Some house names instantly conjure an image, whether it’s the distinctive roof line of an Oast House, the grandeur of a Manor House or the wondrous timbers within a Tithe Barn. With this in mind, we’ve scoured Land Registry sales over the past five years to find which house name has commanded the highest value.

By only looking at names associated with least 30 sales and confining our list to those where at least one in five sales is at £1 million or over, we sought to find consistent premiums.

And a little literary research has added a bit of colour to the story. So read on to see how the ancient feudal system, religion, mythology, beer and our nation’s flora still affect what we consider to be prime as well as how a simple three letters T, H and E can add a sense of provenance.
