It’s also a time when a little bit of escapism doesn’t go amiss. With this in mind, Rightmove has revealed its 10 most viewed homes of 2021. They’re absolute pads located all over the country from rural Cumbria to swanky Knightsbridge.
They’re also huge, super-expensive and kitted out like an influencer’s dream. Put it this away: some of these houses have their own lifts.
Still, there’s no harm in having a look, is there? Check out all 10 homes in this #propertygoals slideshow.

Owned by pop star Robbie Williams and wife Ayda, this seven-bed mansion in Compton Bassett, Wiltshire is equipped with a 73ft-heated swimming pool, a grass football pitch and its own helicopter hangar. It also has two staff flats (!) and a separate cottage.Photo: Rightmove
Located in Ottery St Mary, east Devon, this 10-bed period property has been used as a wedding venue. Its crowning glory is The Grand Library, a stunning room that’s home to 22,000 books, making it “the biggest library west of Salisbury”.
This 19th century shooting lodge in Cumbria’s Skiddaw Forest is described as “the most remote house in England”. This boast isn’t too outlandish, actually, since it’s set in nearly 3.5 acres and only accessible by foot or 4×4. It’s currently being used as a youth hostel.Photo: Rightmove
Located in super-affluent Highgate, this five-bed mansion has views over Hampstead Heath – goals, tbh. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, but don’t worry about running up and down between them, because the house has its own glass lift.Photo: Rightmove
This Georgian-style country house in Ollerton, Cheshire, is set within 25 acres of garden and parklands – there’s even a lake. Inside you’ll find five reception rooms, five bedroom suites, a “fully fitted home office” and a lift. Photo: Rightmove
Situated within walking distance of Harrods and Harvey Nichols, this super-fancy apartment has its own front door. It’s a home built for entertaining: next to the main kitchen/dining area, there’s a separate chef’s kitchen for serious food preparation.Photo: Rightmove
This south coast home has stunning views of Poole Harbour, but the interior is also pretty special. In addition to four bedrooms, there’s an indoor swimming pool, gym and living room with drop-down cinema screen.Photo: Rightmove
