House hunters across the country have been looking for a range of different features when it comes to finding the perfect property this month - from a castle in Scotland to a seaside escape. But right at the top of the list of most viewed homes in March is a Nottinghamshire property.
As the latest data from property website Rightmove lands, at the top of the most viewed list for the month is an elegant farmhouse in Nottinghamshire. It comes ahead of an oast-style house in Whitstable, on the north coast of Kent, and beats a cottage and boat house by the beach.
It even proved more popular with house hunters than a castle. Pictures of the former farmhouse clearly show that it is something special. Plus, the Victorian property sits in acre.
