Picturesque semi-detached house surrounded by idyllic fields hits market for £475k- but there's a huge catch
A PICTURESQUE semi-detached house surrounded by idyllic fields has hit the market for £475,000 - but there's a huge catch. The Grade II-listed home in Clevedon, Somerset, has caused a stir on social media. 10 10 10 10 The main home boasts two bedrooms and a studio annex, plus a two-bedroom holiday let, as well as six acres of woodland. Set across three floors, the main property is full of character, with wooden beams, exposed brickwork, and large windows flooding it in natural light. But the initially ideal semi-detached home is smack bang underneath the M5 motorway. Shocking listing images shows its sat in a less-than-desirable location, with the bustling motorway plonked almost directly overhead. The key route links the South West with the Midlands – meaning it is in constant use. The bizarre pictures were shared on social media, where viewers pointed out the impracticalities of the spot. One user commented: 'Surely sleep is impossible.' 'I would live in Constance irrational fear that a car would land on my house,' said another. Someone else wrote: 'Not being funny that property would be double if it wasn't under the m5.' 'Without the m5 it would be like the perfect house,' another person added. 10 10 10 10 'Beautiful property but couldn't get past the M5 being above,' agreed another viewer.

Someone else joked: 'In all fairness the M5 is at a standstill most weeks so probably not that noisy.' The holiday let has 'had much of the work completed for a future owner', with finishing touches required before it is ready for occupation.

Stunning semi-detached house with VERY good transport links and glorious surroundings could be yours for £475,000 - but it comes with a massive catch
A stunning semi-detached house in the countryside has gone on the market for £475,000 - but there's a big catch that is raising eyebrows. The Grade II-listed home is surrounded by idyllic fields and looks set to be a beautiful traditional cottage-core abode. However, the location has caught the attention of TikTok users, in a post that has gone viral with 60,000 views. As for why? Well, the Clevedon, Somerset home is smack bang underneath the M5 motorway. Pictures show the less-than-desirable location with the bustling motorway almost directly overhead. The motorway is the key route linking the South West with the Midlands meaning it is in constant use. After pictures were shared on social media, people were quick to point out the impracticalities of the spot. 'Surely sleep is impossible,' one user wrote.

Described as a 'truly unique opportunity', the property is currently on the market with Greenslade Taylor Hunt for £475,000.

Chaos on Sydney M5 Motorway shut after crane crashes on its side
A major Sydney motorway was closed in both directions after a crane rolled over on Tuesday morning, sending the roads into chaos and leaving one man in hospital. Both lanes on the M5 Motorway East Tunnel have been closed after a crane rolled on its side about 11.30am on Tuesday. Motorists were told avoid the area as lanes were shut in both directions. The mortorway was closed citybound and westbound directions from General Holmes Dr, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Rd. 'Citybound motorists are being diverted onto King Georges Rd off-ramp to use D5 detour,' a Live Traffic NSW post read. The Marsh St westbound on-ramp to the M5 has also been closed, as has the citybound on-ramp to the M5 from Kingsgrove Rd. 'Westbound lanes of the motorway are closed from General Holmes Drive, while citybound lanes remain closed from Bexley Road,' the LiveTraffic NSW update read. A Transport NSW spokesman told NewsWire emergency services and crews were on site. 'Motorists are advised to avoid the area and can consider using the D5 detour instead in both directions,' they said. 'Due to the nature of the incident, there is no forecast as to when all lanes will reopen.' An Ambulance NSW spokesperson told NewsWire a man in his 20s was treated at the scene and transported to St George Hospital in a stable condition.
