Right under the flight path for the airport...
Yes, directly underneath the flight path. But then those who live in such situations will vouch that they get used to it and are no longer bothered by the aircraft noise. Fortunately, the traffic at the Luton airport is much less than other London airports.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Don't think that's a pool. It's glass floor above bedroom one. Top floor of the building.This months wins February : Lashes0 -
Huh? There hasn't been a pool in that house since it was converted from a water tower.phoebe1989seb wrote: »Lovely interesting building, but I hate how they've designed the interior.........apart from the poolCome on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.0 -
I don't like the kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, but the rest of it looks ok to me, much better than this conversion, anyway:unhappy_shopper wrote: »How about this home situated on the same road?

My guess would be that developers bought the tower and (more importantly) the land and access around the tower, then sold the tower on as they weren't interested in it.Upsidedown_Bear wrote: »Just had a look at sold prices on Rightmove for this.

Looking on Google earth, it would appear that the only access to the flats behind the tower is through the gates and straight past it. Looks like you have no land at all, and are effectively a roundabout in the middle of a car park. Don't like it nearly as much now.
