Millions of users flock to Rightmove each month in search for their next home, or just to have a nosey at what’s new on the market. The UK’s biggest property site has a huge choice of homes up for grabs, from bargain houses to dream abodes that the majority of us could never afford.
Each month, Rightmove spotlights the homes that have attracted the most views from its users – and more often that not its unique homes that capture the most attention. From a historic Scottish castle to a lakeside farmhouse, the most-viewed homes on the site in April highlight buyers’ appetite for properties offering something a little different.
This month’s top-viewed properties feature multiple storeys, annexes and acreage, and whilst they each have between four and eight bedrooms, all of them are listed at £1,000,000 or below.
“From characterful countryside retreats to homes that have clearly been designed with entertaining in mind, this month’s roundup of the most viewed properties on Rightmove offer more than just square footage,” says a spokesperson for Rightmove. “Right now, buyers are clearly drawn to flexible layouts and standout lifestyle features as well as space, be it land to grow into or additional outbuildings.”
Topping the list of five standout properties is a stunning five-bed family home in Rochdale, which has been named Rightmove’s most-viewed property in April. The detached dwelling sits in the sought-after Bamford area and was listed for sale on April 10 with a £950,000 price tag.
Inside it boasts 2,659 square foot of living space with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and plenty of room for entertaining family and friends. When entering the home on the ground floor you are greeted by two large living rooms, a modern kitchen dining area, a utility room, a W.C and a cloakroom, all which lead to a versatile garden lounge that connects to the outdoors.
Up on the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which have their own en-suites, as well as a family bathroom. Upstairs on the second floor is the master bedroom which comes complete with a luxury en-suite and a walk-in wardrobe offering a private retreat.
One of the standout features of the home is the jacuzzi and bar area, which is perfect for unwinding after a long day or a great space to hosting gatherings and celebrations. The property also features a large detached building at the rear with its own mezzanine. This offers a separate space to work from home, or can also serve as an annex providing guests with some privacy.
The home also has an abundance of outdoor space with a spacious and private low maintenance garden which has recently been upgraded, featuring a sunken decking area and fire pit that make for a great space to enjoy the summer months. There is also plenty of off-road parking on the electric gated driveway.
Keenans Estate Agents, which is marketing the property, says: “Set on Norden Road in the ever-popular location of Bamford, this exquisite detached house, built in 1935, offers a remarkable blend of comfort and sophistication across an impressive 2,659 square feet. With five spacious bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms, this property is designed to accommodate both family living and entertaining with ease.
“Presented to the highest standard with immaculate interiors, this home is not merely a residence; it is a lifestyle choice. With its prime location and impressive features, this property is a rare find in the Rochdale area. Do not miss the opportunity to make this exquisite house your new home.”
