Local legend says Thomas Becket hid in the caves, which extend a long way under roads, fields and houses in the village, while fleeing the wrath of King Henry II in the 12th century.]
Beckets is a historic property in the village of Eastry, Kent, but it is the network of tunnels that descend 50ft to 60ft below ground that make it truly unique.
A spokesman for estate agents Fine & Country added: "While there may be a considerable number of 'unique' properties in this country, there are unlikely to be many that include the only entrance to a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels and caves that descend to some 50 to 60 feet below ground in some places and extend a long way under roads, fields and houses in Eastry village.
"If you add the legend that Thomas Becket hid in the caves while fleeing the wrath of Henry II before returning to Canterbury where he was murdered, you do have a property that is truly unique and steeped in history.".
If walls could speak, they would tell how Thomas Becket fled the wrath of King Henry II using this property's unique feature.
