The House In The Clouds, Thorpeness, Suffolk, England Editorial Photo

The House in the Clouds is a water tower at Thorpeness, Suffolk, UK. It was built in 1923 to receive water pumped from Thorpeness Windmill and was designed to improve the looks of the water tower, disguising its tank with the appearance of a weatherboarded building more in keeping with Thorpenesss mock-Tudor and Jacobean style, except seeming to float above the trees. In 1979 the main water tank was removed to fully convert the building into a house. The building currently has five bedrooms and three bathrooms; it contains a total of 68 steps from top to bottom and is around 70ft high. It has been a Grade II Listed Building since 1995.
