Our five favourite luxury homes for sale with a rooftop terrace
With city, water or park views, rooftop terraces also provide a private space for entertaining and relaxing, especially as the weather warms up.
Beyond the personal benefits, green or shaded rooftop terraces can also improve a home’s energy efficiency and increase its value.
