A Berkshire 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.”
Berkshire's most desirable village
Sunningdale
Average house price: £1,101,285
What makes it so appealing? With great transport links to London, delicious French cuisine and a Waitrose to boot, it's no wonder Sunningdale has that all-important posh appeal.
The Telegraph describes it as a "super village" with plenty to keep locals and visitors occupied.
There is no shortage of places to eat including mouthwatering French cooking at La Cloche at the Carpenters or you can enjoy a laidback weekend brunch at Eliane of Sunningdale.
It boasts the best of both worlds, acting as a "doorstep of open country" but still allowing easy access to London when you want a taste of the urban lifestyle.
