History Report

Originally intended to provide an adequate storage capacity for a basic water supply for Thorpeness village. Constructed by Braithwaite Engineering Company of London in 1923, it presented Thorpeness Estates with the difficult task of deciding what could be done with such a hideous structure on the skyline.

Critical: Quality, Responsiveness, Value
This place is filthy, a health hazard, the sanitary ware is disgusting and it smells. It is dark, dingy and overpriced. Don’t stay here! You have been warned.

Unfortunately, because of the huge trees, which have been planted for the privacy of the owner I guess, you can't really get a good view of this place. One of the best pictures I got was from way back in the village.

If your in Suffolk for a visit then House in the Clouds is a must, right next to it is a pin mill another fantastic attraction, just a short walk down the road is the famous boating lake, where you can feed the swans and rent a boat for £18 per hour, if you fancy a bit to eat there are lots of options to choose from, and to top it all off the beach is there for amazing walks and even a dip in the sea.

Nice to look at, but these are privately owned so there is no option for looking around except from the road. House in the clouds was simply a disguise for a water storage tower tank. When area was connected to mains water the tank was removed and building converted to holiday rental accommodation.

An amazing house built around an old water tower.
As it is rented out we couldn't go inside but it looked like a real curiosity from outside the garden gate.

Although we didn't stay here it is lovely looking building a photographer delight, it is well hidden up a small track.
