A mate of mine Col, had a 4 bed detached in tamworth, nice area, house was cracking, but in his garden you could see the pylon about 100 metres away and the cable went directly over his garden.

Two things that put me off about it,

Birds would eat the berries from nearby trees and sit on the cables all day and then poop, it was purple in colour which went all over his cars, garden furniture, windows etc etc.

The cables used to buzz terrible, sometimes it was really loud, it would get on your nerves after a while.

It took him over a year to sell it and a massive reduction in cost as loads came to see it and loved the house but everyone commented it was the pylon putting them off.
