Hi there

Sorry to but in ! I stumbled upon your forum quite by accident....

I live on Old Hinckley Road !!

I moved here a year ago with my two kids after sepeting from my partner. I have to say.... I love it ! Ok, when I first moved in, the traffic noise at bedtime ( my room is on the front ) used to bother me as I'm an extremely light sleper, but now... I sleep like a log ! Yes, the road is busy at some parts of the day, rush hour and early evening when the Linx lorries all drive past, but generally it's not too bad.

I'm on the side backing onto the railway embankment. The garden is wonderful

No, it's not massive but as big as my old St Nicolas Park address with TONS more character, mature trees and LOTS of wildlife. You don't really notice the traffic at the rear of the house so it's like a little haven. Everyone is alwyas surprised when they visit and see out the back.

Inside as well, the 3 bedroom terrace that I'm in is HUGE compared to the 3 bed detached I was in, and full of old character, high ceilings, original fireplaces etc and very large lofts, ideal for converting !

And yes, for walking to town it's great, something I do quite often !

My first experience of a 'town house' and I love it

Hi there. Thanks unregistered for your advice. We are very taken with the house, you're quite right about their character and charm. Do you have any off road parking? The house we're looking at has no off-street or on-street parking, which is a concern.
