Have you ever thought about what it would be like to live on cemetery grounds? Now is your chance as a property in Blackburn is on the market.

Cemetery Lodge House, on Whalley New Road, is based at Blackburn Old Cemetery. It is on the market for £379,950.

According to Fardella & Bell Estate Agents, which is marketing the property, it was originally built as a registrar’s office.

The quirky home, which dates back to 1860, has a gothic-inspired design, with three bedrooms and a study.

The outside of the home is said to showcase a “striking blend of rustic charm and traditional aesthetics” with stunning stone arched windows.

At the entrance you will find a “magnificent arched doorway” that enhances the property’s architectural character.

In the hallway you will find a feature staircase and vents for a diesel-powered night heater.

The dining room boasts gothic-style windows as well as a cosy feature fireplace, with a wooden mantle and tiled hearth. This room also has solid pine wood flooring.

There is room in the quirky property for an office but can be transformed into a space of your choosing. It has gothic-style leaded windows and laminate flooring.

The downstairs toilet is described as “larger than most” and the windows provide a lot of light in the space. It also has its own vanity-style sink unit.

Heading to the kitchen you will find three windows and coving to the ceiling. There is a free-standing gas oven and hob and breakfast bar area to enjoy your meals.

Arguably, the living room is the heart of the home with a large bay window that floods the room with light. It has a gas-effect log burner, surrounded by a marble hearth and mantle. There is also a large ceiling chandelier.

The master bedroom is described as “breath-taking” and “flooded with natural light”.

Fardella & Bell said: “This is something we dream of waking up to every day and could soon be your reality. With ceiling light point, enough space to hold a super king size bed, fitted carpet, television point and two central heating radiators.”

The second bedroom is also said to have “large proportions” and bedroom three has enough space for a double bed.

The bathroom also boasts gothic-style window and a freestanding bath.

The cellar truly adds to the home’s gothic aesthetic. Wooden steps lead down to it and there is lighting and power points. Currently, this area is used as a gym.

The garden can be accessed via the kitchen.  There are original stone walls and outside lighting.

The garden boasts patio, lawn and gravel areas that wrap around the side of the property.

A spokesperson for Fardella & Bell Estate Agents said: “Fardella & Bell is proud to bring to the market this three bedroom detached property in the ever popular area of Whalley New Road in Blackburn.

“This charming property combines the tranquillity of a cemetery setting with the timeless elegance of a gothic-inspired architectural design.
