Found a house we really like in our budget, good location BUT ...
While researching last night before 2nd viewing we found out the Large carpark (currently parking for the station) behind the property is to be redeveloped - mixed use retail & apartment blocks.
Not a disaster, arguably better than living by a forlorn carpark.
Hoever, work includes turning a narrow strip of unused land to the far side of next door's garden into a pedestrian walkway, connecting two rail stations a few streets apart in a more convenient way. It's reasonably wide & not v long, so not like dead man's alley.
Estate agent says no negative impact on ££ cos distance to station is reduced from 5 mins to 2 mins. Are we nuts to worry about it?
Would a lane so close put you off or not?
