The House in the Clouds, near Thorpeness

The House in the Clouds was built in 1923 as the Thorpeness water tower, disguised as a house to avoid it being an eyesore. Originally it was a five storey house underneath the water tank, which itself was hidden by enclosing it in a house-like structure complete with pitched roof. Later, when Thorpeness was linked to a mains water supply, the tank inside was dismantled and the space turned into additional living accommodation making the house you see today.

An unusual feature about this mere is that punts, seen in the foreground, are hired out as well as rowing boats.

The path running left to right follows the course of a dismantled railway. The remains of a level crossing gate are still embedded in the hedge straight ahead.
