Young families have told of the particular challenges they face living in a block of flats slap bang in the middle of a busy roundabout.
A unique location might well be something buyers are looking for when hunting for a new property, but the unusual site in Penywaun, Wales, may well be a step too far for most.
The Waunllwyd flats are situated at the centre of the junction of a main road and house up to nine families. One mum told how life in the flats can be challenging, to say the least.

While some most roundabouts boast a few shrubs or advertising signs at most, the three-storey block has four different paths at street level - once you've picked your way through the encircling traffic, obviously.
One resident, named Chelsea, said living in the flats was "hard work" at times, especially when having to work around the onslaught of traffic when taking her young daughter to school.
"It's a bit strange. I've lived here for two years, and you just get used to it," the resident told WalesOnline. Only two of the nine flats have direct access, while the others can only be reached from inside a lobby.
And with no parking on the kerb, residents also have to leave their cars on the other side of the surrounding road. But being a roundabout, the moat-like road has no pedestrian crossings meaning getting there is often a game of waiting and running.
Chelsea, who did not give her full name, added: "The cars come down the hill at a pace, she said, "and the school buses too, because there's a comprehensive nearby, so there's about 10 school buses."
The mum said that, due to the odd location right in the middle of a busy junction and with no proper garden, she never let her daughter play outside and "couldn't wait" to eventually move.
