We are looking to get as close to my parents as we can for childcare before and after school, its currently taking 20 minutes each way both morning and night, and we would like to reduce that. Ideally we would be in the same village, but this is about 5 minutes from there.
I have since read your last post (thanks for the info) and I have seen the plans on the council's website and noticed that the current owners objected the plans as the gardens are going to be too close. Might be a factor for negotiation.0 -

I did notice this so perhaps there will be 2 fences. I am going to have a drive to the development and see what the situation is soon.

I am not aware that there is any social housing on the site0

I am not that keen on the nearby council estates to be honest. There are some houses there that are not in the best of condition.
My feeling that the house is overpriced for where it is, plus the electricity substation and the new housing overlooking the garden plus the fact that it is next to a council estate. All of those taken together will put people off and if it hasn't sold since last year then it is priced higher than people want to pay for it.0 -
Those are 3 bed there are 2beds on the site.
Check the interactive site plan.0 -
Knowing the area (as you obviously do too) I initially thought that was way over-priced.....but then I saw the size of the garage, sold it for me.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

Based on my observation of other new build estates I think they will more likely than not overlook your garden, it really depends how big an issue being overlooked is for you and your family. Some people aren't overly bothered, for others (like us) it's a deal breaker.0
