From front of the house:
The sun rises from there, which creates some pretty nice views.
Housey, that's amazing, I'd love to live somewhere like that. We're sort of sub-urban here though and the wife wouldn't want to be somewhere fully rural and too remote from the shops and her mum!

Thanks. We share the location with a few other houses, but the development was built in one of the very finest locations available in Staffordshire, hence why we bought it. It's nice to have to drive 1/2 a mile off a country lane to get to us and even nicer that if you don't know how to find us, you never will, which is useful when crims attach a tracker to your RS4...but that's a whole other story
What's your broadband like?
And Captain Planet has now got himself added to a watchlist.
Still on ADSL Max and get a consistent 6.3 which is fair enough. Fibre to cabinet due shortly but I can stream in real time on all services in HD today and fibre will happily support 4k services I suspect. All in all not too bad but I won't be getting fibre to house!

Not very interesting. I can see my office which is quite depressing 
Looks better at night when it is all lit up.
The view from my desk at work is far more enjoyable:

When you said 1/2 mile drive I feared the worst. 6.3 is better than I had before fibre.
1st place in this thread I recognise. Smugglers Inn is quite nice.
I'm 1.1kms from my exchange which has around 360 residencies attached to it and 68 businesses (read farms, shops and a couple of pubs I suspect)
My previous house had a very similar view, and the back of the house was a view of the backs of the houses from the neighbouring street, separated by modestly sized gardens.You win mate.
Is that the Tampa bay stadium in the far background? Only 2 months and il be in St Petes
Well at least you have a house and garden
I used to have fields of cows to look at.
Now its this awesome view... needless to say curtains always drawn.
Honestly, I actually preferred looking out over the tightly packed gardens and peoples' houses than I do over my current lengthy garden and countryside. In fact, I probably preferred living in the city (well, probably suburbs really) than out in the sticks as I do now. Especially in the winter, with the long nights and no street lights and few pavements; it's pretty claustrophobic, frankly.
There are some disadvantages to country living when it snows and you don't have a 4WD car. Luckily in this instance I did, but as you will see 2 of my neighbours didn't and their cars remained parked on our driveway for 3 days 
5 Series anyone?
Mercedes CLS anyone?
I chose Quattro, it was bloody cold mind and that 240 miles of range was a full tank!!
