We came to this Suffolk town with the hope of buying a house with a sea view but found that what few came onto the market were way out of our price. We also realised that a view of the North Sea in this part of the world isn't very exciting and certainly not worth the premium it attracted.
We did find, however, that an inland view could be interesting and might make a good alternative. The one above is on a footpath which we often walk, and we have stopped many times to wish that we could build a house on the spot where we stood.
One of the reasons we bought the house we did was that, while it had no view, a view could easily be opened up simply by....
....cutting down the conifers at the bottom of the garden, removing the so-called summer house and replacing part of the fence with two sections of latticework so that, even from the conservatory, we looked out across a mile or two of albeit flat countryside.
It was a huge improvement but one of the things we have on our wish-list for our next home is, once again, a good view.
