An old morgue has come on the market with the potential to be turned into a 'scary' Airbnb. The abandoned property is set to go under the hammer at an auction on April 26 and 27 with an estimated price of £55,000.
It is thought that the space was last used as a mortuary around 20 years ago and has fallen into disrepair ever since. This means that whoever buys the property will need to be prepared to give it a full renovation - or demolish it and bring it back to life.
The derelict morgue in Staffordshire has already captured the attention of some investors who are reportedly wanting to turn it into "some kind of spooky themed Airbnb" that you can stay in overnight.

The derelict mortuary boasts a large entrance area as well as original embalming room - which even comes with a bath.
Auctioneers at John Pye Auctions say that the property is in such a poor state and have warned potential buyers to take great care when "undertaking" an inspection of the former morgue.
Pictures show the building surrounded by overgrown shrubs and weeds while the rooms are piled high with rubbish.
An abandoned bath tub, desk and heating unit can all be spied in the photographs as well as crumbling walls, stained tiles and holes in the ceiling panels.
Brave buyers will have access to the nearly half-an-acre plot which is located next to a chapel.
Auctioneer Helen Bingley said: "It's going to make a amazing project for someone and has huge potential.
"There is quite a market for historical buildings of this nature that people are interested in staying in overnight.
"Other unusual buildings we have had for sale in the past include an observatory, water tower, a former army barracks and windmill, all have proved to be attention grabbers at auction."
The morgue is just one mile from Cheddleton Village and 10 miles from Stoke-on-Trent making it potentially attractive to commuters.
