Let’s take a look at the homes that had the most people clicking, sharing and dreaming.

It’s maybe no surprise that this TV-famous townhouse takes the top spot this month. This elegant town house in the historic village of Moclín was lovingly restored for the BBC TV show Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job. After sitting unoccupied for 35 years, this double-fronted property has been transformed into a stylish three-bedroom home that beautifully blends traditional Spanish features with contemporary design.
The house also boasts a Mediterranean-style terrace – perfect for those hot Andalusian summers.
2. A charming Peak District home with 2 acres
This exceptional detached property in Bradwell is found on a 2.16-acre plot, and offers stunning views of the surrounding Peak District.
Inside, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms and versatile living spaces, including a recently upgraded kitchen fitted with an AGA. The property features charming bay windows and a formal sitting room with double doors that open to beautifully landscaped gardens.
3. A Scottish lodge with its own beach
For those dreaming of coastal tranquility, Doune Bay Lodge on the remote Knoydart Peninsula represents a rare opportunity. This superb property sits on its own beach with breathtaking views across the Sound of Sleat to the Isle of Skye, and the Cuillin mountain range.
Completely off-grid, power is supplied by solar panels and a micro hydro system. Inside, you’ll find five en-suite bedrooms, all with stunning views, and an open-plan living area that makes the most of the panoramic vistas. The property comes with around 2 acres of land including the shorefront, as well as a boathouse.
