A Buckinghamshire village has been named as one of the poshest places to live in the UK.
The countryside property market is booming as people turn away from bustling towns and cities in search of the perfect rural retreat.
Estate agents Knight Frank has reported the highest number of sales in the country market for 15 years and the number of home buyers registering last year is up 35%.
Driven by this increased demand for the country life, The Telegraph has named the country’s most desirable villages in each county.
Talking about what makes a place highly sought after, analyst at Savills, Frances Clacy, told the newspaper: “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.”
Buckinghamshire's most desirable village
Turville
Average house price: £1,463,240
What makes it so appealing? Tucked away in the Chiltern Hills, it's not difficult to see why Turville is so appealing to locals and visitors alike.
The quaint village is located just five miles west of High Wycombe and is home to stunning 16th-century cottages and even a small riding centre.
Charlie Chavasse of Savills added that the excellent pub, nursery, church and riding facilities are all part of why the village has become so in demand.
It even boasts a famous Cobstone Windmill which you might have spotted in popular BBC programmes like Killing Eve, The Vicar of Dibley and in the classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
