but if it was, this house has one unique feature,
it is in the middle of a roundabout! in 1960, when David John and Eirian Howatson moved into
their bungalow in Denbighshire, Wales the area was just a regular neighbourhood and things were pretty normal for about two decades, until authorities came
knocking and let them know that their property was right where a new roundabout
was to be built, I am guessing most of us would have moved out, but the owners
liked their property so much they stayed,
“I’ve lived on the roundabout for over 40 years so it’s
pretty much all I know. We’d lived here for 20 years before that as well so
it’s been in the family for a long time,” Clwyd Howatson told North Wales Live. “We don’t have to worry about any neighbours, but life on the roundabout does get busy at times – especially when
the grandchildren stay over.” Clwyd says that most of the people who hear that
he and his family live in the middle of a roundabout usually have two questions
– how he gets to his house, which is easy to figure out considering the
driveway leading in from the road, and is it noisy? “I’d say it’s like living
by any road but it’s not that bad, we have double glazing so it’s not something
that bothers us and the road only gets really busy at peak times which is only
a few times a day,”
the roundabout house has been in the family for so long that
the current occupants have no plans of moving anytime soon, their home is
quirky and unique, and they like it that way, but certainly if it was up for
sale it has a unique feature to help it sell!
