You could always try leading the eye away from it by having a feature plant or structure etc away from it.  You could plant shrubs and trees in front of it to hide the pole and cabling

Was the pole there when you bought the property, or has it been erected in your time of ownership ?  Mrs Bouquet

The rent could still be going into the previous owners account... I would get it checked out.

I work in telecoms and we pay rent to people who's land we place our masts so I would assume you should be getting some too. Unless it was built for you to get power to your own place?
