There has been a surge of interest in moving to the country due to city dwellers' priorities changing during the coronavirus lockdown, estate agents have said.
Miles Shipside of Rightmove said:"The lure of a new lifestyle, one that is quieter and has an abundance of beautiful countryside and more outdoor space, has led to more city dwellers choosing to become rural residents. In many cases, the searches show house hunters are looking at villages within commuting distance to their current city, suggesting people are being drawn to the appeal of a quieter way of life.
Dr Peter Brooks, chief behavioural scientist at Barclays said:"More outside space and the benefits of being closer to friends and family are high on the 'must have' list for many movers.
