House in the Clouds

The House in the Clouds was originally a water tower! The house was built around a water tank in 1923 to make it look less ugly. It served the Suffolk neighborhood until 1977, and the tank was removed in 1979. It’s now a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house that you can rent for a minimum two night stay. Link

    Been there too. It's more unusual if you first see it from a distance behind the trees as it just looks like a house on a hill or something. There's a lovely beach there too.

    Hmmm... I'm not sure if I would like being inside and looking out. It would be like being in an apartment... that was built like a house. Too high!

    Sure looks cool from the outside, though.

    @L: Being up high is much more fun in the country, in which nobody else is up high.

    Goodness! If I didn't know better I'd say it was the Weasley home. I wonder if this is what drove Rowling's inspiration for it. Hmmmm.
