Country life key for homebuyers

And we’re not talking about the magazine. So says the BBC:

Homebuyers value being near green open space more than living close to shops or other amenities, a survey from Halifax Estate Agents suggests.

More than one in four homebuyers chose proximity to the countryside as the most important factor when choosing where to live.

Fewer than one in five said that being near shops, a good school or transport links was the key deciding factor.
