If you don’t look carefully, you might not even see the home that Jonathan Ridley-Jones and Sharon Ridd built at all! That’s because the house is a converted underground water tank. The only thing that can be seen from the surface is the door leading into the hillside. “We’ve never wanted to live in an ordinary house”, Shanon says. “Living below ground means that our home is quiet and very cosy – none of the usual draughts. It doesn’t damage the local surroundings and has very low fuel bills. Some of our friends find it dark and feel shut in when they first visit, but they soon get used to it!”
