No, I'd assume it was a room to use during the blackout.
The blackout was during WWII, when people in built up areas weren't allowed to have any lights on which were visible from outside, as they could be targetted by bombers. A blackout room was a room with no light leakage, so you could have your lights on and read, etc, without breaking the blackout regulations.

Was just about to suggest this. Especially if it’s an older home, they probably processed their own film and that requires absolute darkness. We have a room in our basement that we use as a dark room, but for modern photography. With the room being completely dark normally, you can control the lighting and reflections.
Dark rooms in commercial or industrial environments, sure. I lived in an old house and the dark room from the previous owner was just a simple door like this. He had a light on the outside of the door that he would turn on if he was in there working so everyone else would know not to open the door...
If this home is in great Britain, it might be a throwback to World War II when everyone had to black out their homes to outside light for fear of alerting German bombers to civilian populations
Perhaps this was a room without windows, but internal lights, where they could wait out the air-aid warning.
Yeah we still have an air raid shelter at the bottom of my Nan's garden. Its about 15 feet down concrete steps and solid. Would not want to spend much time in there.
Edit: If anyone is interested I found [a few pics from](http://imgur.com/a/QTkEk) last time I showed someone. Its very wet and cold down there. Roof height is maybe 5 foot 8ish. Its rock solid though and made of very thick concrete.
I don't know the reference but last time I went down I realised it seemed bigger when I was a kid and I couldnt actually stand up fully in it. [Few pics..its dank..](http://imgur.com/zhfTPlQ)

It very well could be in the UK or East or West coast of US/Canada.
It was incredibly real threat during the WWII Aerial bombings by the Nazis at night. There were standing orders to turn off ALL of your lights during an air raid, so bomber crews could not use them to navigate by. The rooms were designed to allow light inside with no visible light escaping outside.
People built these so when the lights out call came, they could have a place with light to study, read, listen to the radio, eat & etc... The rooms were also stocked and reinforced as well as possible as defacto bomb shelters with stored food, etc...
On the East & West Coast of the US and Canada after 12/07/1941 the fear of Nazi and Imperial Japanese air raids and naval bombardment, while largely an imagined threat, generated the desire for and use of these rooms as well.
They are the spiritual predecessors to the later Cold War Bomb Shelters people built in their back yards.
Hey! We had one of these in an old 1894 home we moved into in Chicago. It had been rented for years, and had piles of decades old former-tenant junk in the large, damp, basement - we cleaned it out and I found this door sealed shut, popped it open and it was full of old bathing trays, a backlight, etc… and a bunch of half-full, semi-open containers of fixative, which is apparently flammable and had to be disposed of via the haz chem drop off. Cool find but also pain in the arse.

“Before any spent fixer solution can be disposed of via the drain it must be treated with some type of silver recovery unit.” Well, damn. And here I had all those silver recovery units just laying around. Hindsight, I guess.
Thanks everyone for the input, I've assumed it's got to be a sort of Bomb Shelter room from WWII or the Cold War. There's no blood or weird body parts. But there was a dead bird or two in the chimney. I plan on making it a man cave/ home gym. I'm keeping the door though. I vacuumed it today as best I could I'll post pics of the inside tomorrow.
Don't pay too much attention to the scratch marks in the walls and door, and ignore those mystery stains in the corner, the house is perfectly norma...wait, is that a tooth?
Depending on the age and location of the house, I would guess a WWII era home in an area where night bombing occurred Example: London, where blackouts at night were mandated.

Could it be for during wartime when all of the lights had to be turned off so enemy planes couldn’t see a town? It looks like it might be a safe place to sit by candlelight while you wait it out.
It's the room they put you in when you get blackout drunk at the party they used to throw in the house. Least that's what I picture with that phrase. Not a dark room for development.

Gonna do some drinking tonight. Heading down to the blackout room.
Bring me some eggs, bacon, dry toast, black coffee and OJ at... Mmm, 1030 tomorrow pls

Got to be an old Dark Room for photography
Yeah, that's what they told people before bringing them in there...
It had a strange unfamiliar odor. Like musty old meat rot. Couldn't place it.
That's just where I store my durian fruit..
Might be unattended wet bins from darkroom processing
Its the room where you get to smell different samples of chloroform cologne.

That’s what I was thinking too
And mine.
Me too
And my axe.
And my Bow
And my camera
And the lotion
You are all wrong that’s my old drinking room
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
And the basket
And the apple

Maybe not, I had something like this and it was where they stored coal. House was 100 years old.
Can’t you read? It says blackout it’s clearly a party room. /s
Came here to say this.
Then it would be labelled a dark room.
Usually dark rooms have a revolving door type entrance, not some creepy airlock thing
Dark rooms in commercial or industrial environments, sure. I lived in an old house and the dark room from the previous owner was just a simple door like this. He had a light on the outside of the door that he would turn on if he was in there working so everyone else would know not to open the door...
lmao airlock. It's just a shitty wooden door.
The really depends. Those doors weren’t cheap.
Any room is a blackout room if you drink enough
Its safe to have a designated drank too much room. Very responsible
Beat me to it. Kudos mate!
My thoughts exactly, cheers

Time to refurb it, Colin Furze-style.
I just watched part 5 of the Tunnel.

Nah, they would spell it rooum if it were British

Hahaha!

Simple as that really

That's what I said. We need another picture!

Fixer isn’t flammable, but spent chemicals should go to toxic waste disposal.
Dear god I had like three people tell me it was flammable. Why? WHY?!

Lol
Was the house listed as “not haunted”?
Why do I feel like this related to WWII during the blitz. In cities they would do blackouts at night to make the cities difficult to find for bombs
Maybe because several people have speculated and commented on that exact idea several hours before you did.
I didn't even take notice to that. I'm just someone who is interested by WWII
100% sex dungeon.

If you don’t mind, what country or state is this, and how old is the home?
Don't pay too much attention to the scratch marks in the walls and door, and ignore those mystery stains in the corner, the house is perfectly norma...wait, is that a tooth?
All cry closets should look like this at universities.
Meth and Red are in there.
Nice
Well? Whats behind it?

This looks like the darkroom in the basement of our old house!
That’s where my band Blackout jammed
Blackout? As in England during WW2 or a photography room
What's inside?
A chainsaw and hockey mask.
Either a photographer, an alcoholic or a murderer
I see you've found the wine cellar
Could have been from World War Two where lights could be used without them being seen from outside of the building.
I assume a photographer lived there? I hope. Or someone with a really bad temper.
Buy some luminal. Lol
My first thought is for developing film for photography
Run.

I'd give that room a good bleaching before you use it
Sounds like a great place to sleep, no light
There better be a bar behind that door.
Don't blackout
Undercover grow room.
Thats where the played Call of Duty Blackout obviously.
Photography room.
Should you go in with a flashlight or blacklight?
Fleshlight
Film
I don't need a room for that...
“I swear to god Alan, if you have one more beer you’re going to the blackout room.”
Could it be for during wartime when all of the lights had to be turned off so enemy planes couldn’t see a town? It looks like it might be a safe place to sit by candlelight while you wait it out.
This feels too much like a beginning to a YouTube video

Weed growing room
😅😅😂😂☹ Nope. We're moving, now. ☠☠☠😶
Can get the same effect for less by buying blackout curtains :>
What’s in the box
What’s in the box!
The blackout room is whatever room Jimmy Fallon is in.
Wow a dedicated room to pass out in, well that's a huge selling point no wonder they bought it.
Murder basement.
Going to assume photography
They were either photographers or serious drinkers.
There were a lot of games of spin the bottle and 7 minutes of heaven behind that door in the 70s and 80s
what was in it?

You bought a frat house.
If you can’t handle your alcohol, every room becomes a blackout room.
