What Price For That View?

February 6, 2008 · No Comments

The three-foot-foreman’s bedroom view, from three foot!Now I have a first floor level, I can wander un-hindered, unless I happen to wander onto the stairs aperture, around the upstairs of our shaping up home. 

It gives a good idea of space upstairs, but now the gaps for the windows are in, you can see, what I hope to be looking at from the bedrooms for a long time, minus a pane of glass. 

The views are fantastic, virtually green all around, out of all the west elevation windows.  There’s a farm to take in, and what looks like a mobile phone transmitter in the distance.   

I think that looks ok, and may even add to the landscape, plus it makes me feel better - I’m not the only one blotting, or blocking, the local landscape. 

It’s an interesting point, that view will add huge value to me, but what price and well-being damage to those properties and tenants, respectively, around? 

Until the roof is actually on, and I can’t see how big the house will actually be, it’s difficult to work out how much of the neighbours’ views will become my house. 

It does seem very high, higher than the neighbours, not really sure what I expected.  

For now, I’m just chuffed I’ll have that wonderful view.  Long may it last.
