Slope or flat?

emon (Rhiannon S) wrote in message ... Not to be flippant (for a change I know), but what's the view like? If the higher up one has a good view then take it, plus there is less chance of flooding up slope. I guess there won't be much view from the ground, because of the houses that will be built around. The view might be OK from the second floor though, because the house on the slope will get 10-15 feet height advantage. For me the potential view is also the main reason why I'm even considering the slope. Plus there is a hope that we could create more interesting garden on the slope. I'd definitely go for the one with the slope and if the view is good, consider having an 'upside down' living arrangement in the house. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |

Slope or flat?
"Margus" wrote in message om... Hello, I have to choose between two properties, one on a slope and a flat one just down the slope. The slope is quite gentle, about 1 to 10 or about 6 degrees if my math is correct. The size of the properties is about 30 000 sq ft. I have never lived on a slope, therefore don't know what is good or bad in it. I guess there is more trouble with the slopy one, but is it worth it? Which property would you choose other things (size, cost etc) being equal? Ours was an ungardened slope of about 1 in 5 when we moved in. We took the bull by the horns, and with the help of the most wonderful neighbour in the world we converted it into 3 horizontal terraces separated by little stone walls and suitable stone steps. It is now a joy to garden in it. Franz |

Slope or flat?
In the northern hemisphere the few extra degrees sloping to the south is
worth a lot in winter. Where we are in Devon the sun is about 16.5 degrees above the horizon on 21st December, in Newcastle it would be about 10 degrees an so on. 6 degrees slope makes quite a differnce to the incident energy on a South facing slope-60% ish per sq.m in Newcastle.
