I used to live in an upside down house wasn't sure at first but I loved it. Could put my heating on upstairs but my room downstairs stayed nice and cool. Had to move when I had children because needed more bedrooms and garden but sometimes I miss my wee upside down house

Is this referring to last night's Your Home Made Perfect? It was an awful design!
The house was OK downstairs but the upstairs was a jumble of too-small bedrooms.
His solution was to make upstairs the living area with one large open-plan space. Then there were better sized bedrooms downstairs - achieved by building over half the garden! The view from upstairs was not good.Sad
Not surprisingly, they went with the other design which had sensible bedrooms upstairs, open-plan downstairs and still had a garden.

What would put me off would be not being able to sleep with the windows open, which I do for about 6 months of the year...

no.
well, I mean obviously I could if it was th eonly thing available, but I don't like it.

I really really like having a kitchen door open onto a garden/patio or lounge french windows open on to same. I have stayed in a few houses where the living is all upstairs and it feels a bit claustrophobic

Would be strange, but still better off than many in the world.

Only if it was built into a hillside and had access to the garden from the lounge.
