TV houses you covet

Have been binging on BBC's Annika (played by Nicola Walker) and I want her house, on the shores of Loch Lomond.
Mind you, I also wanted NW's house in The Split.

Are there any TV houses you'd love to live in, Downton Abbey aside?

Downton Abbey, or failing that the very industrial apartment in New York that the guy from the Limitless tv show lived in.

I covet her award winning scones!

Not half! 😀

From 'The maid' on Netflix. Regina's house. It's really beautiful. It's not far from my house. I sometimes take a drive out that way and dream about winning the lottery and buying it.

Definitely the Brown’s house in Paddington. Or Phoenix Buchanan’s.

Also the parochial house in Father Ted.

I like the idea of the lake house in 'The Lake House' but I need more privacy. There's no way I could relax in that place in the dark.

Yes the houses in Big Little Lies. I liked the one with Zoe Kravitz and the ex of Reece Witherspoon character too (not ocean front).

Meryl Streep's house in It's Complicated.

I just came on to say Meryl’s house in It’s Complicated. Upstate New York I think?

For Manhattan itself, I’d love an Upper West Side apartment in The Arconia (Only Murders in the Building).

The practical magic house

Ina Garten’s house in East Hampton. (Barefoot Contessa) American TV cook & author. Fabulous house & garden.

Ooh film houses - of course the McCallister house in Home Alone first comes to mind!
I also loved the Cullen house in the forest in the Twilight saga.

I actually rewatched the last couple of Twilights just to see and lust over the house, plus the South American villa where they honeymooned!

The Browns’ house in Paddington. I love the tree mural in the stairwell.

I’d love that house too

The townhouse from Mr & Mrs Smith (the Amazon series)

Film house: the Owens home in Practical Magic

Pudmyboy · 07/09/2025 17:30

Quite liked the house in Knives Out, but without the big round display of knives

booksnpepsimax · 07/09/2025 17:32

The cottage in the film The Holiday

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 07/09/2025 17:37

The Gilmore Girls house in the eponymous series. Also has to be in Stars Hollow.

DrAmeliaShepherdMD · 07/09/2025 17:38

Richard and Emily Gilmore’s house - if I could afford a maid!

Realistically I’d love to live in Lorelai’s house

Marylou2 · 07/09/2025 17:38

Any Nancy Meyers movie house or Frasier's Seattle apartment.

Chiefangel · 07/09/2025 17:43

I always liked the Barnaby’s house (John Nettles) in Midsommer Murders.
Julia’s house in Motherland
And a weird one, the house in Beetlejuice.

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 07/09/2025 17:43

Another one - Jimmy Perez’s house in Shetland

Kellywiththelegs · 07/09/2025 17:46

When I bought my first tiny starter home years ago I used to covet “Dalentrace” from Birds of a Feather, I loved the kitchen so much back in the day and even more so when Tracey’s kitchen burned down and was replaced with a Laura Ashley country style kitchen.

His house was so depressing though, as was he!

Kellywiththelegs · 07/09/2025 17:49

A nice cosy house is Sally and Tim’s in Coronation Street.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 07/09/2025 17:57

The house that Tom and Jerry (the original version) live in.

When Tom chases Jerry, they run for ages and ages, and pass loads of doors to other rooms (although we never get to see what rooms they are). It must be a really massive house.

SanDimasHighSchoolFootballRules · 07/09/2025 18:00

The guys’ apartment in Three men and a baby.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 07/09/2025 18:04

Just thought of another one, Edina's house in Absolutely Fabulous. I used to think her basement kitchen was the coolest thing.

Otis’ mums house in Sex education

I was coming to say this!
