Is this what your dream home looks like?
If you were asked to describe your dream home then you may choose a detached house, large garden, and bespoke design.
Well, according to research carried out by GoCompare Mortgages, the UK's perfect obode is actually an 'eco-minimalist', detached home, complete with three bedrooms and a modest, medium-sized garden.
Two fifths of respondents to the survey wanted a custom-built house, 33% placed their ideal home in a village setting (unsurprisingly), 28% would like an eco-minimalist house and 52% preferred traditional interior design, including a country style.
When it came to the features outside the house, the most popular addition was a garage. Most respondents preferred a simple garden and a whopping 90% would like eco-friendly features, including solar panels.

So what does our dream home actually look like?
Collaborating with architect Marc Sawan, from eye-kon, GoCompare Mortgages have designed and built the UK's ideal home, using CGI.
'The 3D fly-through we produced for this project is a crucial tool to "visit" the house from the front door to the last bedroom, passing by all the key spaces,' Marc Sawan of eye-kon said.
'The still 3D visuals are useful to inform on the proportions of a space, the locations of openings and the potential for furnishing the space. If you were to build your own home, both of these assets are invaluable and cost-effective design tools for an architect and a prospective home owner to refine the design before it's turned into reality.'
So how much is the house worth?
GoCompare Mortgages spoke to CPS Homes and here's what they had to say: 'It's all about location really and the demand for certain areas is what really influences prices.'
So this home in different areas of the country would greatly differ in value.
