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.
That’e because 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.

However, the home is smack bang underneath the M5 motorway
‘I would live in constant irrational fear that a car would land on my house,’ said another.
Someone else commented: ‘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.
‘Beautiful property but couldn’t get past the M5 being above,’ agreed another viewer.
But others defended the location.
One wrote: ‘The noise isn’t that bad, you get used to it.’
‘Didn’t realise I’ve been driving over such a lovely house,’ commented another person.
Another joked: ‘In all fairness the M5 is at a standstill most weeks so probably not that noisy.’

Set across three floors, the main property is full of character, with wooden beams, exposed brickwork, and large windows flooding it in natural light
The holiday let has ‘had much of the work completed for a future owner’, with finishing touches required before it is ready for occupation
The estate agent suggests holiday let could prove very popular given its close proximity to popular towns Clevedon and Portishead
Described as a ‘truly unique opportunity’, the property is currently on the market with Greenslade Taylor Hunt for £475,000

Set across three floors, the main property is full of character, with wooden beams, exposed brickwork, and large windows flooding it in natural light.
The holiday let has ‘had much of the work completed for a future owner’, with finishing touches required before it is ready for occupation.
The estate agent suggests holiday let could prove very popular given its close proximity to popular towns Clevedon and Portishead, with the new owner still able to live on-site in the main house.
They noted that the area of land under the M5 motorway viaduct forms part of the sale, called a ‘creeping freehold’.
Described as a ‘truly unique opportunity’, the property is currently on the market with Greenslade Taylor Hunt for £475,000.
