Now that we’re halfway through 2025, we thought we’d take a look at the properties that have had home-hunters’ clicking the most.

People spent over 16.4 billion minutes exploring incredible properties on Rightmove last year, and this year’s most-viewed homes of the year so far are real showstoppers.

“From a stiletto-shaped bathtub abode in Conwy to a restored historic church in Bradford, this year’s most viewed homes so far on Rightmove highlight the unique charm and diversity of the UK housing market,” says Colleen Babcock, our property expert.

Let’s explore the five homes…

1. A medieval townhouse with a stiletto-shaped bathtub in Conwy

This fascinating Grade II listed residence within Conwy’s medieval town walls comes complete with an iconic feature – its glamorous stiletto-shaped bathtub. Dating back to the winter of 1441-42 and one of only two known medieval buildings within the town walls, this extraordinary home was completely transformed between 2008 and 2015.

The renovation blends contemporary features while preserving its historical heritage. Beyond the famous bathroom, the property boasts four bedrooms, a walled garden with views over Conwy quay and estuary, and even includes a section of the original town wall.

2. A restored 19th-century church with a bell tower in Bradford

This breathtaking conversion of St. Paul’s church, built in 1846, has been painstakingly restored while maintaining its sacred grandeur, including the original bell tower. The Grade II listed building features an impressive open-plan layout where the original ‘Arcade’ flows into a stunning kitchen and dining area with full-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows.

What makes this truly special is the original chancel, which has been transformed into a cosy lounge with log burner, plus a spiral staircase leading to an amazing mezzanine office space with arched windows overlooking Yorkshire countryside.

3. A 700-year family castle estate with deer park in the Yorkshire Dales

Ripley Castle represents the ultimate in historic splendour – a 14th-century Grade I-listed castle owned by the same family for over 700 years. This magnificent country estate forms the centrepiece of 1,800 acres which include sporting rights, a deer park and lakes with views that amaze from virtually every room.

The castle depicts three architectural styles built over 500 years, featuring the old tower with enormous stone buttresses, plus remarkable rooms including the Knight’s Chamber with an original oak ceiling – one of only three wagon roof ceilings to survive. The estate includes a successful wedding venue business and even a village with hotel, pub and shops.

4. A 12,000 square foot mega-mansion with leisure complex in Caldy

This striking contemporary home immediately captivates with its distinctive combination of stone, render and glass across over 12,000 square feet of luxurious living space. A sumptuous residence of vast proportions, major features include five bedrooms, five bathrooms and an exceptional leisure complex that rivals the finest hotels.

The entertainment facilities are nothing short of spectacular – a spacious gym, swimming pool with bar area, sauna, steam room, plus an impressive games room and cinema on the lower ground floor. Set on a secluded plot with electric gates and sweeping driveway, this modern masterpiece proves that contemporary luxury can be just as captivating as historic charm.

5. An Art Deco masterpiece in St. John’s Wood, London

This striking stucco-fronted mansion represents the pinnacle of luxury living as it unfolds across five floors and measures an incredible 21,659 square feet in St. John’s Wood.
