I wonder if the OP has thought about getting Phil and Kirstie on the case!

I can just picture the various asides-to-camera.

I have also spotted this, which is only slightly above your ideal price, but is a little bigger than the one in Nightingale Drive and could be a compromise between the two:

Miserable failure of the piano test.

Damn!  Presumably the Nightingale Drive one would also fail.... though thinking about it, both properties have dining areas - surely the piano could be sited there?

Hi again. The issue is that if the living rooms/dining rooms are adjacent to each other the neighbours are likely to be disrupted. Some semi detached houses have the stairs and kitchens in the centre and the living rooms to the outer side, which is much better. The nightingale drive house is the latter, stairs and kitchen adjoining, living and dining on the opposite side away from the party wall.

You need to have your "lightbulb" moment soon dan.

So when are you viewing the property then?

Perhaps your compromise is the neighbours. Not like there's a law against it.

My next door neighbour plays the trumpet professionally and plays/ practices for >14 hours a day sometimes. Admittedly, they now have a garden room he uses, but occasionally it'll be in the house and the missus bursts into operatic scales now and again. We don't mind at all. Quite proud of it.

Unless you play like Les Dawson, perhaps it's not as much of a problem as you're predicting.

OP is just looking for excuses to stay in his existing safe little bubble.I mean it's not like a room would have four walls, only one of which would be joined onto the neighbouring house, or that he has actually checked how sound would travel. And certainly none of the residents of any of those houses that fail the piano test would ever have music or TVs.  And all their children would be seen and not heard ...

My Mum always said that if the neighbours weren’t deaf before they shared a party wall with us, they were afterwards!  We were a family of 4 plus various pets (2 cats and a large dog at one stage) plus a piano, flute, recorder (!) and singing.  Unless you are going to be practicing between midnight and 6am each day, or the neighbours work nights, it shouldn’t be a problem.

That probably made me laugh more than it should.  I can just imagine the OP banging out a few classic tunes of an evening

Was thinking how I'd far rather have an occasional player than my sister when her 3 kids were young! (Or even older, tbh. There's a lot of rows.)
