Explore private pubs, cricket stadiums and a celebrity home
The London maisonette Rob Brydon once called home
He’s a national treasure after entertaining on our screens for decades and now you can peek inside the maisonette Rob Brydon used to call home.
This two-bedroom pad in Mortlake, south west London is beautifully bright and airy, with a host of attractive features such as bay windows, period fireplaces and an open plan kitchen-diner.
The Gavin and Stacey star and host of Would I Lie To You? is said to have lived here until fairly recently, according to Chestertons.
The property, which is on the market for £550,000, is also just a stone’s throw away from East Sheen and the River Thames.
This property is listed for sale with Chestertons.

The Hackney home with its own private pub
This seemingly normal terraced home in London appears to fit in nicely with its Victorian-era neighbours, but in actual fact it’s hiding an amazing secret inside.
The four-bed home in Hackney comes complete with its very own private pub on the first floor, decked out with an incredible stained-glass ceiling and bar stools.
The remarkable home is on the market for £800,000 and pulls out all the stops – as well as pints – for any prospective buyers.
The extravagantly decorated property is tucked away on a peaceful tree-lined street, but inside it’s kitted out to provide the ultimate knees up – complete with a wooden bar, beer taps and plenty of seating for a few friendly games of cards.
Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside said: “This property is quite remarkable; the décor is spectacular, and I don’t think there are many homes on Rightmove that can boast the luxury of such an ultra-local pub. The property does require some modernisation, but it’s still a great opportunity.”

The apartment overlooking a cricket fortress
Anyone inspired by England’s Cricket World Cup win can soak up more limited-overs action down at Bristol – the home of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club – for free this summer.
This stunning fourth floor, two-bedroom apartment overlooks the impressive 8,000-seater Bristol County Ground, with the wicket and most of the outfield visible from the roof terrace.
The stylishly modern and open plan apartment will probably offer up plenty of catching practise for cricket lovers, as it’s ideally positioned for big hitting players who smash sixes down the ground.
Rightmove property expert Miles Shipside said: “Millions of us watched the truly epic World Cup final at Lord’s; perhaps the best 50-overs game in history. Eoin Morgan’s team have hopefully inspired a generation and this property is the perfect place for buyers to settle down if they want a regular fix of cricket action.”

Inside the Plymouth end-of-terrace with a hidden secret
Home hunters in Plymouth can make a splash if they get the keys to this unassuming end-of-terrace home – as it’s hiding a rather exotic feature.
The three-bedroom property, up for sale for £270,000, boasts its very own heated swimming pool in the garden as well as a hot tub in the summer house.
At first glance there is nothing suspiciously extravagant about the Devon home, but once you cross the threshold of the white front door, you’re met with a rather luxurious tropical paradise.
The outdoor swimming pool is self-cleaning and also benefits from a pull-over cover so that it can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Inside doesn’t quite match up to the outside in the quirkiness stakes, although there is a jukebox in the living room at the front of the house.
The property also has a large double garage and driveway that can accommodate up to four vehicles and planning permission for a side extension.
Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside said: “I love how this fun-loving home goes to show that you don’t have to be rich and famous to experiment with building your own private swimming pool. We’re set for some toasty days ahead this summer so I’m sure this place will be ideal for entertaining friends and family and creating many happy memories.”
This property is listed for sale with Connells.
