Rightmove\u2019s property expert Miles Shipside said of 2019\u2019s top five viewed properties:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s great to see such a brilliantly diverse variety of homes available on Rightmove and it\u2019s no surprise to see these five properties at the top of our list. Each Christmas I\u2019m always curious to see which homes have sparked the most interest across Great Britain throughout the year and suffice to say the properties with the biggest personalities or quirkiest features are usually the most popular.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
