Sway Tower was included in the list as the property website marked its 25th anniversary.
Discussing why they created the list, Rightmove shared: “From a house with its own Tardis, to a home with a sculptural shark crashing through its roof, we’ve picked 25 homes that have made quite the splash over the years.”
The full list of the 25 UK homes that broke the internet can be found on the Rightmove website here.

Sway Tower was designed by Yorkshire-born Andrew Thomas Turton Peterson (1813-1906), and work began on it back in 1879.
This construction continued for six years, resulting in a 218-foot-tall concrete tower.

The tower has 13 floors and a spiral staircase consisting of 330 separately moulded steps.
Interest stirred around it when the Grade II listed landmark was put up for sale in 2021, but it has since been removed from Rightmove by the agent.

Discussing its inclusion in the list, the property website says: “This brutalist tower boasts some of the best views in the whole of the South of England.
“Taking in the panoramic Solent and the Isle of Wight from a rarely seen elevated perspective, this property caused a lot of interaction online.”
