Life confined to our rented gardenless flats has given many of us a new obsession with property porn in lockdown.
We’ve grown bored of our walls, fed up of the lack of a home office (is working on the sofa wrecking everyone else’s back and shoulders?), and we’re dreaming of finally being able to live somewhere new… even though that’s not an option for the majority.
And so there’s been a bump in the time Brits are spending lusting over properties for sale on Zoopla.
But which homes are we obsessing over? As you likely expect, it’s not the reasonably priced but teeny-tiny studio flats catching our fancy, but mega-mansions and posh features.
In amongst those homes on the list of the most viewed properties, though, are places priced at £300,000 or less, with affordability still a major attraction.
Zoopla took a look at the homes for sale that have received the most views since the markets reopened on 13 May – take a look below.

Outside you’ve got another swimming pool, a barbecue area, chef’s kitchen, and tennis courts.
