If there’s one thing Britain can agree on, it’s this: we love looking at other people’s houses.
Throughout 2025, millions of clicks were spent exploring some truly remarkable homes. Some were grand, some were quirky, and some were so impressive they made us briefly question our life choices.
Here are the ten homes that captured the nation’s imagination this year.
1. A medieval townhouse with a stiletto-shaped bathtub, Wales

Dating back to 1441 and tucked inside Conwy’s medieval town walls, this Grade II* listed home proves that history and bold design can coexist. The headline-grabbing high-heeled bathtub certainly helped stop the scroll.
2. A palatial mansion in St. John’s Wood, London

Spanning over 21,000 sq ft across five floors, this home is luxury on a heroic scale. Think concealed car lift, wine cellar and games room — all in one of London’s most exclusive postcodes.
3. A Georgian estate in Jesmond, Newcastle

Classic Georgian elegance, generous grounds and a prime city location made this property a dream combination. It offered the feel of a country estate without giving up city life.
4. A Victorian townhouse with marble staircases, Glasgow

Located in the prestigious Park District, this Victorian gem showcased marble staircases, grand columns and beautifully preserved period details that had history lovers hooked.
5. A Grade I listed mansion with 67 acres of parkland, Rutland

Part of the magnificent Burley on the Hill House, this property delivers full-blown stately home vibes. Highlights include over 12,000 sq ft of space and an awe-inspiring Tapestry Hall.
6. A remote croft house with grazing rights, Scottish Highlands

This former croft house on Scotland’s northwest coast offered far-reaching sea views, peace, and even space for 20 sheep, a true escape from it all.
7. A modern manor house with 20 acres, Newton Mearns

Built in 2011, this contemporary manor extends to around 10,500 sq ft and sits behind electric gates at the end of a long driveway—modern luxury with plenty of breathing space.
8. A neoclassical sandstone mansion, County Durham

Designed in 1821, Burn Hall is an eleven-bedroom Grade II* listed home once praised by Queen Victoria herself. Judging by the views, today’s house-hunters clearly agreed.
9. An 800-year-old manor house, West Yorkshire

Believed to be the oldest property in Horsforth, this Grade II listed home is rich in character, featuring mullioned windows, Jacobean panelling and a striking Tudor fireplace.
10. A Victorian villa on one of Edinburgh’s most desirable streets

An immaculate 6,000 sq ft Victorian home with elegant proportions and beautifully landscaped gardens, a timeless classic that proved hugely popular.
