I was hoping the OP could answer, since it was them that said 'another one' . Probably not a house but a flat, as there seems to be a walk through where it connects to the adjacent building.jimbo6977 said:

There have been a few posts recently featuring new-build houses with very small windows. It's been theorised that it's a cost-cutting measure, and/or because energy efficency ratings calculate window area to account for heat loss, so smaller windows will give a "better" rating.tooldle said:

I don't wonder if increasing density of building on new estates is causing builders to run into planning issues regarding windows overlooking other properties and gardens, too. The simplest way round such a thing would be to eliminate windows from certain faces.SadieO said:

Possibly but, without identifying the property, we have no idea how copious the windows are on the other elevations in each instance. One was identified and it had plenty.SadieO said:
