Hi Bob, I'd not worry less about the railway tbh (in fact our first home was right beside the Banbury branch not far from here in Kidlington). There's not an awful lot of traffic. The Cotswolds line is as near as dammit irrelevant, so few services are there. The key is the A road and how much noise transmission there is.
I've never viewed the property as the price, whilst iirc quite reasonable (surprisingly so, I recall) when I noticed it some years ago, wouldn't have allowed us to renovate, plus we had moved away from the immediate area and are East of the M40, where we've stayed.
Incredibly helpful, thank you again!I've never viewed the property as the price, whilst iirc quite reasonable (surprisingly so, I recall) when I noticed it some years ago, wouldn't have allowed us to renovate, plus we had moved away from the immediate area and are East of the M40, where we've stayed.

How many brown envelopes did it take to allow that interior and a mezzanine floor in a G1 house, the planners were on my back for anything in a G2!
I have no knowledge of the place, but reading the description it stopped being a family home in 1936 and had a variety of uses (incl. as a nursing home) until 1978 when it was cut up into flats. Presumably the interior had decayed or been ripped out by then, and the attitude of planners towards these sorts of buildings was totally different (many of them were being knocked down at the time).NickCQ said:

That's epic although I'm not sure I'd want to be quite that close in the event of an accident. Would you evetually get fed up with the noise?DKL said:
