It is well established that having an upmarket supermarket like Waitrose or Morrisons on your doorstep can increase the price of your house - but new research by residential property services provider FirstPort has found more Brits would rather live near the North East institution that is Greggs.
More than one in six (15 per cent) of those surveyed stated they would prefer to live near the beloved bakery chain over a Morrisons branch (13 per cent) or a Waitrose (eight per cent).
The research surveyed around 2,000 adults from across the UK, and explored the brands and amenities residents would most like to live next to, as well as the local heroes that help strengthen communities.
