Mobile homes were once considered unslightly blots on the landscape. But it seems they’re undergoing something of a renaissance if some of the current asking prices are anything to go by.

We have found a handful of such properties around the country with price tags higher than the average home in Britain - and in some cases significantly more: one has an asking price of almost £500k.

The mobile homes are priced between £250,000 for a two bedroom version and £499,950 for one with three bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms.

It comes in the week that Nationwide revealed that average house prices have risen 4.3 per cent during the past year to £205,240. It predicts that values will continue to rise, climbing 2 per cent throughout 2017.

However, average values would have to increase significantly - by almost £100,000 - before they reached the price of this £299,950 mobile home in Bracknell, Berkshire. The property has two bedrooms, a garage and a large garden.
