We have a big electric sub station by us; there's our neighbours back garden (we're semi-detached) then a fence then the sub station. It's quite a big square one, all fenced off. Occasionally we can hear it hum if we're out in the garden but you have to listen for it. My neighbours have lived nearer to it than us for about 20 years, they've bought up 2 kids there and they are fine.
They recently put their house up for sale, and it went under offer within 3 days. A house 2 doors up from them also went really quickly. It's not something that seems to bother house buyers here.0 -
@Davesnave, it's the area that's attracting me. Life is gonno be so easier as it is in town area. Schools, work, shops everything is so near. Will not need a car. Price wise it's ok too. Also rooms are smaller than we'd prefer but we were ready to sacrifice that mainly for the area.0
