This place is very similar. The back faces onto a dark garden which backs a park that shuts at night so very quiet and dark. 75% of the space faces there except this one room which actually lets in lots of beautiful daylight in the bay windows which look out over trees across the road and pretty victorians on a quiet residential road.

Our solution is have the front rooms for guests/TV room and the back room as our bedroom.

I like no window cover as well but the OH likes it dark.

I win when they are away.

What's you floor plan that requires a bedroom at the front with a bay window?

Because of the general sarcasm going on (I'm half dead with flu so not in the mood for that right now lol) I have just jumped to the end of the thread with this suggestion. It may be of no help whatsoever but I wondered if a window filter would be of any help https://www.amazon.co.uk/Privacy-Homegoo-Reflective-Adhesive-Protection/dp/B07P388YWL/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=window+light+filters&qid=1576266139&smid=A21HDWHPOJOCSG&sr=8-13

You'd still get light coming in but reduced and no one could see in. Or maybe there is something slightly different that would meet your needs. It might be more expensive, you might have to contact a window specialist, but it might help.

Get one of these off ebay and hang it from the top of the window frame

I can't believe no one has suggested bricking up the windows yet?

I struggle to understand why this could be reason to pull out of buying a property. Seems a bit extreme over something so seemingly trivial as a street light really.

I was going to suggest painting the windows black actually. Cheaper than bricks & much more mse! :cool:

Op if it disturbs you that much don't buy. I moved from a city to the countryside because I want my windows open at night and I can't stand traffic noise.

The traffic noise affected me for years. To the point where I wanted the council to close the road lol. It didn't affect anyone else in my family.

Now all I hear is owls and I sleep much better

Storm in a tea cup, just get some curtains, blinds etc and use them, but really a ground floor flat, not something I would buy.

I actually really struggle with closing curtains. It's like living in a goldfish bowl in our house, works keep them open permanently if I could get away with it (husband not so keen). I find closed curtains depressing (when I was young my mum was ill a lot and kept the curtains closed in the day).

I've bought a ground floor flat in the past. It was gorgeous. Much nicer and more roomy that the little box semis and detached on the rest of the estate.
