AT first glance, this unassuming three-bedroom house looks very much like your average family home.
But flinging open the doors reveals its stunning hidden secret as much of the property is decked out like a pub – complete with stained glass windows and oak-panelled walls.
After buying the house in Tyler, Texas, back in 1976, a "master carpenter" got to work creating an authentic British boozer in his home – hand carving many of the eye-catching features during the year-long project.
In true Brit-pub fashion, there are beer tankards hung close to the ceiling and even a centuries-old fireplace taking centre stage.
It also features "beautiful wood floors" and a pressed tin ceiling as if straight out of a boozer 5,000 miles away in London.
The one-of-a-kind home is now on the market for just £370,000 – and even boasts an acre of land.
Estate agent Zillow says: "The craftsmanship is astonishing. The Wrecking Bar in Dallas and The London Shop in Tyler were the main sources of the eye candy you see throughout this world-class pub.
"There are custom hand-carved accents throughout including the incredible bathroom door and front of the bar which has a brass foot-rail from the owner's college conservatory stair railing.

"Additional unique features are authentic foxhound beer pulls, dozens of mug pegs below the tin ceiling, a centuries-old fireplace with a bum warmer that wraps around it and two fabulous illuminated stained glass windows that flank it.
"Hanging over the fireplace is an 18th-century oil painting, and your pub parties can be livened up with the upright London piano."
In 1989, the lower level was expanded to add some finishing touches – including an office corner, sound system, custom shelves for books and liquor storage, as well as a secret cedar-lined room.
The house – built in 1962 – also has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a double garage and a kitchen, much of which strays away from the pub theme.
Meanwhile in London itself, this four-bed home looks like a regular terraced house – but has its own private pub.
Stunning pictures reveal the house is decked out with a magnificent wooden bar – complete with four stools and a stained-glass ceiling.
Meanwhile, this plain looking three-bed home in Finland is the opposite inside, filled with a riot of garish colours that make the house look as if it has been frozen in time from a 197Os porn movie set.
Floors and walls are painted luminescent pink and even the bed has a nightmare-inducing pink headboard.
