Ordinary-looking home goes on market for £760,000 complete with a chapel – and a deathly secret

THIS ordinary-looking home complete with a chapel has gone on the market for £760,000 - but it comes with a deathly secret too.

Boasting three bedrooms and a whopping seven bathrooms, it's hard to imagine why this huge house incorporates such a strange selection of spaces.

Even the narrow corridors provide an inkling of the true purpose of this building, as they are furnished with various seating options sporting a string of garish patterns only funeral homes can get away with.

Built in 1949, the historical home does offer heaps of potential as it has 32 different rooms to make use of.

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE

We previously told how a Massachusetts couple knowingly snapped up a funeral home to renovate - before discovering their new home was in fact a hospital in the 1900s.

Mike and Robin Legere were so taken aback by the rich history of the place, they decided to share their intriguing story on social media.

And another pair bought a 98-year-old mortuary to fix up into a family home - and found a creepy hidden room.

The concealed space in a basement was where bodies were embalmed and was even equipped with a drain in the floor leading directly to a sewer with hooks.

But if you are still looking for your dream funeral home to do up, this one in Swansea could be the perfect pad for you.

It was put on the market for just £45,000, but it's a big undertaking for any DIY enthusiast as the property has fallen into a state of disrepair - filled with rubbish and missing even the basics.

Estate agents even say it is just too dangerous to look around inside because of the parlour's parlous state - but it can be brought back to life.
