About five years ago, a development of six of these were put up twenty mins walk from me in a gated development off a main road.
Is there a chance that knowing the location more precisely, I could find out more about them? If they're private homes, probably not, unless the development was some sort of news at the time. I'd be interested to learn more about them.
I've always understood the panoramic views that can be had by locating one in a good open spot in a bit of land, but six sited very closely together with communal parking, struck me as rather odd, if for no other reason than privacy issues.
I'm completely on board. Due to a childhood trauma, I have a "thing" about ground floor windows. But I could see putting the full glass treatment to the first level above ground, and any levels above that. For example, I've always wanted a house on high ground overlooking the ocean with a "turret" on top that's glass all around.
Although the view behind is great, the bulk of the view is dominated by a motorway and one of the largest supermarket distribution centres in south-east England; this did not stop one being marketed and sold after a few months with an asking price of £985,000. I'm not sure if the location, proximity of other similar properties or the asking price shocks me most.
Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm bloody well not going to spend a million pounds for a view of a motorway and a flippin' warehouse.
