creepy house who us going to buy this.

[MrsBucketxx]

It needs work, but the garden description is a no for me. Here

Pricey for the amount of work needed! And it seems to back on to the railway.
Can one rebury previous owners elsewhere?

wow, that is a ridiculous price for a property that needs to be totally renovated.

The garden wouldn't worry me..I'd like to imagine that the previous owners loved the house so much that they wanted to stay close.
The price would though.

I was thinking "it's a bit of a fixer upper but not creepy". And THEN I got to the garden description yikes! Guess an outdoor swimming pool is out of the question!

is it the yellow house?

I can't figure that out from the plans. There is a front door with a room with a window to its left which would be the sitting room as marked on the plans, but where is the windowless study? next door????

Isn't that illegal?
Surely you can't just bury people wherever you choose

I think its the yellow one.

Dead ex owners in the garden yuk yuk yuk.

No pools there then.

I thought that too mozz.

It's the white house with the two pink doors.

Terrible photos.

oh right, so it has two front doors really? how unusual.

It wouldn't worry me - I am puzzled that it apparently has no kitchen though (maybe they died of starvation...).

One of the front doors leads into the study so perhaps the previous owners ran a business and clients visited the office there? It depends where the house is in Teddington but, tbh, £650k isn't a huge amount for the area. It's quite pricey because it's so close to mega-expensive Richmond.

It wouldn't bother me in a creepy way but I assume they are under that ugly looking arch in the middle of the garden. I would feel bad moving it or changing it.

£650,000 is ridiculous, I thought it was £65,000 at first.

Wow, what a price! But otherwise, I am slightly embarrassed to admit, I think it's wonderfully weird! I wouldn't be bothered about sharing with the previous occupants, but I'd be inclined to give them a spooky sort of memorial (like this, perhaps: www.urban75.org/blog/the-curious-pyramidal-tomb-of-william-mackenzie-in-liverpool/), to make it more of a feature.

Definitely a project though, and I'd even be inclined to return the front to be flush with next door... Yes, you'd lose a bit of space, but regain the front yard, you wouldn't have to maintain the tree-infested flat roof, and you could rationalise the number of front doors.

I wonder if it's just their ashes, or actual bodies? Ashes I wouldn't mind, but you could never have any work done in the garden could you? And if you got them moved, they might come back and haunt you!

They'd have to have had permission from the police I think.
I'd get somebody in to exhume them and rebury them in a church yard but it would cost.

We found a bone in our garden the other day, hopefully one a fox abandoned after a bit of hunting! (disclaimer, we know it's an animal bone)

i'd love to get in there and get a feel of the building.

One of the rooms has a window looking into another room?? Pic2?

But the ceilings have been replastered in places by the looks of things. Pics 2,3 and 5.

The folks in the garden would not bother me a jot.

This article in the Guardian says it was a burial and exhuming the bodies would cost about £7k .

I know it's not a joking matter, but makes me think back to the first few days when the bodies are Fred West's victims where found.

surely it is the ashes only, I thought bodies could only be buried in consecrated ground ? Would give me the creeps TBH.

I saw this. Sadly the price looks pretty reasonable for the area. Wouldn't like living there with them, wouldn't like digging them up.

The dead don't harm you - only the living.

NatashaBee well I didn't know that, very interesting.

I think you can bury three without planning permission. Depends on the water courses and stuff like that though!
