Brits want quirky period homes with some buyers demanding stables, churches or even WINDMILLS for their dream moves

A FIFTH of homebuyers are now on the hunt for a property with "originality" – with period features a must.

Gone are the days property hunters long for modern dwellings, as research has found quirky characteristics are now more desirable.

The study polling 2,000 adults aged 25-60 on the hunt for a new home revealed 12 per cent are keeping an eye out for properties with untraditional, renovated space in the home, such as stables, churches or even windmills.

And concealed rooms or built-in herb gardens are also on the checklist for one in 10.

A further 17 per cent want an office in their garden, while more than one in 10 are looking for homes with a basement.
