House prices of £2million properties in rural areas have risen by the fastest rate in a decade as wealthy people in cities hunt for countryside retreats across the UK.
Homes in the southwest, the Cotswolds and Scotland were most popular as well as luxury properties in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Norfolk.
While countryside homes like these have increased in value by an average of £111,000 (5.5 per cent), a similarly priced flat or house in central London has gone down in value by an average of £8,000 (0.4 per cent) this year.
