Noise in front of the bedroom would annoy me too. Something can be done about it – doors can be closed considerately, a loud roof during rain can be made quieter, engine noises just have to be tolerated. That people can come home at any time of day or night should not be up for debate, and whether your neighbor has been partying, is coming from work, or whatever reason she was out really is none of your business.
Whether the neighbor "lied" from the start is an interpretation – why the carport is there now is unclear, sometimes there are good reasons for a change of plans.
That your neighbor could observe that visitors always park in a usual way in front of your house has nothing to do with her having to expect that this behavior will regularly remain the same when the situation changes due to the sale and development of the property. It would annoy me a lot if I were regularly parked in by neighbors' visitors and had no free access to my vehicle. In individual cases, of course, you can ring the door next door and ask for a maneuvering action, but making that a regular occurrence is out of the question.
If the cars are not on the path but on your property and this makes it less convenient for her to drive out of her carport, then that is naturally her problem; knowledge of reversing helps, or you simply park in reverse as a precaution – she chose the location of the carport herself.
Overall, a huge amount of emotion seems to be involved here. If you manage to cool these on your side down, you have a chance to continue living happily in the house. I think some self-management is the best key. In a less emotional atmosphere, noise protection measures on the carport can also be discussed. However, as long as it is apparent to your neighbor that you consider her a liar and criticize her lifestyle, you will have no chance of a factual improvement in the situation. If necessary, a local mediation center may help.
It is up to you to move out of the situation – and by that, I do not mean moving away, because you would simply take your part of the problem with you untreated. I wish you all the best with that and know that it is easy to write but not so easy to implement.
