Whether you intend to buy a property or not, many of us like scrolling through properties for sale – usually in our fantasy neighbourhood. In fact, looking through property porn has become somewhat of a fad in recent years. It’s become the ideal opposite to ‘doomscrolling’ in many respects. And particular houses have piqued our interest the most in recent weeks. The most-viewed homes on Rightmove last month range from a majestic Bridgerton-style house to a doer-upper with a twist. Here are the top five…
Kinsteary House, Auldearn, Nairn, £1.5 million
The first is a magnificent 18th-century property in a peaceful woods for £1.5 million. Kinsteary House, located amid 19 acres of Scottish countryside, dates back to the 1700s. The grounds are packed with formal topiary-filled gardens, grass, and forest and are accessible through a lengthy driveway.
Blantyre Road, Bothwell, Glasgow, £1.75 million
Similarly, property hunters have been drawn to this light-filled home in Glasgow. The interior of the £1.75 million property is bright and polished, with plenty of marble and a sweeping staircase.
Countisbury, Lynton, Devon, £7 million
Next on the list is an 11-bed country home for sale at £7 million in Devon – which is giving serious Cluedo vibes with a library, study, wine cellar, armoury, and even a gun room.
Itchingfield, Horsham, £4.5 million
People have also been ready to click on a Bridgerton-style property in West Sussex. This £4.5 million Art Deco property located on the edge of the South Downs is loaded with many restored original elements.
Imaginative Retreat Project at Brough Lodge, Fetlar, Shetland, £30,000
Last but not least is a Scottish castle in need of a little TLC but with enormous promise. This Grade A listed villa is nestled on 40 acres of lovely shoreline in the harsh Shetland terrain.
