    I wonder if the bypass was ever built. I couldn't have stood those big trucks and endless cars roaring right by my front door for one day, much less the four years Phil suggested it might take to complete. Even with the bypass, the town's local traffic would still be right there all day and night.

    All I can think is to build up on top of the brick wall out the front of the property 15:17 so the noise of the traffic would bounce off the wall. I have seen it done before with great results...Waiting for the bypass could take way too long. Plus one can always put small trees all along the inside of the wall in the courtyard, so it looks nice and green.

      I thought that but the space between house and wall is minimal. The ideas would block out light but without viewing physically it would be difficult to determine to what degree.

      thanks. I was wondering when it was that one could find a house for less than 250K like that.

    Who would buy a house where you need to bend down constantly to avoid bumping your head against the ceiling? That would be miserable.

    I think they should have built a simple new house from scratch with all the space they need and do without the „character“. Would be the best for the family.

    I'd consider laying spike strips...ok that's a fantasy. How about a series of four speed bumps? (All at different heights and odd distances between each.) You'd be hated by every trucker in England!!!! Might be worth it.

    The charm of the original show is lost with this new style. It used to be much more fun. You can't feel the amazing chemistry between Phil and Kirstie anymore. The funny off-camera commentaries between visits, gone. The feeling of struggling to find the right house and if the offers are going to be accepted, gone. Sadly, this is not entertaining enough to continue watching.
