Brits' typical dream home revealed
What would Britain's most desired home look like?
Britain's dream home is typically a four-bedroom, detached, seaside property near a Tesco.
As well as living in a coastal village, people typically desire two living rooms, two bathrooms, a garden, garage, utility room and an office, according to Rightmove, which questions more than 2,000 people in August.
Tesco just pipped Waitrose overall as the supermarket most people want to have nearby, the poll found.
Rightmove said that, looking at property listings on its website, Tesco, with its large network of stores, is the supermarket that is generally mentioned most often by estate agents.
Aldi was identified in the survey as the most desired supermarket in Scotland and the West Midlands, while Sainsbury's was the winner in Yorkshire and the Humber.
And the top amenities people want within walking distance from their dream property are a pub, a corner shop, a coffee shop and a market.
Property expert Tim Bannister, from Rightmove, said: "Usually you might think a dream home is a mansion with swimming pools and other luxuries, but the British sense of thinking practically comes through very clearly, with garages, utility rooms and home offices the order of the day."
"This means that many people looking to move right now are likely to be looking for a smaller home."
Here are the supermarkets people would most like to have near their dream home, according to Rightmove:
- East Midlands, Waitrose
- East of England, Tesco
- London, Waitrose
- North East, Tesco
- Scotland, Aldi
- South East, Waitrose
- South West, Waitrose
- Wales, Tesco
- West Midlands, Aldi
- Yorkshire and the Humber, Sainsbury's
