What Do We Care About Fences?

There is a net fence across the lawn between the two houses, but the flowers don't pay much respect to it.

The House on the Hill

In the summer, you don't see much of this house from the street down below. In fact you can't get close to it from any point of view. It is surrounded by high stone walls, iron fences and closed gates, and gives a very strong impression of "keep away!" Which suggests to me it might still be a private home rather than turned into offices for some company or other.
