However, there are plenty that are suitable, maybe I could run my rightmove.com list past you sometime? The Romsey house was a good 30 or 40k less than equiv in Hedge End, (enough for a car or two ), but there may good reason for that.. |

no i'd not recommend grange park, its an ok estate, i lived there for a year or so, but like you say its a bit "tudoresque and cheesey"
romsey is a really nice area, shouldn't take you more than 20 mins to get to work too. |

It's obviously worse during rush hour, but it's attrocious at weekends too. I've only ridden/driven there a few times around there at times other than those (eg middle of the afternoon) and it's still worse than most places, but by no means intolerable in a car. My brother lives there and is considering re-learning to ride and getting a bike, largely because of the traffic problems. Bearing in mind he works unsociable hours and avoids the worst of it, yet still finds it a big problem should be indicative of the extend of it. That said, this is all largely irrelevant if you have a bike. Hope this helps. |

On my last visit to the airport I tried to go see a house at Fair Oak, at about 4pm. The journey was so bad I dismissed the house because of it. The Airport employees I have spoken to reckon its 20 mins to just get onto the M27 from the airport in peak times, but once on the motorway its usually predictable wherever you are going. I'll prolly be using the bike as much as possible, parking in the short term car park is free for bikes However, I still need to have an alternative strategy. Thanks for your input. |
