Would you buy this stunning £1.25million three-bed gothic house with one very big catch?

A 'dead' gorgeous family home inside Hanwell Cemetery in West London has gone on sale

A BOO-TIFUL family home in West London has gone sale - but there's a big catch.

The three-bedroom property in Hanwell, West London, is the market for a whopping £1,250,000.

It is in situated in large grounds, has restored gothic features and very quiet neighbours.

And the area is full of atmosphere - as the home is inside Hanwell Cemetery.

New owners may be reluctant to make an offer on the house as a graveyard isn’t the most conventional of dwellings - especially if you’re still living.

Also, the cemetery gates are bolted behind the last visitors to enter the property at night, locking everyone inside, although the owners will be given keys to get in and out.

 Simon Stone, of estate agents Unique Property Company, explains that there are only a handful of private properties that sit on a cemetery in London, so it’s a very rare opportunity.

Freddie Frinton was a comedian in the 1960s and is buried in the graveyard. He was in the sitcom ‘Meet the Wife’.

Simon Stone, of estate agents Unique Property Company, said “It’s a really beautiful home that has been restored to its former glory.

“The original features have been restored which really makes the house stand out.”

He said: "The house has no windows facing the graveyard.

“Whether that’s respect for the dead or out of superstition I’m not sure, the house is only yards away from it.

“The gates are beautiful and you get your own key and driveway access so you can come and go at night after they are locked.”

The house comes with a large garage, private garden, a dining and reception room and a bathroom.

The property also has plenty of restored original features including gothic arches, stone carvings, a stone fireplace and stained-glass windows, which give it an older feel.
