Some of the most viewed homes on Rightmove so far this year include a renovated Welsh home featuring a stiletto-shaped bathtub and a historic church in West Yorkshire
Rightmove has revealed five of its most viewed homes of 2025 – and one of them has a very unusual feature.

Historic house in Conwy, north Wales
This intriguing Grade II listed residence is just a short walk from the impressive castle and historic quayside. Described by estate agents Dafydd Hardy, Llandudno, as a most fascinating and intriguing Grade II* Listed residence, it appears that visitors to Rightmove in the first six months of 2025 agreed.
The original single-storey house was dendrochronologically dated to the winter of 1441-42, and since then it has retained its overall 16th century form with 18th century additions and alteration, Wales Online reports.
The listing states that the house as seen today is predominantly dated 1589 and built by John Birchdall, vicar of Conwy 1569-1607 and his initials, and those of his wife, Elizabeth, are on a stone tablet within the property.
The property was gutted and renovated between 2008 and 2015 and while unique features such as the bathtub were included, the owners made sure to revive its historic features too. The house also has a walled garden – and a section of the wall was part of the original town boundaries.
Restored church in Bradford, West Yorkshire
Rightmove revealed that another of its most-viewed properties is a restored church in the village of Denholme, Bradford. Built in 1846, this Grade II listed building has open plan living, arched windows, a spiral staircase, and the original bell tower.
The current owners have turned a large open on the ground floor into a yoga studio with views of the courtyard garden. There is also a private graveyard, which the public can get access to at the owner’s discretion.
Country estate in Yorkshire
There is also a magnificent country estate, nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. At its heart lies a historic 14th-century Grade I listed castle and an East Wing that has successfully operated as a wedding venue.
The property features walled gardens, 188 acres of Estate Woodland and 26 acres of productive grassland. Buyers can purchase the property as a whole or as separate lots.
Mansion in Caldy, The Wirral
Situated on a secluded plot in the heart of Caldy on the Wirral Peninsula is a luxurious modern mega-mansion which spans over 12,000 square feet and offers five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a leisure complex.
