Hi all

So we are buying a house on a road in an area in nottingham. It is a 30mph road and is probably classed as a main road in this area. It doesn’t connect any towns but it has some of the shops etc on this road. We have a 2 year old and another one on the way.For some reason it’s niggling at the back of my mind but I do love the house and think it is the right decision for us, it has a really big garden, garage, potential to extend etc. it also has a small drive for one car and space outside for another. I’d say the flow of cars on the road is consistent but never busy if that makes sense. But it’s very rare you won’t see at least 1 or 2 cars driving on it all the time. No build up of traffic on this street usually either. Just a steady flow of a few cars all the time. It is also a bus route.

Would this bother you?

Thank you all in advance!

Always do a Street View and look at what's opposite.

The enormous pub and function room directly opposite this house would put me off far more than the road.

(I know you said this isn't actually the house you're looking at. But as a general principle...)

That was our compromise,quite a busy road during the day but from 6pm not so much traffic,surprisingly the noise doesn’t bother us,big enough semi detached house with a large garden and garage.

I thought that @RandomQuest

Thank you all for your input! It’s really given me food for thought :) as I said it’s not the house we are buying but is on that street. The houses on that street do sell quite fast as well which makes me think it can’t be that much of an issue
