Mystery vent

rsynnott

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but couldn’t think of anywhere better.

At the front of the house I’ve got two vents covered by flap. One, at about head height, is a normal kitchen extractor fan vent, and the flaps open when the fan’s on.

The other is an identical vent near ground level. If opened manually, I can see it’s connected to a flexible pipe, like the extractor fan one. No idea where it leads.

Photo attached, plus one of the kitchen extractor for comparison. Anyone got any idea what it’s for? There’s no issue with it that I know of; I’m just curious

For a tumble dryer?

put a phone playing music at full volume into the vent and walk round listening for it.

Could be tumble dryer or left there for the possibility of a tumble dryer in the future.

Aha, yep, that’s probably it. I don’t have a vented dryer but there might well have been one once. Thanks.
