Double glazing or not, you're still going to be more than aware of big vehicles rushing past.
My OH's brother and wife are currently trying to sell a beautiful 2 bed cottage near Stratford Upon Avon at the moment. It is truely lovely, competatively priced for the area however every viewer has commented on its situation on a busy main road with no parking, and has been put off almost immediately. They've had to drop the price again.
Presumably thought the same issue meant they bought cheaper?0 -
I would not want the busy road.
You said property one has a 2m wide garden? is that correct seems very very narrow0 -
I don't know if they did to be honest. I think they fell in love with the place and accepted the road, but over time it has become a real issue for them..a heart over head scenario.
They also now have a 1 year old, and it is totally inconvenient in terms of getting baby in and out of the car/into the house, so anyone with a young family is going to be really put off by the house's location.Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -

It might be a shade wider, but all the houses in that block have very long/narrow gardens. This isn't the one we're buying, but it has a similar garden layout. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/s6p/236593770 -
I wouldn't go for either due to parking. I would want to be able to park my own car, but also have safe parking (on road even) for visitors.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

Come up north,We have grass up here...It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
