There's some kind of entrance in the stone wall, a partly ground covered roof to the right of the same, fencing, waste disposal bin and perhaps some coloured clothing on the side.

I like the fitting of the stones on those houses!- looks like some sort of Shale that splits easily . Its all held together by a thick rendering of mortar on the inner face but it looks great with the long bonding stones at the corners !
If you could see the other face ( left hand side in the pic) you would see that bonding stones alternate with the ones on this face !look
It must be local outward sign of status of the occupants ! - note that all the other walls around the property are built of rough ragstone !!!

Now I have said in previous posts that I am not into owning property but if someone were to put that 50% - 50% underground house on the market I would seriously consider moving back to UK!
