RESIDENTS living next to the M1 say thousands of cars speed past every day – but they love it thanks to a clever privacy trick.<\/p>\n

The roaring motorway runs past a vast housing estate in Shepshed, Leicestershire.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

But visitors are stunned when they come to the estate and cannot hear the thundering traffic.<\/p>\n

A high fence acts as an "acoustic barrier" – completely blocking out the noise.<\/p>\n

Local Joe Jarvis, 28, said: "It's relatively peaceful but you would think it would be loud and disruptive.<\/p>\n

"We must only be 200 yards from the motorway, you can see the lampposts towering over but you can't see the road or any traffic, or really hear it."<\/p>\n

"Most people would be put off buying a house beside a motorway but it's a dream home for us."<\/p>\n

"We have no neighbours in front, just a huge fence and the M1 and it doesn\u2019t give us any hassle."<\/p>\n

"There is an acoustic barrier, so the land in front dips then rises up to a bank with greenery and fencing blocking out the sound and view. It works wonders."<\/p>\n

He added: "On occasions, on the wrong day, a wet and windy one, \u00a0the noise of traffic is a louder with the with lorries and cars.<\/p>\n

"But we do enjoy living here so do our cats. We've tracked one of them walking for three miles along the motorway."<\/p>\n

His wife Jodie said: "It's not silent, there is a bit of noise but we got used to it in the first couple of months.<\/p>\n

"We got our home a few years ago and it was good value.<\/p>\n

"It has three beds and three bathrooms and we bought it for \u00a3225,00. <\/p>\n

"We recently had it valued, and it has gone up \u00a350,000."<\/p>\n

ON THE FENCE<\/h2>\n

Mum-of-two Victoria West said: \u201cIf the motorway is ever closed at night for repairs it is deadly quiet – I have trouble sleeping.<\/p>\n

"You get used to the noise, it\u2019s not loud but it is there in the background and it\u2019s soothing and helps me sleep.<\/p>\n

"I keep my windows open all night and at times it is so quiet you could hear a pin drop."<\/p>\n

A huge wooden privacy fence reinforced with metal bolsters and a sound screen blocks out the eight-lane motorway.<\/p>\n

Hospital nurse Max Machivenyika said: "When you are inside you don't hear a thing.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019ve got a three-bed house which I bought two years ago for \u00a3250,000. <\/p>\n

"If you were buying in Leicester it would be twice as much.<\/p>\n

"We have no neighbours in front of us – apart from the M1."<\/p>\n
