See inside the five most-viewed homes of the month

Here at Rightmove, we love taking a peek inside some of the incredible homes on the market right now. And it seems like the rest of the nation does, too.

Staying cool as temperatures soar has been a big draw this summer, with many of our most-viewed homes set in waterfront locations. And home-hunters have fallen in love with these dream properties, with four of the five homes already under offer.

From a palatial townhouse once home to Gucci’s global headquarters, to an unspoilt retreat in the Scottish Highlands, here are the five homes we looked at the most this month.

Take a look.

1. A secluded haven in the Scottish Highlands

Found on the Applecross Estate, this showstopping four-bedroom home is set in a beautifully tranquil location and offers stunning sea views.

There are two water moorings, which are perfect for making the most of living right on the sea. And in the main house, built in 2006, large windows frame the incredible views, and flood the interior with natural light.

2. A coastal hideaway in Dorset

Nestled on the edge of the Sandbanks Peninsula, this incredible home is found in one of Great Britain’s most sought-after beauty spots.

Offering complete solitude, the home is set in 1.43 acres, and has a slipway into Poole Harbour. The new owners can have a dip in the sea, or swim in the private pool – all while enjoying panoramic views across the water.

3. Gucci’s former HQ in Mayfair

A palatial home in the heart of London, this former global headquarters of Italian fashion house Gucci is the last remaining private townhouse on the street.

There’s a state-of-the-art fitness suite in the basement, while the main living rooms feature lavish gold furnishings and swathes of glossy marble.

4. A blissful waterside home in The Lake District

Perched on the edge of Coniston Water, the stonework exterior of this four-bedroom home blends in with the local landscape, and inside the interior is sleek and glossy.

Jaw-dropping Lake District vistas can be enjoyed from every window in the house, while private local woodland and a jetty invite exploration of the great outdoors. This home also boasts the highest EPC rating – an A grade – which cuts down energy bills.

5. A castellated hideaway in Glasgow

A majestic sandstone home in a lush suburb of Glasgow, this four-bedroom Whitecraigs hideaway boasts an immaculate interior, and beautifully manicured grounds.

The home offers views over the neighbouring golf course and the rolling hills beyond. The metropolitan buzz of Glasgow City Centre is just six miles away.
