The last few months have emphasised the value and restorative benefits of looking beyond the four walls of our homes to what lies beyond.
A wonderful view can certainly add value to a property and, according to many of our buyers, it is the most desired attribute of a new home. After all, you can usually alter how a house looks inside – by changing colour schemes, adding windows, reconfiguring the layout or creating an extension – but it is unlikely that a bad view can ever be improved.
Of course, a fantastic vista can be compromised by external developments. So if you are looking for a house to buy and have fallen in love with one because of its lovely view, it would prudent to research local plans before you go any further.
Here are just some of the homes we are selling where great views are among their key selling points.
