Hello everyone,
We have the opportunity to buy a house. The location itself is great—especially in terms of our commute to work.
The house would also have a nice, large garden, which would be wonderful for our children.
However, I’m still a bit concerned about the orientation of the house. I roughly sketched the position of the house on the plot and attached the sketch. The house is located in the southeast corner of the lot. The plot borders a relatively busy road to the south (on the edge of town) and a less busy road to the east (entrance to the town). The garden is therefore to the north of the house, where a terrace could be placed.
Do you view this location as problematic? I find it particularly hard to judge, especially in winter, how much this would actually affect me.
I can’t say much about the house itself yet—we still need to visit it. But you naturally start thinking about these things.
Thanks in advance for your insights, ideas, and thoughts!
