A list of the 54 'poshest' villages in the UK, based on factors including house prices, lifestyle amenities, connectivity, and 'chocolate-box appeal', was compiled by the Telegraph using data from Savills Estate Agents, but could you actually live in one of them?
Living in an idyllic country village is a lifestyle and property dream for many people, with the data also revealing that high numbers of people are prepared to spend thousands of pounds on rent in countryside spots, in some cases for years, until a suitable home in their desired village location becomes available.
Around 60% of Savills estate agents reported a rise in demand for rental homes in the most desirable countryside locations during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. Additionally, 57% said the demand came from those who could not buy where they wanted.
