Home For Sale, Comes With Skeleton In Basement

York, England (AHN) -- Lovers of historical homes and buildings could be tested on how much they truly appreciate authenticity, that is, if they are interested in buying a Georgian style home that was recently put on the market, because it comes complete with a human skeleton entombed in the basement.
When the home was built in the Georgian era, part of the basement was found to be the remnants of a Roman burial chamber. Workers built around it, and today the skeleton is visibly entombed in an archway.
The current owner of the building dubbed the remains, his "Roman Princess."
He told reporters he does not think the skeleton will be too much of a deterrent to buyers.
If it is a deterrent, and a prospective buyer wishes for it to be removed, that will take some doing.
Because the dwelling has a Grade II listing, meaning they are of special interest, and every effort will be made to preserve them, permission would have to be granted in order to make such changes. The Yorkshire Post also said it would likely be very costly as it would require "extensive archeology costs."
The building has been functioning as an office, but is slated to be converted into two homes.
