what would your house ideally be overlooking?

[BrickPoet]

the sea

A lake

Yess!!! This x

The mountains of Eryri.

Snow capped mountains in the distance with meadows and fields of sheep in the foreground, maybe a drystone wall or two. But I'll make do with the steam railway which we have now.

Wild flower meadows and a dense evergreen forest would do me as a view ! Plus horses in the meadows

A field of miniature horses, ideally my own if I am really dreaming!

My house overlooks a lake and hills. It's lovely.

Masses of green fields and hills.

Nothing , it would be in the middle of a forest

The sea, because nobody can build on that. If you’re overlooking fields I guarantee eventually they’ll build a housing estate and take your view away.

My dad's house overlooks the hills of Co Durham and Northumberland. You can see for miles and miles. It's beautiful. They also get deer coming into the garden.

I wasn't really bothered about a view until they bought this house. I'd love to buy it from them one day.

Our own house overlooks our beautiful garden. Does that count as a view?

The valley below, and not many lights at night.

Sea would come second.

Clean water. Lake, river, sea I don't care, but clean enough to swim in!

Not a canal.

A forest with lots of bluebells, with a stream a running through it, a meadow on the other side, and a beach at the bottom end.

Basically where my house backed on to as a child.

I'd like to overlook fields, but I'd need to own those too, so they couldn't build on them!

That sounds amazing!

@MooseBeTimeForSnow where is this and do you live here??

@Thewildthingsarewithme
It’s Canmore, Alberta and yes, I do. This is the view from my kitchen window of Grotto Mountain. I can also see the Three Sisters from my bedroom window.

Not the sea anyway, I live close to the sea and have a small sea view. 90% of the time it's pretty grey and the seafront near me is full of people which I'd hate.

My ideal would be a large beautiful garden, with a big pond, surrounded by tall trees which give absolute privacy.

@MooseBeTimeForSnow its beautiful! What’s it like to live there? We’ve lived in so many different places, I love where we are now but I’m twitching again and actually floated Canada to my husband last week, he’s sick of my indecision 😂

The Dordogne. And a field of sunflowers.

Wow so many people saying bodies of water! Lovely, but for me I love people watching 😄 I really enjoy our holiday home which is on a high street up above a shop so great vantage point for people watching 😄 surprise myself by that. Our current house overlooks a wood which is nice, not a whole lot to see but amazing amazing amazing bird song in the morning, it’s a cacophony.

Sea, mountains, fields.... actually anything other than buildings or people!

A square of Georgian houses with a church in the middle. I did actually have that view once, but over 20 years ago now.

The sea, a loch but I also like a cityscape.
