YOU have a chance to "own a piece of history" after an estate agent revealed a Victorian cemetery cottage is for sale.
The grade II-listed cottage in Upton Cemetery is listed for £300,000 by Nicol & Co and offers a unique chance to live inside the cemetery's walls.
The two-bedroomed home was built in 1867 during the cemetery's construction and lies within the gardens of the graveyard.
Eleanor Stallard, sales and valuation manager at Nicol & Co, said: "Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a charming piece of history in a beautiful setting.
“This unique property, which has no onward chain, would be perfect for buyers looking for a home with historic charm and character.
“The lodge lies within the tranquil grounds of this historic cemetery, with a well-kept garden wrapped around the property providing a place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings."
“This property is ideal for professionals, or anyone looking to downsize while enjoying a home with historical significance, or indeed investment buyers looking for a unique holiday let.”
Inside the home, there are two reception rooms and two bedrooms, with the flexibility to potentially use the second reception room as a third bedroom on the ground floor.
There is a gentle blend of period features and modern conveniences with a modern kitchen diner, a large shower room on the ground floor and an additional toilet upstairs.
Rectory Road is close to the shops and other local amenities in Upton-upon-Severn, a town and civil parish in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire.
