Have you ever bought a house with absolutely no parking?

[ParkingProblemo]

It's a parking one! Kinda

We've seen a house, which is perfect in every way except that it has absolutely no parking at all. It's a period property which opens straight onto the road so no driveway. That's not a problem in itself...but the road is a narrow dead-end and has double yellows on both sides. There are no roads leading off it that could be used for residential parking either.

We've emailed the agent about it but had no response. Whilst I love the idea of living on a street with basically no cars (we currently live on a main road!) it seems wildly impractical in reality.

Would you / have you bought a house on a road you couldn't park on?

We did. It was pretty much exactly as you said, very old house in a very old village, front door opened straight onto the road. Big garden, but fully walled so no chance of putting in parking. We absolutely LOVED that house, and 2 of our kids were born there. It was a historic tourist kind of village and had a central car park, which we used. It was free, and there was an access lane, so in reality was only a couple of hundred metres from our house ( but longer to drive to if that makes sense?). I think 4 of us on the street had no parking and used the car park, we kind of had our own little corner, next to the walking access. It got a lot harder when we had kids, eapecially babies, especially when it was cold/snowy, but it was fine, and worth it for the house we loved. We used to park right up against the house, put on hazard lights and unload heavy stuff straight in the door, then move straightaway to the car park if we needed to. A car could still easily fit past ( a tractor and trailer did once!) so we weren't blocking the road. If you love the house, REALLY love the house, you'll figure it out and it will be worth it.
