we have had an offer accepted on an amazing house which is everything we wanted as a family, so much potential, great area, fantastic schools, close to our jobs, family and friends, a perfect forever home. BUT at the end of the garden runs a busy train line with trains going past every 3-5 minutes. The garden is 40ft and then another 30ft of trees until you reach the raised train tracks, which is a double line. We have viewed the house twice and been back several times at different times during the day and the trains vary in noise but are all gone within 3 seconds and it’s back to being a peaceful and quite cul-de-sac. I didn’t think too much about it at first but now things are progressing I can’t stop worrying about the train noise and if it’s going to cause problems for us when we move in. I am really interested to know for those of you that live with train lines at the end of your garden, especially at this frequency, what it’s like living with it every day and if maybe I’m blowing it out of proportion?
