The UK’s most-viewed houses for sale have been revealed, and they include some truly remarkable homes.

Zoopla has shared the 10 properties which garnered most clicks online during April, ranging from a £105,000 bungalow to a £25 million private island.

Vaulted caves, sea views and 90ft vinery

One of the most extraordinary homes on the list is a beautiful Grade II-listed four-bedroom house perched on the hillside above Hastings Old Town, in Sussex, with stunning views over the English Channel.

West Hill Villa, which was built in the 19th century, is set over five floors and boasts beautiful period features.

The open-plan sitting room/kitchen and dining area opens up into a sandstone archway and into spectacular vaulted caves.

But the most exceptional feature is the 90ft glasshouse vinery housing exotic plants, grapevines, banana trees and a fish pool.

It’s listed for sale with Just Property and has an asking price of £1.4 million.

Private island with fascinating naval history

Also among Zoopla’s most-viewed properties in April 2025 was Osea Island, in Maldon, Essex, which is just 40 miles from London and has direct access to the capital by air.

Priced at £25 million, the 380-acre private island on the river Blackwater is home to 38 existing residential properties, multiple event premises and a pub, with the potential for further development.

An ancient Roman causeway provides access for vehicles at low tide, and there is a pier with access for boats, as well as a light aircraft landing strip on the island, which was used as a secret naval base during the Second World War.

18th-century croft house with breathtaking mountain views

Another remarkable property racking up the views during April was this 18th-century croft house with breathtaking views of the Cairngorm mountain range, set in grounds extending to 1.8 acres, with a barbecue area, hot tub and sauna.

Croftmaquien, which is tucked away in a secluded spot just five minutes from the village of Nethy Bridge, in the Scottish Highlands, is listed for sale with Masson Cairns for offers over £775,000.
