  • What concerns should I have about buying a house 2 doors down from a cafe/bakery?
    The bakery's rear borders one side of the garden (not any other part of the house) and is subject to a party wall agreement which the Agent has sent us.
    The house is otherwise good. It's just off a busy high street (which has many benefits) so it's never going to be quiet.

  • Weight gain?

    It might stop being a bakery and become another A1 it A3 business at any point which might be annoying. I wouldn't mind the smell of fresh bread drifting in through my windows for example but I'd be less impressed if it became a greasy spoon and I had bacon odor 7 days a week

  • Expect a radio on at 4 am, lots of banging and clattering and big deliveries.

    Upside might be free hot doughnuts.

  • The smells coming from bakeries aren't always pleasant. I used to regularly walk past one in the small hours and it was kind of yucky and sour.

  • Bakeries do their baking in the small hours of the morning so that it's ready when they open in the morning. I'd be concerned about being woken up at 3am by the smell of delicious pastries. Also potentially noise but mainly the pastries.
