Barmy bus shelter literally on the doorstep of new-build Derbyshire home

Whoever buys this Derbyshire house won't have any excuse not to use public transport - after the property was built with a bus shelter literally on the DOORSTEP.

The garden path of the terraced house is completely blocked by the bus stop and would give an opportunity for passengers to see directly into the bedroom window.

The property, on Station Road in Langley Mill, is currently inaccessible and any new owners of the house would find it difficult to get in and out of the front door.

The bus shelter is still in use for the main H1 Trentbarton bus route from Derby to Nottingham.

Business development manager Julie Newing, 44, who lives nearby, said: “I noticed it a couple of days ago and couldn’t believe my eyes.

“The bus stop is part of the main bus route from Derby to Nottingham and it is still in use.

“It’s hysterical because anyone living in that house wouldn’t even be able to catch a bus because the shelter blocks their path.

“When there’s so much rubbish in the world going off in the world, you need this sort of thing to brighten your day.”
