.


Further unique features include fully-opening frontage providing unrivalled ease of access and a narrow secret passageway scrawled with sinister graffiti.


It is thought the property has links to Alton Towers Resort, which has become renowned for being the home of all things scare during October.


It is being marketed by Leaders estate agents ahead of Friday the 13th of October and can also be viewed on Rightmove and Zoopla property portals.


Laura Aspinall, Regional Lettings Director for Leaders, North West said: “We’re thrilled to be able to list this unique Victorian home to those brave enough to cross its threshold.


“Its history is a little shrouded in mystery but from what we can discern it has been in the Alton family for a number of generations, with the previous owner believed to be a certain Miss Emily Alton.


“Not suitable for anyone of a nervous disposition, it does require a little work to bring some of its more unsettling features up to date.


“But once they have been completed, we hope it will prove a blessing and not a Curse for a young family who will have the stunning Staffordshire moorlands on their doorstep alongside the nearby Alton Towers Resort, which is currently holding its spine-tingling Scarefest.”
