How about these?
Okay, these incredible polystyrene domes from the aptly named International Dome Houses company of Japan don't quite meet the ideal requirements for housing density that would be the most perfect "green" solution (ground level living is, I'm afraid, inherently un-environmentally friendly in a small, crowded place like Southern England), but they check the box on just about every other score.
They cost around £15-20,000 in Japan, then you'd have to pay import duty, but that's not bad. A variety of pieces mean you can come up with variations on the dome theme too. And how damn cool are they to look at?

I harbour dreams of quitting the rat race, buying some land on a quiet Japanese hillside and building one of these: http://www.simondale.net/house/
I'd write poetry, drink wine under the stars, and walk through the hills. Side trips to Mordor would, of course, be optional.
My gosh Chris, that is beautiful. You wouldn't need much of a view either - you could just plonk your chair facing the house and never tire of looking at it.
