6 perfectly-pink homes for sale

Valentine’s Day marks the mid-point of February, which also happens to be the month when homes sell most quickly.

And while all of the spring months are typically busy for the property market, it takes an average of 51 days to find a buyer in February. It’s also the month when homes listed for sale are most likely to find a buyer — and make it through to completion.

So whether you’ve just started thinking about making your  move, or you’ve already started searching for ‘the one’, we wanted to share just some of the many homes that are listed for sale. And why not start with a posy-pink bunch of Valentine’s Day-themed homes. Take a look.

A candy-pink house in Suffolk

Suffolk is known for its candy-pink coloured homes, and this 3-bedroom house is a sweet example, sitting just off the high street in the historic village of Lavenham. Inside, there’s farmhouse-style kitchen and breakfast room, along with a mix of exposed timber beams and an inglenook fireplace. Apple, pear and cherry trees are dotted around the garden, and there’s a pottery annexe with a kiln that can be used as a workshop.

A posy-pink farmhouse in Bury St. Edmunds

As far as romantic settings go, a bridge overlooking your own garden moat is up there. This is one of the brightest posy-pink homes of the bunch, and there’s so much to love. The cosy farmhouse kitchen overlooks the home’s 3 acres of green paddocks, mature fruit trees and rose gardens. There’s no shortage of space, with five bedrooms, a separate one-bedroom annexe, and a range of outbuildings.

A pink countryside retreat in Great Henny

This cosy, pastel-hued cottage is set in rolling green countryside.  This is the perfect home to snuggle up in front of the crackling log-burning fire, while taking in the views of the extensive gardens and valleys beyond. Exposed timber beams add to the charm, and if you’re looking for an extra-special garden office with a mezzanine floor… you’ve found it.

A pink former pub in Suffolk

This powder-pink beauty is thought to have been built 700 years ago. More recently, it used to be a pub, but now this spacious converted home hasn’t lost its potential for big group gatherings, with 5 bedrooms and 4 separate guest cottages dotted around the large gardens and grounds.

A pale-pink Victorian house in Ipswich

This 3-bedroom home has a delicate-pink facade and Victorian heritage, and is available for the first time in 50 years. There’s also a south-facing rear garden and the potential to extend.

A strawberry timber-framed house in Cambridgeshire

This Cambridgeshire home is serving up chocolate-box looks with a strawberry-twist. Chunky cottage-style oak beams and exposed brickwork blend with revamped kitchen and bathrooms. And to help keep the energy bills down, a heat pump has already been installed, and energy-efficient double-glazed windows overlook the suntrap gardens.
