    I have a graveyard at the side of my house and love it. It is an ancient graveyard though and no longer in use and has a 12th century ruined church in the grounds too.

    Some friends of my parents lived in a house in the middle of a graveyard, the husband had been the caretaker and bought the house off the church, they thought they'd struggle selling but they had loads of interest and a few ended up in a bidding war both couples were goths :eek:

    I dont think it would bother me for the perfect house.

    It will put me off but if vendors reduce the price enough to compensate that I might snatch it :D

    Nothing is a deal breaker as long as the price is appropriate.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    If it was a little quaint ild churcyard attached to a church it could be almost nice! But overlooking or being next to a large modern cemetery would be extremely depressing if you ask me. I viewed a house years ago and soon as I saw the cemetery next door (EA never told me ir was there!) I did a quick viewing and left sharply.:eek:
