This house has a rather unexpected feature

There’s a house up for sale in Middleton, Leeds, with some rather unusual features.

Included is eco-friendly heating, solar panels, and a dead body buried in the garden.

That last bit might give you pause, but don’t worry, there’s nothing untoward going on.

The three-bedroom home is being sold by the previous owner’s family, who have explained that the man’s final wish was to be buried within the property’s grounds.

The family agreed to the request, so the previous owner’s body is now buried in the back garden, with part of the space currently rented from Leeds City Council.

The previous owner was born in this home, spent his whole life there, and died in it, too, so it makes sense that the property would provide his final resting place.

A notice on the house’s Rightmove listing, which has since been removed, reads: ‘Please be aware this property is being sold by family members as part of a relatives estate. It was the deceased’s wishes to be buried in the garden as he was born and died in the house.

‘This wish has been carried out and the property will be sold as is.’

The kitchen and dining space

The house itself would make a great investment for anyone unbothered by the presence of a dead body.

Inside there are three bedrooms, an entrance hall, a large kitchen and dining area, a living room, one bathroom, and a conservatory.

There’s double-glazing throughout and the heating system includes a gas boiler and a wood-burning stove in the living area.

And here’s the bathroom

Outside there’s a shared drive and parking to the front of the house, plus the back garden, which also has a wood shed for storage.

Location-wise, the house sits four miles from Leeds city centre and has a bunch of shops and amenities nearby, with easy access to the surrounding towns of Morley, Rothwell, and Wakefield, too.

And with an asking price of £125,000 through Manning Stainton, the house is a bit of a bargain.
