Wymondham's Stanfield Hall among most viewed Rightmove homes

The online sales and letting agency published a list of the homes most looked at last month, with Wymondham's historic Stanfield Hall featuring amongst the likes of Scottish estates and castles. 

Dating back to 1792, the eight-bedroom manor comes "rich with tales for you to entertain your dinner guests with", said Mark Rimell, director at Strutt & Parker, as well as a Gothic staircase similar to those seen in the Harry Potter films.

But that's not all - the hall was once the scene of a shocking double murder that appalled the country. 

In the mid-1800s, the landowner was shot by James Bloomfield Rush, the family's widowed tenant farmer of more than a decade, as well as his young son, wife and maid.

It was Rush's plan to blame the deaths on rival claimants to the estate in order to avoid eviction, which would hurt his nine children and pregnant mistress, but the landowner's wife and maid survived, allowing them to positively identify him.

He was arrested and found guilty by a jury after just 10 minutes and sent to hang at Norwich Castle, which was attended by 15,000 people - including Charles Dickens.

Now extensively restored and modernised, the Georgian manor is up for sale for £5,250,000, set within a 35-acre parkland and featuring a moat, kitchen garden, tennis court and woodland.

Of the homes in the list, Rightmove's property expert, Tim Bannister, said: "From jaw-dropping historical estates to homes with inspired design features, it's clear to see why these properties have stopped home hunters in their tracks this summer."
