The newspaper has published research gathered by Savills estate agents. And Kirkby Overblow, located between Harrogate and Wetherby, is one of 48 villages including on the list. The data reveals the most “desirable” villages, based on a number of factors including highest house prices, best lifestyle amenities, connectivity and aesthetic appeal. Kirkby Overblow has an average house price of £762,566. Frances McDonald, director of research at Savills, said:
“Our latest research indicates that proximity to a train station, place of work and family has become much more important for those searching for a new home – particularly as individuals are more likely to be commuting to the office multiple times a week. “While still important to some now, pandemic buyer wish lists favoured proximity to parks, shops, and local pubs and restaurants. “Exactly what village characteristics are classed as essential will vary from buyer to buyer, but we know that access to education, attractive surroundings and connectivity is a decent definition of a ‘have it all’ village.”Speaking about Kirkby Overblow, Ed Stoyle of Savills recommended the Shoulder of Mutton pub as a place to visit.
