UK's most viewed homes: from a clifftop mansion to a 30k castle

From a clifftop home in Devon, a castle in the Shetlands, to an 18th-century house set within 19 acres of Scottish countryside, these are the most viewed homes by Brits on the property site Rightmove in May (RMV.L).

Starting with number 5, we have an 18th-century house set within 19 acres of Scottish countryside, Kinsteary House dates all the way back to the 1700s. The Kinsteary House boats 5 reception rooms, 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If that's not enough, it also has a gardeners cottage and the east wing – yes, there is more than one – houses a traditional kitchen with wooden herringbone flooring.

All of this can be yours for £1.5m.

This 6 bedroom, 4 reception rooms, modern mansion in Glasgow stands at 9,853 sq ft. Enough space to fit a home gym and an entire swimming pool complex, complete with steam room, sauna and hot tub.

Elmwood House is a modern property sitting behind a secure stone wall with electric security gates, situated in the village of Bothwell.

The advert mentions that "from the approach in, the high levels of security indicate the stature of the property beyond." We'll let the readers decipher what that means.

Spread across three floors, the second floor accommodates a guest room with en suite facilities and a principal suite with en suite bathroom including a jacuzzi bath and an adjoining dressing room with wraparound storage. All for £1.75m.

At number 3, this clifftop home in Devon makes the previous properties look more affordable. At £7m, this Tudoresque coastal estate is accessed via a 2.5 mile private driveway that took almost a year to build.

With views across the Bristol Channel and direct access to the beach, Glenthorne is a 77 acre coastal estate.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom with adjoining bathroom is situated above the library enjoying the same outstanding views down the coastline. There are six further bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a study with a gallery and large studio. On the second floor there are four further bedrooms (of which three are currently being used as storage) and a bathroom. There is also a gun room, pantry, boot room and utility room.

And that's just the main house. There is still Home Farm, which comprises a large kitchen, dining room, sitting room, office, a principal bedroom with adjoining bathroom, two further bedrooms and bathroom, two further reception rooms and a courtyard, stabling and storage to the rear.

Adjoining the main building is a stone barn with vaulted ceiling currently used as a gym and would equally be suited as a formal drawing room or party barn.

Approached via a long tree-lined driveway, this Art Deco house in West Sussex is set within around 28.86 acres of gardens, parkland and paddocks.

A passenger lift provides access from the first floor to the leisure suite and gymnasium, that occupies the entire top floor. Outside, there is a chauffeur's lodge with garaging, stabling, tennis court and swimming pool. The gardens surround the house on three sides and include a children's adventure playground.

Overall, it has 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, shower room and additional wcs; Drawing room, dining room, sitting room and study / home office; 2 cloakrooms, stores, wine cellar; Second floor Leisure suite / gym with plunge pool, flotation tank, sauna and steam room, plus attic space; Stables, tack room, workshop and field shelter. It also has a £4.5m price tag.

What if you could buy a castle for £30k? The Brough Lodge is an historic Grade 'A' Listed property set in around 40 acres in a coastal position on the island of Fetlar, which lies off the east coast of Mainland Shetland.

Rightmove called this Scottish castle the ultimate restoration project, a prospect that has unsurprisingly attracted lots of interest from curious home-hunters.

The idea is for the new owner to transform this unique property into a world-class 24 bedroom retreat, with proceeds from the sale going towards the Trust's work in supporting hand-knitting tuition for Shetland school children.

However, it is in need of some work. The house was last occupied in the 1970s, and remained largely untouched until Brough Lodge Trust was formed in 1997 with the aim of restoring the property. Work was undertaken to conserve the building. In particular, extensive repairs were carried out between 2011 and 2014, which included replacing much of the roof structure and making the building wind and watertight. The current owners warn that it still needs major internal restoration.

Access to the island is via a 25 minute ro-ro ferry service which runs several times a day. There is also an airstrip on Fetlar suitable for helicopter landings.
