It is a larger & old house? May be a lift for food to be moved from the cooks to the dining room.

I saw a movie one time where some people found a little hidden doorway in an office building that turned out to be a portal into John Malkovich’s brain. I’m guessing it’s probably something like that.

Is it a kind of metal? Looks painted or something in the pic, the light reflections are the same at different aspects. Strange that the knobs are uneven as well….

Is that filter material at the bottom? Can you remove it? Or could it be a speaker? Are those two dials? My random guesses are an air filter system or a radio

Ask the current owners. The estate agent should already have the answer if you’re not the first to ask.

Reckon it’s an old boiler of some kind

Some sort of air blower, hot or cold.

The house might be heated by electric warm air. If the rooms have vents in the walls that’s what it will be. The heating unit. I grew up up in a house in the UK that had it. My Dad would never let us turn it on.

Are there vents in the rooms? It could be an old hot air heating system, but it would need to be burning oil or gas to work. Any other doors or covers you can open?

It’s an old air central heating system. Ducts tun from it under the floorboards. You’ll find low level wall vents in rooms or they’ll be in the floorboards and a flue from the top of that through the hot press, attic and roof

Looks like an old storage radiator

Could it be an old storage heater? They had two dials one for how much to heat up and one for how quick to push it out.

Looking at the filtery looking thing at the bottom of it, and that it was covered up with cardboard (I guess to keep out a draught), I would guess it’s some kind of air heater.

Most likely a boiler, there’s a monoxide alarm above it.

Air central heating unit. Were popular in the 60s-80s, warm air was blown through ducting to vents in the rooms, usually in the floor or skirting boards.

In my 40s and this is the first time I have ever heard the term…. “second hand” when talking about a house. I’m not mocking… just find it interesting 🤣

Oh it also looks like an old storage heater. They were installed in the 70s and has two controls – input and output.
