House-hunters are too busy dreaming

We've given up finding sensibly-priced property within our budget. Figures from Zoopla reveal that in January, instead of hitting the internet to hunt down the ideal property in our price bracket, we gave up entirely, and devoted the month to dreaming about properties we'll never be able to own - and we found some incredible dream properties.

10. This 6-bedroom Guernsey mansion, in 11 acres, boasts its own heated outdoor pool, and pool house - featuring a cinema and party room. It's a snip at just £12 million.

9. Brace yourself, because this swanky new property in Poole is on the market for £7.5 million. It's a stunning home, complete with indoor pool, five luxury bedrooms, and a private mooring, but £7.5 million?

8. This impressive barn conversion offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms - along with impressive reception areas. The bi-fold doors also open onto a party area complete with a hot tub and entertainment system. It's yours for £795,000.

7. Five bedrooms in Sevenoaks in Kent will set you back £2.275 million, and for that money, this architect-designed home will give you all the shiny whiteness and dark wood you could possibly need.

6. This new-build mansion on the outskirts of London is on the market for an eye-watering £16.8 million. The builders of this 8-bedroom house on Totteridge Common must have had lottery winners in mind during the design phase, because this insanely expensive eight-bedroom home comes with an indoor swimming pool and gym, cinema, wine cellar, garages for six cars and staff accommodation.

5. This 6-bedroom detached house in Kingston-upon-Thames has drawn 47,000 views in a month, despite the fact it's hardy exactly brimming with period charm. What you do get for your £8.95 million is a sauna, cinema room and a bespoke wine cellar.

4. This new five-bedroom detached property in East Preston, West Sussex, is on the market for £1.595 million. There's a good chance that some of the 55,000 viewers were drawn by the idea of a family home within commuting distance of London and walking distance of the beach. Although how many of them have this sort of cash handy is another matter entirely.

3. The one and only affordable family house on this list makes it to number 3, with 59,000 views. The Pembrokeshire 4-bedroom detached property comes in at just £220,000. For that you get a practical detached property with four bedrooms and off-street parking.

2. Some 62,000 people thought this 11-bedroom mansion on the outskirts of London was worth a look. Admittedly the price is a little on the steep side - at £19.95 million, but you do get your own private estate, drawing room, cinema, entertaining room, outdoor pool and pool house.

1. The most viewed house of the month was this 6-bedroom new-build mansion in an exclusive estate in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. Some 86,000 people logged on to check out this £4.95 million property. It has all the trappings you'd expect in footballer territory - including an enormous sweeping staircase, lots of entertaining rooms, a games room and a triple garage. There's also - bizarrely - an orangery.
