What is an Undercellar?
Undercellar is an archaic term that was used to describe a type of cellar or basement that was located beneath the main living space of a house. It was typically used in medieval and Tudor-era architecture, where the main living space was located on the ground floor and the undercellar was located below it.
The undercellar was often used as a storage area or a place for keeping food and drink cool. It was also sometimes used as a living space, particularly in smaller homes where there wasn't enough room for a separate living area on the ground floor.
In modern times, the term "undercellar" is not commonly used, and the spaces it once described are now more likely to be referred to as basements or cellars.
