Surprise in your rose garden - Rightmove

[Chanandlerbong01]

Just browsing Rightmove earlier, glad I read the full description. Is this even legal?

Well, I wasn’t expecting that!

It’s not the best staged house. Why didn’t they close the toilet lid!

[Bargebill19]

I believe it is legal with permission from the local council. Presumably that’s been granted. Maybe they really mean that his ashes have been scattered there...?
Not entirely sure it would be something I would want in my garden - I’m thinking of future family of the deceased wanting to visit, which could be awkward. Not to mention if you wanted to extend etc.

[Miranda15110]

Oh dear, won't relatives come round and place flowers etc. Weird.

[Evenstar]

It is, but you do have to consult the Environment Agency to ensure any burial would not pollute a water course. I don’t think I would want to buy that house and I am sure it has been devalued and made harder to sell.

[NeverTrustaRabbit]

Yep, it's legal.....covered by the burial laws dating back to the late 1800's. You do have to own the home /land though.

People get attached to their homes.

I said exactly that about the toilet lid!

I didn’t think about it being ashes. I would just be terrified of the dog digging in the garden! If you look on the back garden picture there is a strip of mud across the middle.... is that it?

I think it is... He’s a bit close to the house, isn’t he? I’d be too scared to even put a patio down!

[NotCornflakes]

Two of my relatives' ashes were scattered in their gardens. I did think it was a bit odd. I don't know if it was declared when the houses were sold. We don't go and visit them!

[DrinkRefilled]

Wow. I mean kind of sweet that a man was born and died there.

But who the hell is gonna buy that!

[SavoyCabbage]

Rose garden is a stretch! It must mean ashes surely!

[Maireas]

All things considered, that's a very high asking price.

[NotCornflakes]

Oh sorry, didn't read properly, assumed it was ashes.

[UsernameFail]

Err look at the picture of the garden... anyone else notice the brown soil that looks like a burial spot?

[Bargebill19]

Would have though that is too close? -( I’m thinking pipes and electricity cables. ) Also it looks like a flower bed has been removed, there is one the other side of the path about the same size. Finally, it’s a bit of a zig zag hole....

I think it’s where the newish looking raised bed with young plants is. Bottom left od the garden picture.

[UsernameFail]

Hadn't seen your post @Chanandlerbong01 but I think you're right

[LegoAndLolDolls]

Is that a coffin shaped hole in the lawn?! Either way I cant unseen it now.

[redamancy]

I would focus on the ‘dead bloke over there’ all the time, I don’t see how anyone could look past this!

Also I wouldn’t let the kids run around over him out of respect, so bit pointless having the garden.

[Chanandlerbong01]

Did they even have to put it in the description. The born and died in the house is sweet, but it would put me off knowing someone died physically in my house. I know people have died in houses obviously but this feels really morbid.

[TokyoSushi]

Oh my! 😲

[LynetteScavo]

It's only £125k and has a local Aldi - it won't be in the market long no way would I buy it

[Chanandlerbong01]

@UsernameFail it seems as if they’ve just been plonked if that is where they are.

[Toddlerteaplease]

Yes, I know someone who had her husband buried in her garden, and she wanted to join him. She did tell me she'd left the house to the church. Whom I strongly suspect would exhume and sell it. I've not seen her for years though, and no one else seems to know what's happened to her.

[Clawdy]

I can't see anything!

[Chanandlerbong01]

@LynetteScavo I think for the area it is priced quite highly! It’s not somewhere I know but if you click see nearby at the bottom it’s the most expensive- although maybe it’s because of the added feature!
