In the 'spirit' of Halloween let's take a look at some homes in reputedly eerie locations across the UK...

This gorgeous four-bedroom detached barn conversion is located in the highly sought after village of Barley, near Pendle Hill which is famous for it's stunning scenery.

Idsall House, High Street, Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52 3AY

According to Haunted Britain, Pluckley is in competition with Prestbury for the title of 'Most Haunted Village in England'. Apparently it's most famous ghoul is a hooded monk known as 'The Black Abbott', who appears around Christmas, Easter, and All Souls Day (yep, we had to look that one up too).

If the thought of a hooded monk popping up every so often doesn't give you the heebie-jeebies, then take a peek at Idsall House - a beautifully presented Grade II Regency villa set in a discreet position in the village.
