Estate agents are reporting a rise in demand for homes in countryside locations, since the pandemic had people on the hunt for more outside space.
Savills agents have said they’ve seen a 60% rise in interest for rental homes in the most desirable countryside areas. The new research by Savills, exclusive to The Telegraph, has unveiled the most desirable villages, including one Merseyside area.
Hightown has made the list, with an average property price of £299,304 being recorded. Frances Clay, analyst at Savills, said: “People want villages that have a bit of everything, from schools to stunning countryside, with accessibility to cities and transport infrastructure. Less-well trumpeted factors count too, such as the main road through the village should only lead to other villages.”
