    Some people might have grave concerns, buying this one:

    "The property is sold subject to a restrictive covenant whereby the graves of the former occupiers of the bungalow, currently buried in identified grounds within the site, remain in situ. This particular location is already partly screened from the bungalow itself. "

    I quite like it and I'd certainly look at it, were I not already trying to rescue something similar. We only have horse graves here, however. ;)
    Sounds like a good place for the vegetable plot, to me.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Seems a bit picky on who can buy it though

    The local Planning Authority have imposed an occupancy restriction on the dwelling in that occupancy shall be restricted to:

    a)A person solely or mainly working, or last working on a rural enterprise in the locality, or a widow, widower or surviving civil partner of such a person, and to any resident dependants; or, if it can be demonstrated that there are no such eligible occupiers,

    b)A person or persons who would be eligible for consideration for affordable housing under the Local Authority's housing policies, or a widow, widower or surviving civil partner of such person, and to any resident dependants. :(

    Also pics 6 and 8!

    I've also just noticed that the title describes it as a two bedroom bungalow but it actually has three.

    Are we sure they weren't cremated (photo 7)?

    I'm surprised that people would think to disturb a grave though. Surely anyone would leave them? Some greedy developer I suppose might.

    Nice flat, check out pic 7, I think the way they have styled the courtyard so it looks like pubes at the bottom of a shower tray is really going to sell this place.

    I just don't understand the point of those 2 photos!!!! (7 & 10) Waste of time imo.

    As a repo, it is a bit tatty, also the CCTV sign in pic 1 is a bit worrying but I think it is worthy of this thread due to pic 5

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Pics 8 and 9 add a considerable amount to the sale-ability of the property

    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    Occupancy conditions are a fairly standard thing on 'modern' property with land in the countryside, though this one's a bit more flexible than some. With all the cuts, I wonder who polices them? They sure don't in my neck of the woods!:rotfl:

    Absolute tosh to suggest it could otherwise go to someone who needed affordable housing, as anything with land is never particularly affordable. Over there, an affordable house would be almost half that price, and you could get a mortgage on it. Mortgage providers don't like occupancy clauses.

    Nah, that's just ye olde country custom of "Set a bonefire and burn all ye rubbishe as ye finally exit the homestead."

    Ours was still burning when we arrived, days after they vacated. Unfortunately, the wind had changed and the fire had damaged a rather nice tulip tree beyond saving and the embers had made many pretty holes in the polytunnel. :(
