Which one would it be? I'll go first. The Father Of The Bride house. It's just so lovely and welcoming. I imagine it would be so cozy at Christmas too... I live on my own so obviously it would be me and five cats.

I know most of you will probably say the Mrs Doubtfire house but I cannot be arsed with hills!

The cottage from the holiday including Jude law

Harry’s NY apartment in When Harry Met Sally. Or Susan Sarandon’s house in Stepmom.

And I agree with pp, Anne of Green Gables’ house (in the tv drama) is dreamy.

UneFoisAuChalet · 20/02/2026 21:10

Pam and Mick’s house in Gavin and Stacey
Jason Bateman and Laura Linley’s house in Ozark

These are houses I could most probably afford so it’s a very realistic dream.

Yes this would have been my next go to (Stepmom). When Julia Roberts drives up to it just before the shower argument you get a full view of the whole house and I remember thinking wow what a house!

The Brown’s house in Paddington. Gorgeous.

Redheadedstepchild · 20/02/2026 21:25

Oh, so many!

Windy Corner from A Room With A View.
The Tenenbaum House from The Royal Tenembaums.

Any of the locations from the 1990's Jeeves and Wooster series, although I particularly liked Bertie's New York appartment.

Gosford Park, apart from the murdering.

The plantation houses from The Help apart from the racism and chocolate pie.

The original Outnumbered house.

Father Ted's parochial house on Craggy Island. Just to go to John and Mary's shop. Or Bernard's bookshop in Black Books.

You can tell I hate my flat can't you? My choices are getting more and more surreal.

I was almost quick enough to be the first one to say that! All those colours and the massive central staircase, it's amazing

The house they use in Oliver Twist when his grandfather rescues him.
It was actually a set but looks similar to houses on Royal Crescent in Bath.
