    I thought the same.
    Only thing I could find in street view was the keep clear painted on the road outside?

    Could it be location on a busy A road?

    If you look at the floor plan the layout s a little odd.

    It's set back off the main road though, no direct traffic in front of the house as it's a small private lane.

    I'm sure there's something daft we're missing.

    Added 17th June 2016 so a bit early to say no one is looking isn't it? Unless it was listed with another agent before.

    When I saw this one I thought, "Hmmmm....I'd have huge tower thingy envy regarding next door's tower thingy."

    But then, when I looked at the aerial photo, I saw next door can actually sit on top of their tower thingy and lord it over all around. There would be no hiding place in that garden!

    And next.... as I zoomed the aerial shot, I travelled through time to see that the playing fields behind had mysteriously lost their markings, while the local Academy had simultaneously been rebuilt....

    And finally, I thought, "Sell-off of playing fields for housing to pay for new Academy."

    Maybe I just have a suspicious mind. :o

    It's a very nice property though :)

    I know a lot of people say they feel being overlooked is an issue but, when you think about it, the majority of properties in the UK must surely be overlooked be it from a tower :) or simply the upstairs rooms of their neighbour.

    Unless your hobby is naked yoga not sure why it's a problem really. One of my neighbours has a roof terrace and I am pretty sure they are up there for the view rather than my weeding activities.

    As for the possible development behind. It's a good size garden and if houses were already there I doubt you would rule the house out.

    Bit tedious while building is going on I suppose but if that is reflected in the price perhaps a bargain to be had whilst you sit it out.

    They tell me that's one and the same thing.

    5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and a toilet downstairs too? What is the obsession with en-suites these days? Does anyone really need 4 showers and 5 toilets? They must have a cleaner!! :huh:
