Hi,
My parents are moving to be closer to family and after a shaky start, think they may have found a house that works for them. Nice, well equipped area, close (but not too close 😉) to me, decent size house and garden, so doesn't feel like a big downsize, which is something they were worried about. Plus it's under budget by quite a bit, which is a huge, unexpected bonus! The only real sticking point is the road noise. The village is just off a very busy main road. Not so close you'd worry about pollution, but close enough to hear a constant whoosh, only in the garden, but a garden is very important to them, as is general peace and quiet and they do sit in their garden a lot.
I think because it ticks so many other boxes, they're wondering if this is something they'd get used to and perhaps not really notice in time - almost like white noise.
If you do live or have lived somewhere near a noisy road, did you get used to it or do you regret it?
TIA
