Christmas is also a time when a little bit of escapism doesn’t go amiss, so we’re jumping on Rightmove’s most-viewed homes of the year list. They’re absolute pads located all over the country from the Cornish coast to super-fancy Highgate in North London.
They’re also huge, super-expensive and kitted out like an influencer’s dream. Put it this way: one house has its own lift, while another has its own golf course – yes, really. Even Christine Quinn would be impressed.
Still, there’s no harm in having a look, is there? Check out all five homes in this #propertygoals slideshow.
This 11th-century house in Luckington, a pretty village in the Cotswolds, featured in the famous BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. The main house has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and there are an additional five – yes, five! – dwellings located on the grounds.
Located in super-fancy Highgate, this five-bedroom mansion has views over Hampstead Heath – which means the popular swimming ponds are nearby. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, but don’t worry about running up and down all the time, because the house has its own glass lift.
Stunning views over Carlyon Bay are the main draw here. But the house itself is also a beauty that has five bedrooms and its own cinema room. On top of this, there’s a walled garden with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen. Perfect for entertaining, tbh.
Located in Hale Barns, a village around seven miles from Manchester city centre, this five-bedroom mansion has a hint of Selling Sunset to it. It even has its own “lower ground floor leisure suite” with a cinema room, playroom and large gym.
According to the listing, this grand mansion in Totteridge, North London is a “hidden gem for people who prefer a private life”. It has eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, its own ten-pin bowling lane and even a private six-hole golf course. So in a way, it’s not so much a house as a small village.
